Improvement of autonomous region's soil enables growing farming activity The Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region has been transformed from having terrain dominated by desert into being a "granary on the frontier", officials said, citing efforts to improve saline-alkali soil and increase high-standard farmland to bolster national food security.
