Facility agriculture is promising -- Qicai Seed in the eyes of Farmers Daily
Editor's note
The supply and demand of grain in China are in a tight equilibrium state for a long time in the face of the outstanding contradiction between the shortage of arable land per capita and the utilization of cultivated land with long-term high load. With the increase of income level and the increasingly rich food consumption structure, the demand for various foods is more vigorous. How to overcome the contradiction between more people and less land and eliminate the risk of imbalance between food supply and demand? It is imperative to develop modern facility agriculture and practice the big food concept of "asking for food from rivers, lakes and seas".
