咖啡渣成蔬果「放大劑」!臺大攜手Nespresso拓展有機農業新里程

 

 

 

臺大近年來多與各企業發展產學研究計畫,全球咖啡龍頭Nespresso也是其中之一。自2019年開始,Nespresso就開始與臺大進行咖啡渣全物利用的研究,今年邁入合作第三年,不僅公布研究成果,短短三個月內更有近十家農場加入咖啡渣有機肥料的使用,期待能更深化與在地農民的連結。

與Nespresso的產學合作計畫主要由臺大生農學院園藝暨景觀學系負責,於3月21日公布咖啡渣全物利用產學研究計畫成果。臺大生農學院院長表示,咖啡渣不僅具完整養分比例,在經發酵腐熟後,施於作物上更有助於提高土地所需的微生物多樣性。園藝暨景觀學系林淑怡副教授在精密溫室培育以咖啡渣為肥料的作物,發現以咖啡渣堆肥或於葉面噴灑咖啡渣浸出液,對作物的生長及驅蟲抑菌等效果有顯著效益,如空心菜提升105%鮮重,金柑果樹減少53%潛葉蛾危害。這些常見的消費蔬菜種類果樹等的生長,在利用咖啡渣後都有極佳的生長態勢,台灣有機農業發展在產、學界合作下又有新的成長。

2016年起Nespresso與桃園實驗有機農場首度合作,提供回收咖啡渣作為有機肥料,並將臺大園藝系的研究成果進行田間試驗。多年的試驗與調整,得到一套極具價值的有機農業經營模式。在去年12月開始開展「咖啡渣循環使用推廣計畫」,透過定期教育訓練工作坊,將其經驗分享給更多台灣在地農民。今年已有十間農場加入計畫,今年目標拓展十五間農場,期待有更多農友加入永續行列。

Coffee grounds made vegetable grow bigger and bigger! NTU released the research achievement with Nespresso 

 

 

 

National Taiwan University has launched many academia and industry collaborations with several enterprise. Nespresso has started Research of Whole Coffee Grounds Utilization since 2019 with NTU. Step in the third year of collaboration, not only research achievement had issued, but also had ten farms in Taiwan joined this project to contribute to sustainable agriculture.

 

 

 

Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture is in charge of the academia and industry collaborations with Nespresso. The Dean of college of Biosources and Agriculture said, coffee grounds have both integral nutrient , and can make good effect on plants after spreading fermenting grounds. For instance, Prof. Shu- I Lin ferterlized water spinachs and citrus trees with coffee grounds, and found those plants gained more about 105% weight and reduced 53% leafminer harm. The collaboration of NTU and Nespresso made organic agriculture in Taiwan evolve steadily.   

 

 

Nespresso coorperates with Taoyuan experiment organic farm to use recycle coffee ground on plants since 2016. After testing and adjusting for several years, NTU acquired a priceless organic agriculture manage pattern. And Nespresso has shared these experience with more local farmers by helding workshops from last December. There are ten farms in this plan now, NTU and Nespresso are looking forward to extend about 15 farms to join sustainable agriculture this year.
