Fulfilling university social responsibility is a sustainable campus issue of Yunlin University of Science and Technology (Yuntech). Based on the experiences of problem-based learning programs, Yuntech is dedicated to solving social problems and implementing social practices actively. People-oriented and starting from Yunlin local needs are the origin of this project.

    Yuntech is located in an agricultural county. In recent years, the number of chicken farmers in Yunlin and the total number of annual breedings has been at the top of Taiwan. Poultry has become an important industry in Yunlin. The industry consists of multiple manufacturers from upstream, middle to downstream, including feed, vaccines, incubation, breeding, slaughtering, processing, logistics and marketing, forming a complicated supply chain. Although food safety and avian influenza are the management focus of various manufacturers, the informationization levels of the supply chain members are quite different. The information across supply chain members is not transparent. Consumers can get only fragmented product information. This USR program chooses to link with Yunlin's chicken industry, with the goal of building a supply chain traceability management platform to explore and solve industry issues. Figure 2 shows the execution organization of the project.

    The Intelligent Agricultural Park Research Center of Yunteh is the core organization to execute the project. It links upwards to Yunlin chicken industry to form a supply chain, and provides courses and industry practices to train cross-college students through the intelligent agricultural management program, in cooperation with National Chung Hsing University, Tunghai University and National Chiayi University. The goal of the courses is to train students to provide multi-disciplined services for chicken industry. In addition, the project works towards the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs). The results of the project this year are described in the following four aspects: industry linkage, talent cultivation, cross-university cooperation, and connection to United Nation’s SDGs.

    In the linkage with local chicken industry, the project builds two representative supply chains. One is the Li-Rui supply chain with Li-Rui livestock company as the core, as shown in Figure 3. Li Rui livestock company is located in Yunlin with a breeding scale of 1.5 million chickens and more than 100 contract livestock farms. Li-Rui consists of the breeding, slaughtering and food processing one-stop supply chain. The second supply chain is a circulation-centric Ji-Pin supply chain, which is expected to be gradually expanded from poultry products to 45 self-owned brands of products, including agricultural, fishery and livestock products.

    This project cooperates with an entrepreneurship company to build a cloud-based supply chain traceability management platform. The company is found in 2015 and is our first cultivated entrepreneurship company. The platform successfully integrates all the manufacturers in the chicken supply chain to provide consumers with complete product “foodprints.” Figure 4 shows an example of Li-Rui supply chain. It consists of three levels of information: The top level is the food-processing foodprint. It links to the second level slaughtering foodprint, which links again to the third level chicken breeding foodprint.

    In "talent cultivation", The Yuntech "Sustainable Development and Social Practice Research Center" and the Intelligent Agricultural Management Program offer three courses to train the cross-domain students with the talents needed by chicken industry. The three courses are described as the following：

    Social Dream-maker is a new course offered in the first semester of the 2020 academic year. This course guides students to understand the social responsibility of the university and understand their connection to society. Sharing USR practice cases with co-teachers, allows students to enter different learning areas in the course, and explore how to connect their expertise with local social issues.

    Intelligent Agricultural Management is a regular course offered in the first semester of the 2020 academic year. This course is student-centric, self-exploration to solve problems. There are four main topics: 1. introduction of fundamental agriculture knowledge through expert seminars, 2. introduction of program roadmap to facilitate students plan careers and find out entrepreneurship opportunities, 3. experiencing farm management and products marketing through practical projects, 4. introduction of Yuntech USR agricultural projects. 

    Intelligent farm Management is also a regular course offered in the second semester of the 2019 academic year. It introduces intelligent farm management practices in depth to guide students to apply their expertise in agriculture.

    In addition to the curriculum, this year a new entrepreneurship team was cultivated to be selected in the first phase of the U-start Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program and elected as one of the well-operated team candidates in the second phase. The team has found a start-up company in June. The company offers Global G.A.P. electronic certification coaching services, and is the fourth innovative start-up of our research center.

    In cross-university cooperation, this project has cooperated with National Chung Hsing University, Tunghai University and National Chiayi University to carry out industrial services and collaborative teaching. The cooperation of the experienced professors of partner schools complements Yuntech agricultural professional needs. The new start-up team is the joint training results of Yuntech and National Chiayi University. In addition, Tunghai University and Yuntech have held an innovative smart agriculture and livestock conference in March. 

    This project directs all efforts to the United Nation’s SDGs. Although the project addressed only SDG 9 and 12 as its goals at the beginning, the project gradually discovers that it can link up to eight goals, as shown in Figure 10: SDG2 Zero Hunger - providing chickens as good nutrition source, SDG3 Good Health and Well-Being - ensuring food safety through traceability management, SDG8 Decent Work and Economic Growth- creating new job opportunities for the industry, SDG 9 Industry Innovation and Infrastructure- developing cloud infrastructure for chicken industry, SDG11 Sustainable Cities and Communities- establishing a sustainable coexistence of community and chicken industry, SDG12 Responsible Consumption and Production by - ensuring sustainable consumption and production supply chain, SDG15 Life On Land- promoting humane breeding in the chicken industry, SDG17 Partnerships For The Goals - building partnerships between chicken supply chain manufacturers and communities.
