There existed a common assumption that chemicals were the best way to attain higher yields in conventional agriculture. But these chemicals tend to accumulate in the soil and underground water, and affect the crops and, in turn, the animals and humans who digest them.
How to tackle this issue? Scientists are convinced that the answer lies in agricultural technology. They devote themselves to generating seeds with superb characteristics, which can reduce risks of pest and boost output greatly. In the meantime, more farmers have turned to organic farming. They entirely avoid the use of chemical pesticides and fertilisers so that the products have better flavour and comprise richer nutrition, for instance, essential minerals. We hope that with scientists’ intense efforts and the widespread application of agricultural technology, farmers can have more alternatives.

[2024天星原创]At 6 years old, Kendall Rae Johnson has become not only the youngest certified farmer in Georgia but also the youngest Black farmer in the state.
一
二
Kendall began her green thumb(种植技能) journey at the age of 3 while helping her
late great-grandmother Laura "Kate" Williams tend to her garden. She was attracted by
the process that once-tiny seeds grew into colorful fruits and vegetables ready to be eaten
by the family. That might be when it all started.
Kendall started out in a patio(露台) garden. By the time her fourth birthday came,
her parents built a garden in their backyard, allowing her to develop her green thumb by
planting carrots, potatoes and strawberries. Then they moved, and now she has a farm.
Kendall’s developing vegetable garden led to the start of her farming business called
aGROWKulture. And eventually she became a certified farmer in the state. However, her
journey to becoming a certified farmer was really a Gordian knot. The lengthy process
started with an application, followed by an inspection of a company’s production practices and sales, according to the Georgia Department of Agriculture. There are more
than 42,000 farms operating in the state.
一
二
Now, Kendall has become a symbol of young farmers. Last week, the city of South Fulton, where she lives, declared Sept. 28 "Kendall Rae Appreciation Day" for her work in her garden. But these achievements aren’t slowing the 6-year-old down. She also wants to teach kids where food actually comes from. She started out with a monthly gardening club, where her family help her plant vegetables, harvest and produce subscription food boxes. She hopes one day soon, more people will join her in gardening and help to support her efforts to change the way kids look at food and food insecurity.

[2023山东济南学情检测]Lam Hon-ming, director of the State Key Laboratory of
Agrobiotechnology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, is a top expert in soybean(大豆) research. Since 1998, Lam’s team has been cooperating with scientists in the Chinese mainland. In 2010, he came across Zhang Guohong, an agricultural expert from Gansu, China, at a national soybean conference. With the same major, they hit it off and decided to improve farmers’ lives and promote local agriculture.
一
二
Farmers in Gansu depend largely on the weather for their livelihood, mainly on
rainfall, which is also a cause of severe poorness in the area. In 2016, they developed
three new soybean varieties suited to salty soil and rare rainfall of Northwest China. All
received official government approval.
As the land in Northwest China is not suitable for the growth of common varieties of
soybeans, local farmers never planted soybeans, and it became a major problem for
spreading new soybeans. Lam and Zhang communicated with farmers in various ways. To
ensure farmers’ income, Lam struck a partnership with a Hong Kong food company that
will purchase all soybeans at market price when they are harvested.
一
二
By 2020, the planting area of the three approved soybeans in Gansu had gone
beyond 2.4 million square kilometers, covering 46 of the province’s 80-plus counties,
and the output had reached 7.71 million kilograms, adding about 30 million yuan to local
farmers’ income.
Zhang said that Professor Lam’s contribution has greatly pushed the poorness relief
and agricultural research in Northwest China. "It is hard to keep doing agricultural
research with less funding. And it is more difficult to travel from Hong Kong to the poor
areas to do agricultural research," he added. In the future, Lam will continue to work
with mainland scientists and lead more "Hong Kong power" to the development of the
country’s Northwest.

[2023福建福州质量检测]When Kim Ji-un lived in Seoul, she worried about
finding a good job. Now, she is worried that drought may ruin her crop. The 23-year-old
and her sister started a farm last year. Her first harvest was a success; she was surprised
that her black beans did better than her strawberries.
Ms. Kim is part of a phenomenon called kwichon, or returning to rural life. Coined
a millennium ago, the term crops up during periods of economic hardship. This time,
in the wake of the pandemic, many new farmers have never lived in the countryside
before. By planting young farmers in rural areas, the government hopes to enjoy big
rewards in the future.
一

The plan is working. In 2021 nearly 380, 000 people moved to the countryside.
"Comfort with digital technology gives young farmers a leg up," said Cho Kyung-ik,
the director of the Beginning Farmer’s Centre, an institution educating those who wish to
kwichon at its downtown offices. They sell fresh produce on Naver, South Korea’s
largest search engine.
The centre teaches techniques like how to use a tractor(拖拉机) or select the best
crops. It arranges a trial period, during which ambitious farmers work under the guidance of an old hand, learning what it means to do back-breaking labor from dawn to dusk.

The most important lesson is how to get on with the locals. The villagers are also
offered tips on how to act towards the newcomers. That part is not yet a total success. Ms.
Kim said, "My neighbors have a bad temper. The old people come in here and give me
unwanted advice, or say I will never be able to grow anything." Her black beans beg to
differ. She and the South Korean government will be hoping that her crops put the
argument to rest for good.
