Technological Innovation Alliance of China's selenium-rich Agricultural Industry established in Beijing

The China selenium-rich Agricultural Industry Technology Innovation Alliance, composed of 88 member units including China Agricultural University, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, was established in Beijing a few days ago.

The alliance is based on the national public welfare industry project "Research and demonstration of key Technologies of High-quality and High-efficiency selenium-enriched Agricultural products". Under the guidance of the China Association for the Promotion of Industry-University-Research Cooperation, the non-profit organization of "industry-university-research" is jointly established by domestic universities, scientific research institutes and backbone enterprises engaged in selenium-rich agriculture in line with the principle of "voluntary, equal, mutually beneficial and win-win". The establishment of innovation alliance is of great significance for promoting technological innovation and application of selenium-rich agricultural industry, promoting the healthy and rapid development of selenium-rich agricultural industry and standardizing and self-discipline of the industry.

Wu Wenliang, executive vice president of the alliance and dean of the School of Resources and Environment of China Agricultural University, said that selenium is an essential trace element for human life, and selenium deficiency will lead to Keshan disease and cardiovascular diseases. According to the survey, about 700 million people in 22 provinces in China are in selenium deficiency and low selenium ecological environment. At present, the selenium-rich industry in China is still in the initial stage, and there are some problems, such as the quality of products are intermingled, the level of standardized production is poor and so on. The alliance will jointly promote the innovation of selenium-rich agricultural concept, planning, technology, system, standard and value, and enhance the research and industrial application of selenium-rich agricultural science and technology.
