In recent years, although the cost of the globalized food risks in Taiwan is huge, it presents a quite strong wave of the production of robust knowledge. If we can establish the mechanism of democratic governance of science and technology by taking this good chance, we will continue to deepen the fairness of the local society in the scene of the global political and economic hegemony. The values of fairness and equality in environmental, health or social development will be the most basic value and institutional foundation to lead the country to prosperity.
