Research on the Integrated Planning and working tendency analysis for the seedling training courses in Farmers' Academy.

(一) the Integrated Planning for the seedling training courses

This project is based on making an inventory the situation of course opening of the plant seed and seeding category training classes in recent years, and combining occupational competency blueprint of the plant seed industry, human and technical demand in the seed industry, the direction of agricultural policy and the professional core competency in the Taiwan seed improvement and propagation station. Planning to set up some related courses in the future, including "advanced unicity and specificity course", "seed production course of upland and organic cultivating crops", "small agricultural machinery operation and maintenance course", "breeding and cultivation technology course of healthy seedling", "seed conservation techniques course" and "building and repairing training course of simple greenhouse and nets". By means of these courses, we look forward to cultivating professional talents and increasing competitiveness in our country’s seed industry.

 (二) Research on the working tendency analysis in Farmers' Academy

The project conducts a "Farmer Risk Assessment"questionnaire survey for students who participated in the training class of the Farmers' Academy. Probe into their farming conditions, personality traits and the ability of risk tolerance. The research results showed that most of the non-agricultural second generation have much lower risk-bearing ability than those of the agricultural second generation. When the loss of agricultural assets exceeds one-third of total assets, the impact on the life of the main source of household economy is much higher than that of the main source of non-family economy.
