暨南國際大學校長武東星致詞時強調：「綠領人才是國家發展的關鍵，而跨域整合與地方實踐更是永續轉型的核心動能。本校設立的『智慧暨永續農業學士學位學程』，正是積極呼應這股綠色浪潮，致力培育兼具科技力、創新力與人文關懷的新世代人才。」
論壇主持人、暨大智慧暨永續農業學士學位學程副教授蔡培慧則指出：「綠色轉型本質是一場人才革命。如果缺乏具備跨域能力的綠領人才，再多的政策與技術都將難以落實。」她鼓勵青年必須掌握綠色職能與數位工具，才能為永續產業注入強勁新動能。
In his opening remarks, President Wu Tung-Hsing of National Chi Nan International University emphasized, “Green-collar talent is essential to national development, while cross-disciplinary integration and local implementation are the driving forces behind the transition to sustainability. The establishment of our Bachelor’s Degree Program in Smart and Sustainable Agriculture is a proactive response to this growing green movement. The program is dedicated to nurturing a new generation of talent equipped with technological expertise, innovative capabilities, and a strong sense of social responsibility and humanistic care.”
Associate Professor Tsai Pei-Hui of NCNU’s Bachelor’s Degree Program in Smart and Sustainable Agriculture, who also served as the forum moderator, noted, “The green transition is fundamentally a revolution in human capital. Without green-collar professionals equipped with cross-disciplinary competencies, even the most extensive policies and advanced technologies will be difficult to put into practice.” She encouraged young people to develop green skills and master digital tools in order to inject fresh and powerful momentum into sustainable industries.
