Chongqing Wanzhou District Launches Pilot Project to Promote Green Cultivation and Livestock Circular Agriculture

The Wanzhou District of Chongqing Municipality has initiated a pilot project to promote green cultivation and livestock circular agriculture, aiming to address bottlenecks in the cultivation and livestock cycle, and encourage the transformation of "manure" into "manure fertilizer." To achieve this goal, the district is selecting social service entities to undertake the collection, processing, transportation, and application of manure to fields. The pilot project is expected to improve resource utilization of livestock and poultry manure and promote scientific and rational application of fertilizers.
