From the fields of Tanzania to farms across Africa, modern agricultural technologies are transforming the way food is produced. China’s locally adapted agricultural innovations are playing a significant role in this agricultural revolution, helping strengthen food security and improve nutrition for millions.
Simple technologies are leading to big harvests. In Tanzania, farmers are using China’s adapted farming methods to increase their yields. Innovations like hybrid rice, drones for crop monitoring, and the cultivation of juncao—a type of grass used for growing edible fungi—are changing the agricultural landscape.
Over the past five years, China has made significant strides in modernizing its agricultural science and technology. This has not only reshaped its own rural landscape but also provides valuable lessons for other developing countries striving to enhance their food security and rural development.
China’s agricultural advancements are built on three core pillars. First, ensuring food security by protecting arable land and promoting high-standard farmland construction. Second, driving modernization through technological innovation and rural reforms that remove barriers between urban and rural areas. Third, advancing rural revitalization in harmony with green transformation, promoting sustainable and eco-friendly farming practices.
China is actively sharing its agricultural development approaches with other countries through various partnerships. Engaging in agricultural cooperation with over 140 countries, China helps improve agricultural value chains, strengthens food security foundations, and shares experiences in agricultural modernization.
Despite challenges like climate change and supply chain disruptions, China’s commitment to modernizing agricultural science and technology continues. By deepening agricultural cooperation under initiatives like the Belt and Road, China aims to help partner countries tackle challenges and build a sustainable future together.
Through these efforts, China contributes to creating a more inclusive and resilient global food system, working alongside other nations to promote agricultural investment, transfer green technologies, and ultimately build a community with a shared future.
