She utilizes fish-vegetable symbiosis and earthworm processing of agricultural waste to promote wetland biodiversity, reducing the cost of fertilizers and pest control. She also introduces fish co-existence, avoiding the use of pesticides. She also uses the eggs of water apple snails to make organic liquid fertilizer, achieving resource recycling.With the assistance of the Dream-Building Plan and cooperation with Chiayi City Community College, Ye Xiaoli hosts beauty-leg food and agriculture education sharing activities, allowing participants to experience the process from planting to the table.
