Sustainable Agriculture Study Exchange Seminar 可持續農業研習交流會

在9月19日於香港中文大學康本國際學術園舉辦的「可持續農業研習交流會」上，我校早前參與黑龍江哈爾濱研學團的中五同學，有幸與眾多師生聚首一堂，透過聯校分享會展現他們的豐碩學習成果。

這次交流會的內容十分豐富且具啟發性。中五同學不僅分享了在哈爾濱的所見所聞，更深入探討了黑土在中國糧食安全中的關鍵角色，以及農業科技如何將「北大荒」轉變為今天的「北大倉」。他們透過精心準備的3分鐘短片匯報，以及圍繞「參加這個活動，令我有甚麼改變」為題的1分鐘即場演講，真摯地表達了對氣候應對、可持續環境及農業與社會關係的深刻反思。

這場分享會不僅是中五同學總結實踐經驗的舞台，更是中四同學啟航的燈塔。參與活動的中四同學，透過觀摩學長姊及其他12間參與學校的匯報，得以全面了解 Soyvestors（采菽社）學習計劃的核心內容與豐碩成果。活動期間，他們也參觀了走廊展覽區，欣賞並投票選出優秀的同學攝影及海報作品，從多角度認識農業科學家的不懈努力。這一切都有助中四同學更好地裝備自己，為來年參與 Soyvestors 計劃奠定堅實的基礎。

透過我校代表、其他學校的交流，以及校長與教授們的總結，學生們深刻認識到大豆的戰略意義及保護中國糧食安全的持續重要性。這次由中五向中四同學的經驗傳遞，成功打破了年級的界限，成就了珍貴的知識傳承，讓關心全球議題與科學研究的種子在校園中生生不息。

古語有云：「博學之，審問之，慎思之，明辨之，篤行之。」學習的過程不僅需要博覽群書、保持好奇，更要懷著明辨是非的心去發問與反思，最後透過實踐與分享，將知識廣泛擴展及傳播。在交流會上，完美體現了這一學習精神。

The “Sustainable Agriculture Study Exchange Seminar” was held on September 19 at the Yasumoto International Academic Park of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. On that day, our Form 5 students, who had previously participated in the Harbin study tour, had the honour of gathering with many teachers and students to showcase their fruitful learning outcomes through a joint-school sharing session.

The content of this exchange seminar was incredibly rich and inspiring. The Form 5 students not only shared what they saw and heard in Harbin, but also explored into the crucial role of black soil in China’s food security, as well as how agricultural technology transformed the “Great Northern Wilderness” into today’s “Great Northern Granary.” Through their prepared 3-minute video presentations and 1-minute speech, they sincerely expressed their thoughtful reflections on climate response, environmental sustainability, and the relationship between agriculture and society.

This sharing session served not only as a stage for Form 5 students to summarize their practical experiences but also as a guide for Form 4 students. By observing the presentations of their senior schoolmates and the other 12 participating schools, the Form 4 students gained a comprehensive understanding of the core content and fruitful results of the Soyvestors learning program. During the event, they also visited the corridor exhibition area to appreciate and vote for outstanding student photography and poster works, learning about the continuous efforts of agricultural scientists from multiple perspectives. All of this helped the Form 4 students better equip themselves, laying a solid foundation for their participation in the Soyvestors learning program for the next 2 years.

Through the exchanges among our school representatives and other schools, as well as the summaries provided by the principals and professors, the students greatly realized the strategic significance of soybeans and the ongoing importance of safeguarding China’s food security. This transfer of experience from Form 5 to Form 4 students successfully broke down grade boundaries, achieving a precious inheritance of knowledge and allowing the seeds of passion for global issues and scientific research to thrive continuously on our school campus.

As the ancient saying goes, “Study extensively, inquire thoroughly, ponder carefully, discriminate clearly, and practice earnestly.” The learning process requires not only reading widely and maintaining curiosity, but also asking questions and reflecting with a clear sense of right and wrong. Finally, through practice and sharing, knowledge can be broadly expanded and scattered. This sharing session perfectly embodied this spirit of learning.
