Dear Dr. Yuan,
Born in a farmer’s family in Sixi, I find this unit really useful. Now Dr. Yuan has been my idol, because we share the same wish to end hunger in the world. I am now considering spreading agricultural knowledge in my hometown .
In my hometown, farmers would prefer to gain greater harvest by enlarging the area of fields . What’s worse, they focus on using lots of chemical fertilizers, which will of course cause environmental damage.
Much to my pity , they seems to be pleased with their farming. How can I persuade them to farm in new ways? Can you help me?
Yours sincerely,
Chen Xiangting
