China just wrapped up a colossal three-year survey to map out its agricultural germplasm resources! 🌾🐟
From 2021 to 2023, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs conducted the Third National Survey of Crop Germplasm Resources, and guess what? Aquaculture made its debut in the survey! 🐠💧
The survey covered a whopping 2,323 agricultural counties and involved over 920,000 aquaculture households. That's massive! 😲
More than 530,000 pieces of agricultural germplasm resources were collected. Talk about gathering the goods! 🧬📊
\"We've nailed down the types, quantities, distribution, and characteristics of our agricultural resources,\" said Sun Haoqin, inspector of the Seed Management Bureau. \"This lays a solid foundation for ensuring national food security and breeding innovation.\" 🌾🔬
This epic survey is a big step in securing a stable and secure supply of grains and other important agricultural products for China. Food security FTW! 🍚💪
