Why a Shared-Value Partnership, Not a Data Purchase
The outcomes are yours
The data records the change your procurement, volunteer days and farm adoption actually produced. Quarterly reports are issued in your company's name, and Deep-Root members and above also receive drafted report sections. Selvans records and verifies — it does not sell you someone else's outcome.
Buying Power filing support
Selvans is registered in Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs social innovation database, so procurement from us qualifies for Buying Power awards — and we help you complete the paperwork.
Boundaries stated up front
Every figure is marked as self-declared, document-backed or third-party identified, and comes with a full statement of what Selvans cannot yet support. Every partnership includes a contract, an ethical sourcing declaration and a social impact assessment — an auditable figure earns its value from clear boundaries, not from being large.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Selvans Social Farm?
Selvans Social Farm (registered as Selvans Social Agriculture Development Enterprise) is a social farming platform founded in 2022 in Daxi District, Taoyuan, Taiwan. Selvans connects farms run by social-welfare organisations to grow herbs together, building a complete supply chain from cultivation through processing to sale. People with disabilities and those in mental-health recovery gain work and income on the farms, while every corporate purchase is converted into auditable ESG data.
What is a social farm, and how does it differ from an agritourism or organic farm?
Social farming combines agricultural production with social care: alongside growing crops, the farm delivers therapeutic, rehabilitative, educational and employment functions. Compared with agritourism, the core output of a social farm is employment and recovery for disadvantaged groups. Compared with organic farming, the difference is not the cultivation method but who works in the field — and how that work is recorded as disclosable social impact data.
Where is Selvans Social Farm located?
Selvans Social Farm is based in Daxi District, Taoyuan, Taiwan, while its partner social-welfare organisation farms are distributed across the country. Corporate visits, volunteer days and family days are usually held at the Daxi farm; adoption programmes can be assigned to a specific partner farm.
How large is Selvans? How many people take part?
Current public figures: People from disadvantaged backgrounds working in herb cultivation 179people; Social-welfare organisation farms in the supply chain 8farms; Participants in sustained, long-term engagement 70%; Annual herb production 2,000kg. These come from systematic weekly reporting by partner farms, confirmed week by week by social workers and published on the Selvans sustainability dashboard, where companies can cite them directly.
