    There are some farmers sold local agricultural products on the roadside around their home or farmland at the countryside.  Sometimes, we'll buy some of those vegetables or fruits which were freshly harvested and cheaper than those in the market.  By the way, some elder farmers will talk about their experience of cooking or some interesting agricultural practices.  Sometimes, we could learned some words of wisdom.

    Biomass were quite useful and could be used in different ways.  First, u can compost those biomass to become organic fertilizer.   Biomass could be transfer to energy by combustion.  Through anaerobic digestion, biomass could be digested to produce methane and could be used like natural gas or produce electricity through CHP.

    過去,我們總認為地球上的資源取之不盡、用之不竭,但是,實際上,資源是有限的,如何讓資源有效地被利用,減少消耗、避免浪費,透過各種方法讓這些可用的資源能循環應用,這樣也才能永續發展。
