SUMMARY
Chiachung Chen has over 20 years
consulting experience in the master plan of Integrated Agricultural
System and 30 years designing experience in agricultural facilities.
Extensive experience with mechanization and automation of crops
production, improvement of the processing equipment of biological
materials, design of the tropical and subtropical greenhouse, mass
production of vegetables and herbs, and master plan of plant
micropropagation laboratory. He has the rich experience to perform the
master plan of agricultural production in many countries.
He was previously the head of
Department of Bio-industrial Mechatronics Engineering, National Chung
Hsing University, Consult of Ministry of Science and Technology,
Executive Yuan, Taiwan and the head of Taiwan Commercial Orchid School.
Now, he served as the director of the Africa Research Center, National
Chung Hsing University and the leader of the Eswatini Sustainable
Aqua-economic Development Authority (ESASA).
In recent years, the main task is
to combine agricultural modernization, industrialization, medical
industry and education to promote the overall development of a state or
country.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Dr. Chen developed and design the
tropical and subtropical greenhouse. It can resist the impact of Typhoon
and maintain enough ventilation. The content design of greenhouse
facilities included three-types of orchid greenhouse for Phalaenopsis,
Oncidium and Catelyn orchids. He developed special Quarantine greenhouse
and Biosafety greenhouse used in high temperature weather. He design
three levels of vegetable production greenhouse for leafy vegetables,
fruits vegetables and seedlings. He extended net-house for fruit tree
production in insect-protected conditions.
The design of agricultural
facilities of his experience included master plan of the orchid
production, vegetables production sites, plant tissue culture
laboratory, mushroom production, herbs production, livestock production
and site planning, and aquaculture production and site planning.
He has adequate experience about
the development of the biomedical equipment. He has developed the
perspiration measuring system, infrared tympanic thermometers,
sphygmography and breath analyzer.
The key techniques to create the
sustainable integrated agriculture system are “the output of one system
is to be the input source of other systems” and “No waste! Less
pollution! Sustainable production”.
Comprehensive planning of the main
task is to combine agricultural modernization, industrialization,
medical industry and education to promote the overall development of the
country. This plan has its short-range, medium-range and long-range
projects, emphasizing the sequential development of economic
development, environmental protection and talent cultivation
