| In May 2017, the Innovative Integration and Demonstration of Green and Efficient Agricultural Technology in Danjiangkou Water Conservation Area, belonging to the Cooperative Innovation Project of Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation Program of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, was officially launched. This project is led by the Agro-Environmental Protection Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and carried out by the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Regional Planning, the Institute of Plant Protection, the Institute of Vegetables and Flowers, the Feed Research Institute, the Tea Research Institute, the Institute of Bast Fiber Crops, the Zhengzhou Fruit Research Institute, the Nanjing Institute of Agricultural Mechanization of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the Biogas Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. There are 14 Innovation teams from these institutes. Meanwhile, local experts from the Shiyan Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Hubei Province and the Ankang Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Shaanxi Province, participate in the project. The aim of the cooperative project is to tackle problems in green and efficient agricultural production, planting and breeding coupling, ecological cycling, non-point source pollution control, and multi-functional rural ecosystem construction, etc. In accordance with the ideas of single technology standardization, composite technology integration and systematic technology systematization, the cooperative project innovatively integrates 10 key technologies referring to the utilization of biodiversity, adjustment of agricultural planting structure, green and efficient production of main agricultural products in the whole industrial chain, new pattern of planting and breeding cycle, high effective ecological facility agriculture, and rural domestic pollutant control in Danjiangkou. Thus we summarize and form a comprehensive technical solution for green and efficient agriculture in water conservation area, which can provide copied and extended experience, demonstration model for other similar areas. The achievements will provide effective scientific and technological support to ensure water quality safety of South-to-North Water Diversion, promote green development of agriculture, increase farmers'' income, and poverty alleviation in water conservation area. |
