Situated in the Tao Yuan district near Taipei, Taiwan, this pilot project will unfold across one hectare of rice fields, showcasing biodiversity positive and regenerative farming methods (as followed).

By integrating productive forest habitats into farming landscapes, it aims to enhance biodiversity while ensuring economic productivity—a delicate balance essential for long-term viability. Additionally, by adopting regenerative farming approaches, benefits in soil and water health (along gains in biodiversity performance) can be achieved in agriculturally productive land, fortifying the ecosystem's resilience and richness.

The study area is mostly agricultural land that is primarily used as rice paddy. Small areas of project area have been converted to developed area or domestic gardens. Irrigation channels run through and around the agricultural land, with water supplied by public water collection ponds.

Revitalise abandoned farmland through agroforestry practices, integrating native fruit trees with multifunctional habitats. Larger parcel of agricultural land will undergo sustainable management to be eco-friendlier and more attractive to wildlife. Irrigation channels will be enhanced using gabion walls instead of concrete linings, improving ecological connectivity and habitat value while retaining essential hydraulic performance.

Based on our methodology, from baseline to projection, all metrics show positive change: Biodiversity Unit +64.1% (3.09 → 5.07), Water Unit +7.3% (50 → 53.66), Soil Unit +30.9% (5.86 → 7.67), Air Pollutant Removal Potential from 0.0015 to 0.0989 kg/yr (over 64-fold increase), and Carbon Sequestration +53.2% (102.7 → 157.3 tonnes). These improvements collectively point to a significant enhancement of natural capital.
