Xu Junming has been planting grapes and loquats in Taichung's Xinshe Township for more than 40 years. In years past he sprayed his crops with pesticides annually anywhere from 15 times at the low end to more than 20 times, and long-term exposure has had negative consequences for his health. Six years ago he was diagnosed with liver cancer. After undergoing successful surgery he vowed never again to use pesticides.
