China's new agricultural code and the breed of new farmers

Editor's Note: As China unveils its "No.1 central document" for 2025, it outlines the priorities for further deepening rural reforms and taking solid steps in advancing all-around rural revitalization, guaranteeing grain security, preventing the re-emergence of extreme poverty and promoting smart agriculture. How is China faring on these questions? What new trends have emerged? In this edition of The Hub, Wang Guan talks to Zhao Bing, representative & country director of the World Food Program China Office, to discuss China's market-based approach to agriculture and how China's experience is being replicated in developing countries. The team also goes to the countryside to talk to China's new breed of farmers who focus on organic food, direct marketing, smart agriculture and new technology, in line with China's concept of "ecological civilization."
