What's Happening?
Chimelong Group, a prominent safari and theme park operator in China, organized a rice harvest event in Yuantan township, Qingyuan, Guangdong province. The event aimed to showcase the benefits of repurposing animal manure into organic fertilizer. Participants,
including children and their parents, engaged in harvesting activities at an agricultural base that utilizes a complete ecological cycle from animal waste to organic fertilizer. The initiative highlights the use of technology to convert rare animal manure into organic fertilizer, reducing pesticide use and enhancing rice quality. Smart agriculture technologies, such as drone seeding and intelligent management, have increased early rice yields by approximately 30% compared to traditional farming practices.
Why It's Important?
The program underscores the importance of sustainable agricultural practices and the potential for organic fertilizers to improve crop yields and quality. By reducing reliance on chemical pesticides, the initiative contributes to environmental conservation and promotes healthier food production. The use of smart agriculture technologies further demonstrates the potential for innovation in farming, offering a model for other regions to enhance productivity and sustainability. This approach not only benefits local farmers but also supports broader efforts to address food security and environmental challenges.
