Second, Farming Village Co. Unlimited is about a Satoyama-inspired enterprise based on crop diversification and creative local produce marketing in Gongrong, Sanzhi District, New Taipei City. Third, Letters the Blue Sea Wrote to the Land of Coastal Terraces is about a Satoyama-style landscape in Fuxing and Xinshe, Fengbin Township, Hualien, where senior citizens are reinventing their traditional knitting culture and where their children are restoring the coastal terraces – ancient paddy fields. Fourth, Shining Herb Village is about nostalgic children of farmers who have come home to Shangde, Donghe Township, Taitung in search of childhood memories of fragrant shining herbs and in the hopes of helping silver-haired old-timers restore the local landscape.
