Ensuring a stable food supply while modernizing the agriculture sector has been a key part of ensuring Chinese livelihoods. In recent years, this pursuit has introduced advanced farming practices and cutting-edge technology. In Changsha County of Hunan Province, yields saw a 39 percent year on year increase last year.
