Taiwan's tea growers let nature take back control as climate pressures mount
Reported byMongabay ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Tea farmers in Taiwan's Alishan region, where production declined 13.5% from 2014 to 2023, are switching to organic and wild-growing methods—stopping pesticide use, restoring soil health with natural cover crops, and letting nature manage pest control—to adapt to climate change and soil depletion.
Production in Alishan continues to decline overall; these are adaptive responses by individual growers, not yet a regional recovery.
