Resumen
Descripción
Hainan Province is a major source of winter-vegetables supply to northern China, producing about 4.5 million tonnes annually. Intensive farming has led to excessive use of water, fertilizers and pesticides, and environmental hazards such as soil degradation have jeopardized sustainability of production, making farmers vulnerable to economic loss and distress. The project aimed to support Hainan’s vegetable growers in maintaining sustainability by incorporating advanced green technology from abroad into local production systems, and by building capacity of farmers and other stakeholders in the dissemination of this technology through training workshops and on-site demonstrations.
