Global Collaboration Takes Center Stage
Yu Jianlong, Vice Chairman of the China Chamber of International Commerce, emphasized the need for shared solutions: \"The world needs unified action to strengthen agricultural systems.\" Jordan’s Ambassador to China, Hussam Al Husseini, echoed this, praising China-Jordan cooperation since their 2015 strategic partnership. 🤝
Smart Farming & Sustainability Wins
China’s push for greener agriculture was highlighted in a new report: the country modernized 505 irrigation districts and built 102 organic farming bases by 2022. Zhang Zhongjun from the FAO noted China’s role in sharing tech and sustainable practices globally. 🌾
