Abstract

In 2022, Taiwan enacted the Food and Agricultural Education Act, thus officially launching its food education policy. The objective of this article is to elucidate the social background to this Act and current challenges to promoting food education. The data were obtained from the relevant literature and interviews with 11 key actors, who represented academia, the government, public education and civil society. Although having much in common with the Japanese equivalent policy, Taiwan's food education contains some notable features. Food education began as a reaction to recent food safety scandals, growing food anxiety, the prevalence of eating out, the globalisation of food systems and increasing instability, all of which characterise reflexive food modernity. The Taiwanese policy aims to avoid the nutrition-centered, gendered and nationalistic tendencies of food education in countries such as Japan by stressing the interconnection of food system actors, social responsibility for family meals and an openness to diverse food cultures. However, achieving such objectives requires consciousness of the reflexive food modernity facing Taiwan and addressing operational issues, notably the strengthening of inter-ministerial collaboration and the integration of dialogue with diverse food education actors in defining educational content and professional qualifications.

台湾食品教育政策的背景与挑战:反思性食品现代性的风险还是机遇?
2022年,台湾颁布《食品与农业教育法》,正式启动食品教育政策。本文的目的是阐明该法案的社会背景以及当前促进食品教育的挑战。这些数据来自相关文献和对11名关键参与者的采访,他们代表学术界、政府、公共教育和民间社会。虽然台湾的饮食教育与日本的饮食教育政策有许多共同之处,但也有一些显著的特点。食品教育最初是对最近的食品安全丑闻、日益严重的食品焦虑、外出就餐的普遍性、食品系统的全球化和日益不稳定的反应,所有这些都是反射性食品现代性的特征。台湾的政策旨在避免日本等国食品教育中以营养为中心、性别化和民族主义的倾向,强调食品系统参与者的相互联系、家庭用餐的社会责任以及对不同食品文化的开放。然而,实现这些目标需要意识到台湾面临的反射性食品现代化,并解决操作问题,特别是加强部际合作,并整合与不同食品教育行为者在确定教育内容和专业资格方面的对话。
