英文摘要: | The great majority of China's farms are smallholder properties with insufficient productivity to support farmers in rural communities on their own. Agriculture on these properties is threatened by a number of forces including soil degradation, pollution of soils and chemical residues in crop plants, unsustainable water use and polluted water, and inefficient use of inputs. The UK, through programmes like Newton Network+, will invest tens of millions of pounds over the next few years helping China progress to smarter and more sustainable agricultural systems - ensuring its food security, while opening up huge opportunities for economic growth.
Firstly, this Network+ will ensure the effective coordination of these initiatives, and that the different projects link together to strengthen each other. It will do this by undertaking a wide range of networking and engagement activities to link researchers and businesses in China and the UK to ensure maximum possible knowledge sharing and new project development.
Secondly, the Network+ will support a pipeline of innovation through the funding of feasibility studies and around 35 proof of concept and feasibility projects to develop pathways to new solutions to the challenges outlined above. Finally, up to 3 of the proof of concept projects will be selected for development into full-scale projects that will result in solutions on the ground to help support economic growth and development in rural communities in China.
Finally, the Network+ will support a wide range of dissemination events to ensure that knowledge generated from STFC projects, as well as new results from across the agritech sector, is shared across the community. |
