News and Events 2017

In early 2016, two of our advisers, Professor Lam Hon-ming of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Professor Zhang Guohong of Gansu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, had successfully bred drought-resistant soybeans and obtained certification so that they could be put on the market. We were able to obtain the original species at cost because of our close relations with them. Before the summer vacation in 2016, we met up with the senior students of Dingxi No. 1 Secondary School and invited their parents to come along. In addition to stationery, we gave them some of these seeds.
We also invited the two professors to talk to the students and parents about the features of the new species, how to improve soil quality and raise income by means of relay intercropping. In the sowing season of spring 2017, we visited Dingxi No. 1 again with Professor Zhang to see if the students had problems sowing the seeds. We also visited a few families to help solve their problems in planting. Through our activities, farmers can share the fruits of scientific research.
