In response to the growing threat of climate change driven by greenhouse gas emissions, and in alignment with Taiwan’s national goals for net-zero emissions, National Taiwan University has established the Agricultural Net-Zero Carbon Technology and Management Innovation Research Center (ANZC). The center seeks to integrate teaching and research resources across diverse fields within the College of Bioresources and Agriculture, including soil science, crop science, hydrology, environmental science, forestry, animal husbandry, microbiology, and social sciences. ANZC is dedicated to advancing and promoting technologies and strategies for reducing carbon emissions and increasing carbon sequestration in agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry.
Through multidisciplinary collaboration, the center fosters international partnerships, develops professional talent, and provides platforms for collaboration among industry, government, academia, and research institutions. These efforts aim to support the government in formulating a comprehensive blueprint and implementation strategies to achieve net-zero emissions in Taiwan’s agricultural sector.
