Agricultural crowdfunding still doesn't fit local conditions, some projects remain unclaimed

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.

Land transfer must be advanced in an orderly way according to local conditions
The Central Rural Work Conference held at the end of 2014 pointed out that in advancing agricultural modernization, it is necessary to persist in taking safeguarding national food security as the primary task and ensure that grain is basically self-sufficient and that staple food is absolutely safe. However, at present a large number of young and middle-aged laborers in China's rural areas have flowed out, and in many rural areas no one is willing to farm the land and no one knows how to farm it. The dilemma of rural "hollowing out" has become increasingly prominent, and food security has been affected.
