Cao Caiyun, researcher at the Hengshui Academy of Agricultural Sciences in North China’s Hebei province and also an NPC deputy, said the local grain output has been good for 19 consecutive years, thanks to the development of green and ecological agriculture and key technologies in agricultural production.

She suggested continuation of efforts to tackle key technological challenges, enhance overall agricultural production capacity and promote high-quality agricultural development.

Only in this way can we ensure food security, she added.
