Growing green: Finding balance in China's fields
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
“China’s Green Code: Rewriting the Rules of Growth” is a four-part special series exploring China’s drive toward greener development across energy, industry, agriculture, and everyday life.
In this episode, we travel to Anqiu in eastern China—one of the country’s leading vegetable-producing regions, to see how farming is being reimagined.
We visit farms where agricultural waste becomes a valuable resource (1’55”). We meet growers embracing new technology to produce more with fewer inputs (12’15”). And we hear from young graduates who have traded city life for the countryside in search of new opportunities (23’35”). Together, their stories reveal how the future of farming may depend not only on new technologies, but on a new generation of people willing to rethink the land itself.
