2014-5 -示範農場
黃土地基金和香港的農產企業「高華種子」合作,在甘肅會寧試種種子。去年的結果,差強人意。今年年初,我們資助參加計劃的農民往種子公司在張掖和酒泉的基地考察,讓他們親自從當地老百姓口中了解種子作為農產品能帶來的經濟效益。經本會與甘肅農科院的合作,今年的示範點加到五個。農戶從張掖和酒泉學到的,加上甘肅農科院的技術支援,作物生長得比預期還要茁壯。九月我們再到示範點視察。收成期快到尾聲,以現在所見,所得種子無論產量和品質都比去年好。沒參與今年計劃的農民,大都表示樂於改種種子。 The Yellow Earth Foundation and the Clover Seed Company Limited of Hong Kong have jointly carried out an experiment to grow seeds at Huining of Gansu. The result last year was passable. At the beginning of this year, we subsidised farmers who have participated in the project to visit the Clover’s bases at Zhangye and Jiuquan so that they can hear from local people the economic benefits brought about by growing seeds . Through collaboration with the Gansu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, we have increased the number of demonstration points to five this year. With the knowledge learnt from Zhangye and Jiuquan, plus the technical support from Gansu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the farmers have managed to grow stronger crops than expected. When we visit the demonstration points again in September, the harvest is coming to an end. From what we see, the seeds are better than last year’s in both quantity and quality. Farmers who have not joined this year’s project indicate that they are eager to join next year.
