Taiwan is a country struggling with national food insecurity issues due to limited natural resources, a large population, a small farm operation system, the impact of the openness of global trade for agricultural products, and conflicts between government policy and the agricultural industry. Currently, the food self-sufficiency rate has dropped to 33% weighted by calories in Taiwan with almost 70% of the food coming from imports which could lead to severe national security issues if the imported sources were shut down suddenly. As a result, problem-solving strategies are needed to alleviate the import-reliance situation in Taiwan to ensure national food security.

520 $a Taiwan is a country struggling with national food insecurity issues due to limited natural resources, a large population, a small farm operation system, the impact of the openness of global trade for agricultural products, and conflicts between government policy and the agricultural industry. Currently, the food self-sufficiency rate has dropped to 33% weighted by calories in Taiwan with almost 70% of the food coming from imports which could lead to severe national security issues if the imported sources were shut down suddenly. As a result, problem-solving strategies are needed to alleviate the import-reliance situation in Taiwan to ensure national food security.
520 $a The purpose of this study was to examine the Taiwanese general public's knowledge, awareness, and experiences with food insecurity issues; attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intention associated with locally grown food; and to predict purchasing intention of locally grown food based on these indicated food insecurity and locally grown food related factors. An online survey was used to collect data from the general public living in the Northern Region of Taiwan. The instrument was researcher-developed to measure the respondents' opinions of food insecurity and locally grown food. Descriptive, correlational, and multiple linear regression analysis were used to examine how locally grown food purchasing intention of Taiwanese general public can be predicted and influenced by their knowledge, awareness, and experiences with food insecurity issues; and attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control related to locally grown food purchases.
520 $a The findings of this study indicated the respondents perceived they are not at all or slightly knowledgeable, received fair awareness scores, and had certain experiences with food insecurity issues in Taiwan. Moreover, they reported positive attitudes toward locally grown food, high perceived importance of agriculture, high support from important individuals to purchase locally grown food and great behavioral control over purchasing locally grown food. Knowledge, awareness, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and selected demographic characteristics were revealed as significant predictors of locally grown food purchase intention. The implications and recommendations of this study shed light on efforts Taiwan Extension should take regarding food insecurity issues and the local food movement.
