Over 600 exhibitors from 70+ countries and regions converged in Beijing for the Third China International Supply Chain Expo, spotlighting Green Agriculture as a key theme. With climate change and food security challenges on the rise, experts say China-Africa collaboration could redefine sustainable farming. 🌍✨
China’s Green Revolution
Professor Zhou Yuguang of China Agricultural University highlights China’s decade-long push to turn agricultural waste into biofuels and eco-materials. Rural revitalization projects now integrate water management and recycling systems, but Zhou stresses that ‘community buy-in and policy design’ are just as crucial as tech. 💡
Africa’s Climate-Smart Solutions
Dr. Kojo Ahiakpa points to Africa’s innovation in green farming but notes infrastructure gaps. His roadmap? Boost cold chains, expand digital tools for farmers, and create regional eco-certification systems. ‘Green finance for women and youth is key,’ he adds. 🌾
Tech Transfer & Trade
Both experts agree: South-South cooperation is vital. China’s renewable tech, shared via UN programs, could help African farmers tap into carbon markets and organic certification. Meanwhile, China’s growing demand for eco-friendly products opens doors for African producers. 🤝
What’s Next?
From joint research hubs to carbon trading partnerships, the future of China-Africa green agriculture looks ripe with opportunity. As Zhou says, ‘This isn’t just about crops—it’s about building resilient communities.’ 🌱🚜
