Taiwan Food & Farm Tour invites Asian American food workers and land stewards to Taiwan for cultural exchange, skill sharing, land-based healing and internationalist solidarity building, in partnership with leaders in Taiwanese traditional foodways and regenerative agriculture.
Organized by Taiwanese- and Asian American farmers and food justice organizers, the pilot program launched in November 2025 with a weeklong agroecology immersion where eight delegates from California and New York met with and learned from more than 20 Taiwanese farmers, food producers, chefs and community leaders in Taipei, Pinglin, Yilan and Hualien.
MISSION
We connect Asian Americans in food and farming with their counterparts in Taiwan through immersive exchanges. By building real relationships across the Pacific — sharing techniques, seeds, stories, and markets — we strengthen local food systems against global challenges: climate change, industrial agriculture, and the loss of traditional foodways.
VISION
We envision a resilient network of farmers, food workers and organizers — rooted in Taiwan and Asian America — actively exchanging knowledge, supporting each other’s livelihoods, and contributing to regenerative models that benefit people and planet. We see this network as vital infrastructure (social, political, economical) that will engender transformative shifts away from current, extractive paradigms in food and agriculture.
