Program plants a seed of agricultural interest in urban areas
China DailyVerdant rice paddies looked all the more vibrant under the blistering summer sun. The 59-year-old farmer's expectation for the upcoming autumn was boosted by a "farmland adoption "program that is expected to bring his family more income. Launched in early June in the provincial capital Guiyang, the program invited urbanites to "adopt" a piece of farmland in Wayao village on the outskirts of the city to give them a taste of farming life, as well as food grown by themselves. As written in the adoption contracts, adopters, in the form of either individuals, families or groups, can experience farming activities, such as sowing, fertilizing, watering and harvesting the adopted field, while the "landlords "provide guidance and farming necessities, such as organic fertilizer and agricultural machinery. "We strictly follow a standardized, pollution-free way of planting to ensure the quality of our agricultural products," says Wang.
