China's grain imports have shown an "N-shaped" growth in recent years
Since the reform and opening up, China's grain imports have gone through stages of first growth, then decline, and then growth again, roughly showing an N-shaped trend. From 1978 to 1996, China's cereals (including wheat, rice, corn, sorghum, barley, etc., among which wheat, rice and corn are the main grains) were imported at an average of more than 10 million tons per year, with wheat being the most important imported product; in 1989, wheat imports reached 15 million tons, accounting for 1/6 of China's wheat output that year.

Agricultural science and technology films go to the countryside, farmers look forward to more
In recent years, in order to help farmer brothers shake off poverty and become prosperous as early as possible, governments at all levels have increased investment in intellectual resources, regularly organizing "science and technology caravans," "science and technology film festivals," "agricultural science think tanks" and "science popularization teams" to travel to the old revolutionary base areas, ethnic minority areas, border areas and poverty-stricken areas to carry out mobile science and technology poverty alleviation, and have achieved remarkable results.

Rural Greening Must Be Advanced Scientifically According to Local Conditions
In recent years, when carrying out village greening in rural areas, the author has found that some places blindly emphasize large landscapes and follow the "faddish" phenomenon of keeping up with cities. Moreover, some county and city leaders, when inspecting developed areas, see that certain local green plants are very unique and, without considering whether the local area is suitable for introduction, order them to be copied and replaced exactly as they are. They fail to realize that many green plants are not necessarily suitable for introduction. They spend a lot of money, yet after several years the plants still have not grown much, and some even die in large numbers due to not adapting to the soil and climate. There are also places keen on planting "hedges" and lawns, where maintenance costs are very high, and if not maintained they look very unsightly. As a result, limited by manpower and financial resources, weeds grow together with the "hedges," and the effect is not good. The author therefore calls for this: blind introduction is harmful and without benefit, and rural greening should still be adapted to local conditions.

Blueberries command a high price: why do premium fruits sell for so much

North China's groundwater overexploitation areas launch a battle for agricultural water conservation
In recent years, the groundwater overexploitation situation in North China's groundwater depression cone areas has become increasingly severe. It is necessary to make good use of rainwater and focus on water conservation, working on planting structure, drought-resistant varieties and water-saving technologies, to realize the transformation of agriculture from confrontational agriculture to adaptive agriculture, and from passive drought relief to proactive disaster avoidance
