A workshop on reducing food loss and waste through packaging innovation was held through the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation framework June 5-6 in the central city of Taichung.
The Ministry of Agriculture, organizer of the workshop, said Taiwan is a lead economy for the APEC Food Security Roadmap Towards 2030, and that this event is part of the country's ongoing commitment to promoting capacity building and best practices sharing related to food waste reduction in member economies.
According to the MOA, more than 140 representatives from 16 APEC member economies took part in the two-day event to review progress of their respective policy measures. Those in attendance included Maximo Torero, chief economist at the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, and Dana Gunders, executive director of U.S.-based nonprofit ReFED.
Citing the FAO's 2030 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report, the ministry called packaging a key tool when it comes to reducing food loss and waste, as it can strengthen food safety and security by extending shelf life and allowing food to be transported farther.
The Asia-Pacific is a major source of food production and exports, the ministry said. Food loss and waste not only squander agricultural resources but also increase production costs, leading to lower income for food producers, a higher burden on consumers and greater negative environmental impact, the MOA added.
To demonstrate Taiwan's achievements in reducing food loss and waste, the workshop also included an exhibition showcasing the country's success in promoting innovative food packing, food sharing and circular economies. The ministry said Taiwan will continue to work with its fellow APEC members to ensure global food security and sustainable development. (SFC-E)

The Ministry of Environment launched an opening ceremony for the first domestic resource circulation upgrading center on World Environment Day June 5 in Taipei City, underscoring the government's commitment to promoting circular economies.
Prominent attendees included Minister of Environment Peng Chi-ming, Director General Lai Ying-ying of the ministry's Resource Circulation Administration and representatives of related industries, the ministry said.
Echoing the theme of World Environment Day, "Beat Plastic Pollution," the ministry pledged to continue its policy of using recycled resources and encouraging circular design to promote the reduction of plastic usage and waste.
In response to climate change, circular economies are key to fulfilling net-zero transition, the MOENV said, adding that circular design and procurement would serve alongside green marketing as motivating forces propelling change in consumer behaviors and enabling a societal push for sustainability.
According to the ministry, the newly established center will provide services for incubating startups and space for displaying and selling commodities produced within the circular economy. Funding through the green growth fund initiated in May of this year will also be offered for relevant research.
The center was built as part of government efforts to create business opportunities for new startups through holding matchmaking events, the MOENV said. It added that 10 startups are expected to be selected annually for assistance with entry into the market, while 40 brands working in the circular economy will stage exhibits, the MOENV added.
Four main shows are set for this year, the MOENV said, adding that the first, focused on textiles produced within the circular economy, is underway through the middle of July and features green design techniques and smart recycling. (POC-E)

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working to build an international nongovernmental organization center in Taiwan to position the country as an Indo-Pacific INGO hub, according to Chiang Zhen-wei, director general of the MOFA's Department of NGO International Affairs June 3.
Chiang announced that the MOFA is currently searching for a suitable location with a consultation platform to be held later. He added that the government will further deepen connections between civil groups and INGOs setting up branches in Taiwan to strengthen regional civic society partnerships, boost exchanges with global democracies and promote regional and world peace.
The ministry is also implementing measures to attract more INGOs to base themselves in Taiwan, including revising laws to allow heads of foreign civil groups to set up offices before they obtain Alien Resident Certificates, Chiang said. An NGO bilingual website and an exclusive one-stop information contact window were created, he noted, adding that subsidies are provided by the ministry for the INGO start-up and short-term rental fees.
The action aligns with civil group representatives' aims to position Taiwan as an INGO hub at the 8th Yushan Forum held this March in Taipei City, Chiang said. He added that since 2020 over 10 INGOs have established branches in Taiwan, including Washington D.C.-headquartered Freedom House and National Democratic Institute, as well as Hiroshima-based Peace Winds Japan.
Chiang also announced a reunion of Taiwan Youth Ambassadors June 6 at Taipei Guest House. Launched in 2009, over 1,800 participants of the program have visited over 60 countries to undertake cultural exchange and public diplomacy, he said, adding that a total of 40 youth diplomats will be chosen to embark on a trip to the Marshall Islands with stops at Hawaii and Guam in late August under this year's Indigenous diplomacy theme.

President Lai Ching-te said June 3 that Taiwan is committed to deepening its partnership with the Marshall Islands in pursuit of mutually beneficial development and prosperity.
Lai made the remarks while meeting with the Marshall Islands President Hilda C. Heine and her delegation at the Presidential Office in Taipei City. He described the two allies as a family and mentioned the close ties between the countries in the fields of agriculture, climate adaptation, medical care and women's empowerment, and added that he looks forward to expanding collaboration in aviation, education and sports.
Lai thanked the government of the Marshall Islands for its continued backing of Taiwan, including remarks made by Heine and her ministers at global events, and regular resolutions passed in the Nitijela that support Taiwan's international participation.
In her remarks, Heine pointed out that this year marks the 27th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Taiwan and the Marshall Islands. The long-standing relationship is built on the allies' shared Austronesian culture, respect for democracy and strong commitment to freedom, justice and the rule of law, she added.
Heine further presented a resolution to Lai, which was proposed by the people and the government of the Marshall Islands expressing appreciation to Taiwan. She concluded by urging the U.N. to take actions to solve the issue that Taiwan's 23 million people are still improperly excluded from the international body and its specialized agencies.
Following the meeting, the two leaders witnessed the signing by Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung and Marshallese Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Kalani Kaneko of a letter of intent for sports exchanges and a memorandum of understanding for presidential scholarship funds. Lai further launched a loan for the Marshall Islands to purchase new airplanes.

An event presenting the results of the Ministry of Education's Design Movement on Campus project was held by the ministry June 2 at Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in Taipei City, highlighting the government's commitment to creating an aesthetic learning environment for the next generation of students.
Hosted by Minister of Education Cheng Ying-yao, the event featured 21 successful cases from around Taiwan. Their themes ranged from "openness and locality," "creative stage" and "support and care" to "diversified exploration" and "teacher growth."
Among them is a glass exhibition room renovated by Hsinchu Fuli Junior High School in the northern city. Dynamic colors, lights and spatial layout were used to create an immersive viewing experience and stoke student interest in traditional skills.
Kaohsiung Municipal Fongshan Junior High School in the southern city set up a mini theater for emotional education featuring curved walls and black curtains, while Hsinhu Elementary School in Taipei built individual and group counseling rooms with arcs and soft colors, as well as a calming stress-release area, to create a safe and friendly support environment.
National Hengchun Vocational High School in the southern county of Pingtung transformed a disused space into an outdoor venue for coffee-making and ecological courses in addition to interactive community activities. Jinsyue Elementary School in the southern city of Tainan designed a training base for special education teachers incorporating movable furniture and adjustable curtains to flexibly accommodate activities for up to 100 people.
Speaking at the event, Cheng said the Design Movement on Campus initiative seeks to turn the campuses into open environments that boost the creativity, emotional expression, local identity and social connection of students. An exhibition of the project's achievements is also underway until July 27 at the park, according to the MOE.
Launched in 2010, the initiative is implemented by Taipei-based Taiwan Design Research Institute. It aims to help schools at all levels work with professional design teams to implement aesthetic campus transformations, with 112 schools completing renovations to date. (YCH-E)

Hosted by Minister of Education Cheng Ying-yao, the event featured 21 successful cases from around Taiwan. Their themes ranged from "openness and locality," "creative stage" and "support and care" to "diversified exploration" and "teacher growth."
Among them is a glass exhibition room renovated by Hsinchu Fuli Junior High School in the northern city. Dynamic colors, lights and spatial layout were used to create an immersive viewing experience and stoke student interest in traditional skills.
Kaohsiung Municipal Fongshan Junior High School in the southern city set up a mini theater for emotional education featuring curved walls and black curtains, while Hsinhu Elementary School in Taipei built individual and group counseling rooms with arcs and soft colors, as well as a calming stress-release area, to create a safe and friendly support environment.

The National Taiwan Museum kicked off an exhibition exploring the architecture of railway stations June 2 at its Railway Department Park in Taipei City.
Running until March 1, 2026, "Let's Go to the Station" is geared toward schoolchildren. The exhibit details the design of station buildings through images, text, video and 3 interactive games, as well as 38 creative workshops with exclusive sessions for preschoolers, elementary and junior high school students.
At the opening ceremony, Minister of Culture Li Yuan shared that he lived next to a railway station in his childhood. He said he hoped to boost children's access to culture, and encouraged students in attendance to visit the Vision Pavilion of the National Children's Future Museum launched last month, among others.
Following his remarks, NTM Director Chen Teng-chin said the exhibit aims to meet children at their level, helping them understand the design intentions that factor into everything from arrangements for ticket gates to toilet locations and foot traffic routes through stations.
Chen Shih-pen, chief engineer of Taiwan Railway Corp., Ltd, said that Taiwan currently boasts 241 railway stations. He noted that their architecture ranges from wooden Qing dynasty (1644-1911) structures to innovative modern designs that incorporate iconic local elements. (YCH-E)
