Promotion of demonstration sites for the recycling of tomatoes, mushroom media and tea by-products

This project is promoted by the agricultural recycling demonstration site, and the remaining agricultural by-products produced near the demonstration site are removed, and the resource reuse method is to stabilize the supply of front-end raw materials and back-end animal breeding. Develop technology to reuse agricultural by-products such as tomatoes and tea, and reduce agricultural by-products by raising animals. This year (112) to develop the utilization of tea by-products for the annual tea farm mechanical harvesting of residual by-products (Figure 1), for tea animals that are not suitable for tea making, the use of tea cyanine to mix into the concentrate, raising ruminants, and after one year to complete the sheep feed additives test (Figure 2), the results of the test results of sheep feeding for tea by-products to remove part of the benefit, tea by-products of about 10,000 kilograms. Secondly, this plan establishes a multiple reuse model of mushroom bag residual media. Taking advantage of the convenient location of Taichung City's new community, it is estimated that 100,000 tons of mushroom bag residual media will be generated every year, which can be used for the production of organic fertilizers or granulated as biomass fuel. And through mixing to increase fertility, the applicable scope is expanded, and it is put into corn seed production. The corn cobs after the corn ears are threshed are used to fill mushroom cultivation media, realizing a full recycling model of mushroom media and establishing a different industry. Demonstration field for vertically integrated resource-based agricultural circular production in the middle and lower reaches. This project will hold an observation meeting in the later stage of the project, with more than 40 relevant farmers participating (Figure 3).
