新书上海首发 用故事揭秘节水抗旱稻的研发历程

Core Viewpoint - The launch of the book "The Story of Water-Saving and Drought-Resistant Rice" highlights the significant agricultural technological advancements in China, particularly focusing on the development and impact of water-saving and drought-resistant rice [1][3][4]. Group 1: Technological Achievements - Water-saving and drought-resistant rice is a major original agricultural technology achievement in China, capable of saving 50% water and reducing methane emissions by over 90% [1][3]. - The "1522" development goal aims to increase rice planting area by 10 million acres, produce an additional 50 billion kilograms of rice, reduce water usage by 20 billion tons, and cut greenhouse gas emissions by 20 billion kilograms of CO2 equivalent [3][4]. Group 2: Environmental Impact - The cultivation of water-saving and drought-resistant rice can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, achieving over 90% reduction in methane and 97% reduction in other emissions [5]. - The new cultivation method, which includes dry direct seeding, is designed to be simple and low-cost, minimizing surface pollution and contributing to a low-carbon agricultural transformation [4][5]. Group 3: Economic Benefits - The first carbon trading transaction for planting water-saving and drought-resistant rice has been completed, estimating an additional carbon reduction revenue of 460 yuan per hectare, leading to a total annual revenue of 184 million yuan based on a promotion area of 400,000 hectares [5]. - The book serves as a bridge connecting technology and the public, showcasing the importance of water-saving and drought-resistant rice in ensuring national food security and promoting green agricultural development [6]. Group 4: Future Directions - The Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences plans to deepen collaboration with seed companies, universities, and research institutions to enhance the integration of production, learning, and research, thereby accelerating the innovation across the entire industry chain [3][4]. - The publishing group aims to continue documenting and disseminating high-quality scientific works to showcase China's technological advancements in agriculture [6].
