While increasing attention is paid to consumer food safety and ecological conservation, eco-agriculture has become a critical topic in the policy for promoting sustainable development goals. Understanding the process of transitioning from conventional to organic rice cultivation facilitates the promotion of eco-agriculture. This study did so by examining Yuanli Township in Miaoli County, Taiwan. Specifically, interviews were conducted with various local stakeholders to elucidate the network of collaboration in eco-agriculture, the content of collaboration, and the degree of support for relevant tasks. The research results showed that local contract-farming merchants controlled the price of organic rice produced by farmers and local agricultural production and marketing groups. The initial cost of establishing one's own brand remained high. Therefore, price was the most critical factor determining whether a farmer engaged in eco-agriculture. This study also discovered that to date, the Yuanli area lacks endogenous momentum for collaboration, resulting in patchy collaboration among local stakeholders. Eco-agricultural development is unsustainable if it relies only on exogenous actors, such as government agencies. We suggest for local multiple stakeholders to begin with a conceptual shift and establish an neo-endogenous collaborative model with a clear set of actors and a focus on policy promotion. Subsequently, these stakeholders should establish a platform for external collaboration to obtain resource such as technology and human resources and promote ecological compensation measures, thereby developing diversified sales channels.

隨著消費者食安及生態保育的觀念抬頭，生態農業已成為政策推動永續發展目標的重要課題，而瞭解慣行轉有機稻作的過程實有利於推動生態農業。本研究以苗栗縣苑裡鎮為例，透過多元權益關係人訪談來瞭解推動生態農業時之生產協力網絡、協力項目，以及支持度。研究發現，地方契作商掌控產銷班與契作農戶的有機稻米價格，加上自創品牌的初期成本高，因此價格是影響農友願意從事生態農業的最重要因素。本研究亦發現，目前苑裡地區內生協力動能不足，導致在地多元權益關係人的協力拼湊，若生態農業發展的過程中僅依賴公部門等的外生介入則難以持續。建議地方多元權益關係人應從觀念開始，建立新內生協力模式來釐清政策推動的行動者與著力點，其次才是建立協力平台，結合外來合作以獲得技術、人力及生態給付等資源挹注，創造多元化的銷售通路。
