The area of organic agriculture in China has reached 2.72 million hectares.

Recently, it was learned at the Fifth China (Chengdu) Organic Agriculture Summit that the production area of organic agriculture in China has reached 2.72 million hectares.

The scale and quality of organic agriculture are improving. "the 13-year experiment at Quzhou Experimental Station of China Agricultural University shows that the organic planting model shows strong disease resistance, and the crop yield can be equal to or even exceed the conventional planting pattern." According to Li Ji, a professor at the School of Resources and Environment at China Agricultural University, the crop yield of organic planting patterns can exceed 20% of that of conventional models in recent years. "by reducing chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and through intercropping legumes and fallow, soil fertility can still be improved."

Some experts attending the meeting said that at present, the trend of branding and high-end development of agricultural products is becoming more and more obvious. Promoting the construction of modern agriculture and enhancing the global competitiveness of China's agricultural products are all new opportunities for the development of organic agriculture. However, the development of organic agriculture is also facing challenges. "the technical guarantee for the production of organic agriculture and the supply of inputs are still relatively weak. The development of organic agriculture has a long transformation and cultivation cycle, and it is necessary to improve and support the continuous promotion of the security system. " Said Liu Ping, deputy director of the China Green Food Development Center. Tang Yuanjie, secretary of the party committee and president of the Farmers' Daily, suggested that in the future, it is necessary to create a number of ecological subjects dominated by professional cooperatives and agricultural enterprises, and then form enterprise alliances across the country.
