At the end of 2023, our company Agripyramid Co., Ltd together with the ITRI team in Taiwan, they participated in the first GITEX Global & Impact in Dubai, which attracted Mr. Motaz Alsolim, Minister of Environment, Water & Agricul of Saudi Arabia specially visited the Agripyramid booth to purchase our "Pyramid mobile smart farm / The Mobile Pyramid Tree" (Image 1), which is an innovative device that aims to make it easy for every household in an arid (desert) region to plant trees and produce Pyramid Energy organic agricultural products. Our company Agripyramid Co., Ltd. It has also been invited to participate in the cooperation program for the development of local agricultural start-ups under the cooperation agreement "Sonbola Project", which was signed by the Environment, Water & Agricul of Saudi Arabia, the Agricultural Development Fund, the National Research and Development Center for Sustainable Agriculture, and the Saudi Arabian Agricultural and Livestock Investment Unit, to address the challenges of environmental sustainability, natural resources, and water and food security.

2023年底我們公司Agripyramid Co., Ltd. 與台灣工研院團隊一起參加杜拜第一屆永續展GITEX Global & Impact，吸引了沙烏地阿拉伯環境水利暨農業部部長（Ministry of Environment, Water & Agricul）Motaz Alsolim先生，特別來訪Agripyramid展位現場採購我們的「金字塔立體植栽行動智慧農場 / 行動金字塔樹 pyramid mobile smart farm / mobile pyramid tree」創新設備（圖片一），此設備的訴求是讓乾旱（沙漠）地區的家家戶戶都能輕鬆種樹，並生產「金字塔能量有機栽培農產品」。我們公司 Agripyramid Co., Ltd. 也受邀和參與由沙烏地阿拉伯環境水利暨農業部、農業發展基金、國家永續農業研究暨發展中心，及沙烏地農業暨畜牧投資單位共同簽署的合作協議「Sonbola計畫」的當地農業新創企業發展合作計畫，致力應對環境永續性、自然資源及實現水與糧食安全之挑戰。

At the exhibition in GITEX Dubai, our company Agripyramid Co., Ltd in addition to the Arab countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, the project also reaches India, which is only separated by the Arabian Sea (Image 2). At the end of 2024, our new Indian company, Agripyramid India Pvt. Ltd., will be completed in Hyderabad, a key city in India's technology, agriculture and biotechnology industries, and the first project contract of the new Indian company under a non-disclosure agreement will reach $2 billion (net profit margin of 10%), which is our company Agripyramid Co., Ltd for the new layout of the Indo-Pacific strategy, the first beachhead was successfully laid.

在杜拜GITEX的展會中，我們公司 Agripyramid Co., Ltd. 的項目合作對象除了延伸到中東地區阿拉伯國家：其中包含沙烏地阿拉伯、阿拉伯聯合大公國等，也到達僅隔了阿拉伯海的印度地區（圖片二）。在2024年底我們的新印度公司Agripyramid India Pvt. Ltd., 即將落成在印度科技、農業、生技產業重鎮的海得拉巴，而新印度公司的第一筆在保密協議中的項目合約將達到20億美金（淨利率為10%），是我們公司 Agripyramid Co., Ltd. 對於「印太戰略」新佈局成功打下的第一個灘頭堡。

2. What are the company’s strategic priorities for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025? 公司 2024 年剩餘時間和 2025 年的策略重點是什麼？

   
   

Former U.S. President Donald Trump was elected as the 47th president of the U.S. in November this year, continuing the U.S. plan to support a "Free and Open Indo-Pacific". Taiwan believes that Trump should maintain the "China+1" strategy, that is, expand investment in other countries other than China, so Taiwanese companies should also deploy the "Taiwan+1" strategy to cope with the global headquarters mentality.

今年十一月美國前總統川普當選美國第47任總統，延續美國支持「自由與開放的印太區域」的計畫，美國在印太地區尋求共同合作，而印度正是美國「印太戰略」核心，擁有特殊而關鍵的地位。台灣認為川普應該會維持「中國+1」策略，即擴大對中國以外其他國家的投資，因此台灣企業也應布局「台灣+1」策略來因應分展全球化的總部思維。

Recently, Ambassador Ge Baoxuan, the representative of the Republic of China in India, also stated, "Taiwan is India's most important partner to achieve prosperity in 2025. This year, Taiwan-India bilateral trade is expected to exceed US$8.4 billion which is creating a new record and this trend will be continue.The 3,400-kilometer undetermined border between China and India has resulted in the most special bilateral relationship between China and India in the world. Under such constraints, India is willing to cooperate with Taiwan, is very friendly to Taiwan, and looks forward to Taiwan's large-scale entry into India. So the most important thing at the moment is to hope that Taiwan and India can sign a free trade agreement, and the bilateral investment and trade agreement should also be upgraded, so that India can export industrial parts to India through Taiwan trade for local engineers to assemble, so as to develop "Made in India" and market it around the world. This is absolutely A mutually beneficial relationship can be formed in which both parties complement each other." So now is the best time for Taiwan to develop a new layout of the "Indo-Pacific Strategy".

近日中華民國駐印度代表葛葆萱大使也提出，「台灣是印度達到2025年繁榮印度最重要的合作夥伴。今年台印雙邊貿易預期會超過84億美元，再創歷史新高，而且這個趨勢還會繼續往上發展。中國與印度長達3,400公里未定的邊界，造成中印存在全世界最特殊的雙邊關係。在這樣的制約下，印度願意與台灣合作，對台灣非常友善，並且期待台灣大舉進入印度。所以目前最重要的是希望台灣跟印度能夠簽訂自由貿易協定，雙邊投資貿易協定也要升級，讓印度藉由台灣貿易出口工業零件到印度讓當地工程師組裝以發展「印度製造」行銷全球，如此絕對能夠形成兩邊相輔相成的互惠關係。」所以目前也是台灣發展「印太戰略」新佈局最好的時機。

Regarding the current relationship between Taiwan and India, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the new Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te in June this year, saying, "We look forward to closer ties between Taiwan and India in the economic and technological fields to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results." The Taiwan government also responded that it is "willing to deepen cooperation with the Modi government of India in the fields of economy, science and technology, continue to establish closer friendly relations, and will stick to the Democratic Front and actively work with like-minded countries to promote peace, stability and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region."

關於目前台灣跟印度的關係，今年六月印度總理莫迪（Narendra Modi）曾向新任職的台灣總統賴清德致賀表示，「期待台灣印度在經濟及科技領域建立更緊密關係，實現互利共贏。」台灣政府也回應「樂願與印度莫迪政府深化經濟與科技等領域的合作，持續建立更緊密的友好關係，並將堅守民主陣線，積極與理念相近國家共同促進印太區域的和平、穩定及繁榮。」

Hence our company Agripyramid Co., Ltd. for the remainder of 2024 and 2025, the strategic focus will be on the development of the "Indo-Pacific Strategy": That will integrate and apply the innovative cutting-edge technologies such as ICT, IoT, 5G, AI, IR, etc., which are Taiwan's most powerful technology industrial advantages in global to develope "Pyramid Ecological Sustainability Intelligent Agriculture Greenhouse System". Plus the black technology quantum physics nano water technology invented in Taiwan can be used as a sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural material to prevent pests and diseases, and deal with soil acidification and heavy metal pollution; and plus Taiwan's most mature and sophisticated AI and Aerospace technology of the R&D, design, manufacturing and service experience of agricultural drone, and in cooperation with the Indian government's "Drone Sisters" training programme, we will jointly develop "future agriculture" and "sustainable agriculture" to overcome the food shortage caused by the extreme climate of global warming, and the shortage of agricultural manpower and technology inheritance, and the human health needs and food security issues that the agriculture industry is facing, in order to accelerate the completion the mission and goals of the enterprise with a long way to go of our company Agripyramid Co., Ltd.

因此，我們公司 Agripyramid Co., Ltd. 在2024 年剩餘時間和 2025 年的策略重點將是發展「印太戰略」佈局：將整合應用台灣最具全球科技產業重鎮優勢的ICT、IoT、5G、AI、IR等創新前沿科技發展「金字塔生態永續智慧農業溫室系統（pyramid ecological sustainability intelligent agriculture greenhouse system）」，加上：台灣發明的黑科技量子物理奈米水技術，可以作為永續環保農業資材預防病蟲害問題、處理土壤酸化和重金屬污染的問題；並搭配台灣最成熟最精進的AI航太科技農用無人飛機之研發設計製造與服務經驗等，配合印度政府「無人機姐妹」培訓計畫，共同合作發展「未來農業（future agriculture）」與「永續農業（sustainable agriculture）」，以克服農業正面臨的全球暖化極端氣候造成的糧食短缺問題、農業人力不足和技術傳承問題、以及人類健康需求與食物安全問題，以加速完成我們公司 Agripyramid Co., Ltd. 任重而道遠的企業使命和目標。

3.  How does the company view the role of innovation and emerging technologies in its long-term success? 公司如何看待創新和新興技術對其長期成功的影響？

   
   

Our company Agripyramid Co., Ltd. is believed that innovation and emerging technologies can change the fundamental nature of the internal and external environment of enterprises, enhance competitive advantages and maintain the commanding heights of enterprises in the market, so that enterprises can achieve long-term success in an ever-changing environment.

我們公司 Agripyramid Co., Ltd. 認為「創新和新興技術」能改變企業內外部環境的基本性質，能增強競爭優勢並保持企業在市場的制高點，使企業能夠在不斷變化的環境中取得長期的成功。

Our company Agripyramid Co., Ltd is the enterprise to develop the "Pyramid Ecological Sustainability Intelligent Agriculture Greenhouse System" for the solution. We develop "future agriculture" by integrating application innovation and cutting-edge AI technology, and improve production and marketing efficiency through AI expert system and management system, and our greenhouse structure and cultivation technologies focus on high-speed ventilation and cooling, highly energy-saving and water-saving, and high economic benefits space utilization, zero carbon emissions, zero pesticide and fertilizer pollution, non-cold chain transportation of live vegetable cultivation, etc., to achieve the goals of SDGs 2 sustainable agricultural development, and SDGs 3 promote healthy lives for all age groups, and SDGs 6 improve water use efficiency, and SDGs 7 sustainable energy development, and SDGs 8 promote sustainable economic growth, and SDGs 12 reduce agricultural products loss and refrigerated transportation carbon footprint, and achieve the goal of halving food waste, and SDGs 13 take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts, and SDGs 14 reduce marine pollution, and SDGs 15 ensure the sustainability of terrestrial ecosystems and combat desertification.

我們公司 Agripyramid Co., Ltd. 是以發展「金字塔生態永續智慧農業溫室系統（pyramid ecological sustainability intelligent agriculture greenhouse system）」為解決方案的企業。我們以整合應用創新前沿人工智慧科技發展「未來農業」提高農業產銷效率，並且我們的溫室結構與栽培技術著重於高速通風降溫、高度節省能源和水資源、高經濟效益的空間利用、零碳排放、零農藥化肥污染、非冷鏈運送活體蔬菜栽培等，以實現「SDGs聯合國永續發展目標」：包含SDGs 2 發展能夠具有生態多樣性且能對抗氣候變遷的永續農業、SDGs 3 促進各年齡層健康生活、SDGs 6 保護水域生態遠離各種汙染與破壞並提升水資源使用效率、SDGs 7 永續能源發展、SDGs 8 促進永續經濟成長、SDGs 12 糧食浪費減半、SDGs 13 因應氣候變遷、SDGs 14 減少海洋污染、以及SDGs 15 確保陸地生態系統永續增加土壤有機質以及對抗沙漠化等。

Our company Agripyramid Co., Ltd. the expectation for the development of global agriculture is to use 20% of the agricultural land area to build a "Pyramid Ecological Sustainability Intelligent Agriculture Greenhouse System" to create an absolutely stable harvest for farmers, and more than 100 times of the economic and ecological environmental benefits, which in response to the climatic and ecological risks that will cause poor harvests in the open air cultivation of the other 80% of the agricultural  land area. Let farmers be willing to use "organic farming methods" that respects the ecological environment because they are free from the threat of poverty, completely subvert and replace the selfish and erroneous traditional "customary farming methods", and stop all kinds of pollution and damage caused by customary agriculture to the ecological environment, water resources, and human health in the past, so as to achieve the development goal of "sustainable agriculture".

我們公司 Agripyramid Co., Ltd. 對於發展全球農業的期許：是應用20％農地面積建設「金字塔生態永續智慧農業溫室系統（pyramid ecological sustainability intelligent agriculture greenhouse system）」，創造農民絕對穩定的收成與超過百倍的經濟和生態環境效益，來因應其他 80% 農地面積露天栽培中會造成歉收的氣候與生態環境風險。讓農民因爲脫離貧窮的威脅，而願意使用尊重生態環境的「有機農法」，全面顛覆並取代自私且錯誤的傳統「慣行農法」，停止過去農業對於生態環境、水資源、和人類健康所造成的各種污染和破壞，以達到「永續農業（sustainable agriculture）」的發展目標。

Global warming has caused chaos in the climate system in many regions, impacted ecosystems, and endangered the living environment of human beings, and agricultural production has been greatly affected by global climate change, and extreme weather has seriously affected the stability of global food production and supply. Among them, global warming will accelerate the decomposition of organic matter in the soil and increase the demand for fertilizer use, while the production of chemical fertilizers will generally be accompanied by the production of greenhouse gases, which will exacerbate the problem of climate warming. In the past, the excessive use of chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers by the "customary farming method" has caused a vicious circle of serious pollution to natural resources such as soil and water sources, resulting in salinization, acidification and poisoning of fertile land, destroying soil fertility and harming crop growth, and indirectly affecting the incidence of human cancer. In addition to the problem of food security stock, there is another problem of food safety for consumers. "Pyramid Ecological Sustainability Intelligent Agriculture Greenhouse System" belongs to the "Facility Cultivation Agriculture", which main functions and advantages are designed to protect plants from external factors such as drastic temperature changes, heavy rain, pest and disease attacks, strong winds, and to isolate pollution from neighboring fields to support the development of "organic agriculture" without the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers.

全球暖化已引起許多地區氣候系統的混亂、生態系統的衝擊、並危及人類生存環境，而農業生產受全球氣候變遷影響鉅大，極端氣候嚴重地影響了全球糧食生產與供應的穩定性。其中地球暖化將加速土壤中有機質分解而使得肥料用量需求增加，而化學肥料的生產一般會伴隨著溫室氣體的產生，更加劇氣候暖化的問題；地球氣候暖化使得病蟲害問題增多亦使農藥用量增加，過去「慣行農法」對化學農藥以及化學肥料過度使用，已經對自然資源如土壤和水源等造成嚴重污染之惡性循環，使得良田鹽鹼化、酸化、毒化等，破壞土壤肥力並傷害作物生長，且間接影響人類癌症發生機率，導致除了糧食安全存量問題之外，另一種對消費者食品安全上的問題。而「金字塔生態永續智慧農業溫室系統（pyramid ecological sustainability intelligent agriculture greenhouse system）」所屬的「設施栽培農業（facility cultivation agriculture）」最主要的功能與優點，就在於能使植物避免受到因溫度劇變、大雨、病蟲害攻擊、強風、沙塵等外在因素所產生的不良影響，隔離鄰田污染以支持不使用化學農藥和化學肥料之「有機農業（organic agriculture）」的發展。

Our company Agripyramid Co., Ltd.'s logo is based on lines of different thicknesses to present two three-dimensional dynamic pyramid-like outlines, representing the company's main development project, "Pyramid Ecological Sustainability Intelligent Agriculture Greenhouse System", which has the spirit of continuous iterative innovation. The company's brand Agripyramid has three color groups: the black color symbolizes Agripyramid's focus on supporting global sustainable development with innovative technology, and is committed to restoring the environmental ecology that has been damaged by various pollution; The white color scheme symbolizes Agripyramid's commitment to providing non-toxic, safe and organic agricultural products, as well as health and wellness services to the society.

Global action is urgently needed over the past year as the planet has been hit by increasingly severe climate impacts, from hurricanes, heatwaves, droughts to floods, and extreme weather patterns that have devastated agriculture, communities, families and livelihoods. More urgently, the first Global Stocktake, published at COP28 last year, showed that global greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by about 43% by 2030 and 60% by 2035 to meet safer climate goals, so COP29 must take real and firm action. The ultimate goal of the COP is global cooperation to combat climate change, and the main issues our company focuses on are: FOOD, AGRICULTURE, AND WATER. Climate change is creating severe pressure and risks for the agri-food and water systems that underpin human wellbeing. At the same time, these systems are also key contributors to climate change: one third of all human-made GHG emissions derive from agri-food systems, and some 70% of all fresh water consumed worldwide is used for agricultural production. Specific food and agriculture focuses include innovation investment, procurement around regenerative agriculture, and national transformation pathways, underpinned by financing mechanisms and project preparation. Water programming will also look at freshwater restoration and conservation, infrastructure for urban water resilience, and integrated governance and management of water-food systems. Our company's solution "pyramid ecological sustainability intelligent agriculture power plant" can not only support the above-mentioned FOOD, AGRICULTURE, AND WATER issues, also can deliver action in two areas: fast-tracking the energy transition and slashing emissions before 2030, and putting nature,  people, lives and livelihoods at the heart of climate action.

過去一年，地球遭受越來越嚴重的氣候影響，從颶風、熱浪、乾旱到洪災，極端天氣型態重創了農業、社區、家庭與人民生計，全球行動是迫切所需。更急迫的是，去年COP28 發表的首次全球盤點報告（Global Stocktake）顯示，要達成更安全的氣候目標，全球溫室氣體排放量到 2030 年必須減少約 43%，並在 2035 年減少 60%，因此 COP29 必須採取真實而堅定的行動。氣候變遷大會 COP 的最終目標是全球合作對抗氣候變遷，本公司關注的議題主要為：食品、農業和水。氣候變化正在給支撐人類福祉的農業食品和水系統帶來嚴重的壓力和風險。與此同時，這些系統也是氣候變化的關鍵因素：三分之一的人為溫室氣體排放來自農業食品系統，全球消耗的全部淡水中約 70% 用於農業生產。具體的糧食和農業重點包括創新投資、圍繞再生農業的採購以及以融資機制和項目準備為基礎的國家轉型路徑。水規劃還將關注淡水恢復和保護、城市水恢復力基礎設施以及水-糧食系統的綜合治理和管理。我們公司的解決方案「金字塔生態永續智慧農業發電廠（pyramid ecological sustainability intelligent agriculture power plant）」除了能夠支援上述食品、農業和水的議題提供對策，也可以提供在2030 年之前快速推進能源轉型並削減碳排放，及將自然、人類、生命和生計置於氣候行動的核心等兩個領域採取行動。

6. What is your vision for the future growth and development of Taiwan’s agricultural technology sector? 您對台灣農業科技未來成長與發展的願景是什麼？

   
   

Agriculture is one of Taiwan's major industries, which contributes to Taiwan's food security and enables the development and conservation of rural areas. About 24% of Taiwan's land is used for agriculture. Agriculture has always been the strength of Taiwan's long-term foreign aid, Taiwan's agriculture-oriented and abundant products, coupled with long-term research on various factors affecting agriculture, have achieved good results, and know that only by sharing and helping other countries with agricultural difficulties can we work together to overcome the difficulties of future food security. However, for Taiwan, which is located in a subtropical climate, it has long had serious problems such as pests and diseases, disaster damage, and cold damage due to the climatic characteristics of high temperature, humidity, multiple typhoons, and cold snaps in winter. In the past, Taiwanese people used to describe the instability of agricultural harvests and farmers' incomes by "relying on the weather for food", and this is especially true of "organic agriculture" that does not use chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Coupled with the small size of the average operating area of Taiwanese farmers, the high cost of production, and the widespread use of customary farming methods in neighboring fields, which are susceptible to pollution, Taiwan has been facing great challenges in developing "organic agriculture" for many years, and is now facing the worries of global climate change and the intensification of extreme weather. Therefore, the development of "facility cultivation agriculture" was born in response to these problems such as poor climate and working conditions.

農業是台灣的主要產業之一，它對台灣的糧食安全做出貢獻，也使農村得到發展及保育。台灣約有24% 的土地用於農業。農業一直以來是台灣長期對外援助的強項，台灣以農為本且物產豐饒，加上長期潛心研究各種影響農業的因素，得到良好的成效，並深知唯有將技術與知識，跟有農業困境的其他國家共享、共助，才能攜手共度未來糧食安全的難關。然而，對於位在亞熱帶氣候的臺灣，長久以來都因為夏季高溫、潮濕、多颱風以及冬季寒流來襲等氣候特性，有著嚴重的病蟲害、災損、寒害等問題。台灣人過去總是以「靠天吃飯」形容農業收成和農民收入的不穩定，而不使用化學農藥與化學肥料的「有機農業（organic agriculture）」更是如此。再加上台灣農戶平均經營面積規模狹小、生產成本偏高、以及鄰田普遍使用慣行農法而易受污染，以至於臺灣多年來發展「有機農業（organic agriculture）」一直面臨極大的挑戰，如今更面臨全球氣候變遷、極端氣候加劇的憂患。因此，「設施栽培農業（facility cultivation agriculture）」的發展，正是為因應此不良氣候與工作條件等問題而產生。

Taiwan's "traditional agricultural facility" industry has been developing for nearly 60 years, but it has still suffered many heavy losses due to natural disasters in recent years. In the "Five-Year Facility Agriculture Promotion Plan" proposed by the Taiwanese Government's Ministry of Agriculture (formerly the Council of Agriculture) in 2017, it was mentioned that in 2016, due to the successive attacks of Typhoons Nibert, Meranti and Meji, more than 11,000 hectares of vegetables were damaged, and 2,488 hectares of agricultural facilities were damaged. The three typhoons caused agricultural losses of up to NT$40 billion. The cause of the greenhouse disaster was concluded to be "poor structural design." In addition, Taiwan's "traditional agricultural facilities" generally suffer from problems such as excessive heat conductivity, insufficient ventilation, excessive temperature, and insufficient light transmittance, which seriously affect crop growth.

臺灣「傳統農業設施（traditional agricultural facility）」產業之發展已近60年，但連年來仍然因天災遭受許多重大損失。台灣政府農業部（前為農委會）在2017年所提出的「五年設施型農業推動方案」中曾提到，2016年因尼伯特、莫蘭蒂及梅姬颱風接續侵襲，造成逾1.1萬公頃蔬菜受損，2,488公頃農業設施損害，三個颱風造成的農業損失高達新臺幣400億元，並歸納出關於溫室災損原因是歸咎於「結構設計不良」。此外，臺灣「傳統農業設施（traditional agricultural facility）」普遍擁有熱傳導量過高、通風量不足、溫度過高、透光率不足等問題，嚴重影響作物生長狀況。

The "pyramid-type greenhouse" design concept proposed by our company, Agripyramid Co., Ltd., is a change made to solve the long-standing problems of Taiwan's agricultural greenhouse structure. From the perspective of natural disaster defense, the fact that the "Egyptian pyramids" have been able to stand proudly in the harsh desert storms for five thousand years is enough to prove their excellent ability to withstand disasters. In addition, the corrugated structure and height of the pyramid make the chimney effect inside it create an extremely ventilated greenhouse environment with excellent heat dissipation and cooling capabilities; at the same time, because the space for the pyramid structure to shrink upward is smaller than that of the general structure Nearly twice as much, resulting in lower energy consumption costs for environmental control; and because the “pyramid-type greenhouse” receives sufficient light from its four slopes, it can be combined with the “three-dimensional cultivation agriculture or vertical farming method” farming) to increase the efficiency of land use. If this highly defensive "pyramid-type greenhouse" fully enclosed structure is combined with an "intelligent controlled environment greenhouse system", it will not only be possible to integrate the Internet of Things (IoT) and giant The combination of forward-looking technologies such as big data analysis, sensor technology, and intelligent robots (IR) can further reduce the risk of equipment and crop damage caused by external intrusions, achieving precise irrigation, Exquisite cultivation, strengthening agricultural production and product sales, reducing the gap between production and sales, and establishing safe, secure and sustainable "intelligent agriculture".

而我們公司 Agripyramid Co., Ltd. 所提出的「金字塔型溫室（pyramid-type greenhouse）」設計概念，即是針對解決臺灣農業溫室結構長久以來的問題所作的改變。從天災防禦的角度來看，「埃及金字塔（Egyptian pyramids）」五千年來能夠在嚴厲的沙漠暴風塵中巋然傲立，足以證明其抗災害能力的卓越優勢。除此之外，金字塔的波型結構與高度，使得其內部所帶來的煙囪效應創造了極為通風的溫室環境，散熱降溫的能力極好；同時因為金字塔結構向上內縮的空間，小於一般結構將近兩倍，而使得環控耗能成本更低；並且「金字塔型溫室（pyramid-type greenhouse）」因為四面斜面受光充足，更能結合使用「立體栽培垂直農法（three-dimensional cultivation agriculture or vertical farming）」以增加土地使用的效率。若以此高度防禦性能之「金字塔型溫室（pyramid-type greenhouse）」全密閉式的結構，結合「智慧環控溫室系統（intelligent controlled environment greenhouse system）」，不僅能夠將物聯網（IoT）、巨量資料（big data）分析、感測（sensor）技術、智能機器裝置（intelligent robot，簡稱IR）等前瞻技術串連，更能降低因外力侵入所導致的設備與作物損毀風險，達到精準灌溉、精緻栽培，強化農業生產與產品銷售，降低產銷落差，建立安全、安心、永續的「智慧農業（intelligent agricultural）」。

Our company Agripyramid Co., Ltd., believes that by developing innovative technologies suitable for Taiwan's "intelligent controlled environment greenhouse system", we can reduce climate risks, solve Taiwan's agricultural dilemma, and find new agricultural opportunities. The "intelligent controlled environment greenhouse system" uses technology to realize agricultural changes, which is of great significance to the development of modern agriculture. It can simplify complex agricultural work, conduct precise cultivation, reduce costs, and move towards high-quality, The goal of high-efficiency and high-profit agricultural operations is to promote the "sustainability" development of Taiwan's agriculture.

我們公司 Agripyramid Co., Ltd. 認為藉由發展適合臺灣之「智慧環控溫室系統（intelligent controlled environment greenhouse system）」的創新科技，可降低氣候風險，解決臺灣的農業困境，並找到新的農業契機。「智慧環控溫室系統（intelligent controlled environment greenhouse system）」利用科技實現農業變革，對於現代農業發展有非常重要的意義，它能夠簡化繁雜的農務工作，精準栽培，降低成本，完美走向高品質、高效率、高收益的農業經營目標，並促進臺灣農業的「永續性（sustainablity）」發展。

Wang Yiting, CEO of our company Agripyramid Co., Ltd., published an academic research paper at National Taiwan University, using cost-benefit analysis (CBA) to explore: cost-revernue analysis of the financial aspects of production and marketing of agricultural facilities, agricultural facilities Engineering economic analysis of investment benefits, discounted value of time value and opportunity cost, natural disaster loss risk and replacement cost of climate change, value of environmental pollution and life and health, production increase, energy saving, water saving, etc. "circular economy" value, simulate future scenarios to predict overall social benefits, etc., There are a total of five groups of project investment plans to compare, including : "Pyramid-type intelligent agricultural controlled environment fully enclosed greenhouses", "WTG Venlo type intelligent agricultural controlled environment fully enclosed greenhouse", "VTP robust structure Mountain-type plastic sheet semi-enclosed Greenhouse", "LT horizontal mesh room", and "Open drip irrigation planting", to find out the "utility maximization" and the most suitable agricultural facility project investment and development strategy, and evaluate how to solve existing key agricultural problems in the design of agricultural facilities: including climate warming and pests and diseases, frequent agricultural disasters, poor general greenhouse structures, vicious cycles of environmental pollution, insufficient arable land, food security crises, and sustainable inheritance issues for young farmers, etc. The research results lead to the following conclusion: If the goal is to grow "King Arugula", the total net cost-effectiveness in the next thirty years, the "Pyramid-type intelligent agricultural controlled environment fully enclosed greenhouses" is worth NT$145.5 billion, and it can be invested; The "WTG Venlo type intelligent agricultural controlled environment fully enclosed greenhouse" worth NT$66.8 billion, and it can be invested; the "LT horizontal mesh room" is worth NT$1.9 billion, and it can be invested; the rest are negative, such as the "VTP robust structure Mountain-type plastic sheet semi-enclosed Greenhouse" is worth NT$-19.9 billion, and "Open drip irrigation planting" is worth NT$-3.8 billion, both of which are not suitable for investment. In addition, if we look at the overall proportion of individual cost-benefits items, the main "cost" items for most types of agricultural facilities are the replacement cost of agricultural facilities and agricultural product losses due to natural disasters, as well as the environmental costs caused by plastic pollution. Only Pyramid-type smart environmentally controlled fully enclosed greenhouses can avoid excessive natural disaster agricultural facility replacement costs and agricultural product losses or plastic environmental pollution costs; and the main "benefit" items of most agricultural facility types are total production in the next thirty years. Benefits, therefore "stability of agricultural product production" is the key to generating benefits from investment facilities.

我們公司 Agripyramid Co., Ltd. 執行長王薏婷曾在國立台灣大學發表學術研究論文，以成本效益分析法（cost-benefit analysis，簡稱CBA）探討包含：農業設施產銷財務面之成本收益分析、農業設施投資效益之工程經濟分析、時間價值與機會成本之折現價值、氣候變遷之天災損失風險與重置成本、環境污然與生命健康之價值、增產、節能、節水等「循環經濟（circular economy）」之價值、模擬未來情境預測整體社會效益等，比較：「智慧農業金字塔型環控溫室（intelligent agricultural pyramid-type controlled environment greenhouses）」、「WTG Venlo型智慧環控全密閉溫室」、「VTP力霸山型塑膠布半密閉溫室」、「LT水平網室」、與僅使用滴灌設備的「露天滴灌種植」等，共五組項目投資方案淨效益現值，找出「效益極大化（utility maximization）」之最適農業設施項目投資與發展策略，評估如何在農業設施之設計上來解決現有農業關鍵問題：包含氣候暖化與病蟲害叢生、農業災損頻繁、一般溫室結構不良、環境污染惡性循環、耕地不足食安危機、青農永續傳承問題等。經研究結果得出以下結論：若以種植「國王芝麻菜」為目標，所得出之未來三十年總成本效益淨值，金字塔型智慧環控全密閉溫室為正值新臺幣1,455億，可以投資；WTG Venlo型智慧環控全密閉溫室為正值新臺幣668億，可以投資；LT水平網室為正值新臺幣19億，可以投資；其餘均為負值，如VTP力霸山型塑膠布半密閉溫室為新臺幣-199億、與露天滴灌種植為新臺幣 -38億，均不宜投資。此外，若按照個別成本效益項目所佔整體比例來看，大部分農業設施型態的主要「成本」項目為天然災害農業設施重置成本與農產損失、以及塑膠污染所造成的環境成本，只有金字塔型智慧環控全密閉溫室可以避免過多天然災害農業設施重置成本與農產損失或塑膠污染環境成本；而大部分農業設施型態的主要「效益」項目均為未來三十年總生產效益，因此「農產品生產穩定」是投資設施產生效益之關鍵。
