XI'AN, April 15 (Xinhua) -- In recent years, Northwest A&F University has established a number of farms with teachers and students stationed to provide agricultural technology support in Shaanxi Province. The farming industries include poultry breeding, wheat, vegetable, and fruit cultivation.
Through this new farming mode, many agricultural researchers and technicians work alongside farmers at the frontline of farming, which is conducive to the transformation of research findings into practical applications. More than 80,000 farmer households have benefited from this mode, driving rural vitalization in the province.
