"Live green, live better". That's the theme for this year's expo. And environmental innovators are taking full advantage. Our next report looks at how top institutions in the fields of agriculture and forestry are sharing their green solutions with the public.

The three-day public holiday in China has drawn a substantial amount of visitors to the horticulture expo, long queues of eager tourists can be seen outside many pavilions. 

YANG CHENGXI BEIJING "At the China pavilion you can not only find exhibitors from different provinces but also ones from academic institutions."

ZHANG JIXIAO, PROFESSOR BEIJING FORESTRY UNIVERSITY "We are exhibiting the achievements of our university, and the 17 years of research outcomes of our National Flower Center."

Some universities are showing technologies such as germ-free cultivation, and plant hybrids grown from artificial sunlight. The idea is to transcend environmental limits - growing more with less.

ZHANG JIXIAO, PROFESSOR BEIJING FORESTRY UNIVERSITY "One of the major assignments for my students is to exhibit their projects here, to show the visitors how to combine green designs with life."

These exhibitors say they are using the platform of this expo to show the public something more than the appreciation of beauty, but also a way to make that last. YCX, CGTN, BEIJING.
