Ministry proposes modern facilities and guidelines for planting, husbandry, fishery, and logistics
China is planning to take further action to develop modern facility agriculture, as part of efforts to diversify the food supply, an official told a press conference on Friday.
Zeng Yande, an official with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said modern facilities and guidelines have been issued for industries such as planting, husbandry, fishery, and logistics.
“Scientific and technological innovation should be utilized to tackle crucial and prominent problems which restrict the development of modern facility agriculture. Efforts will be made to renovate old facilities to improve production efficiency and increase modern facilities such as solar greenhouses, plant factories and marine ranches” added Zeng.
Zeng suggested fiscal and financial support be provided to develop facility agriculture, and market vitality should also be enhanced.
