Socialised Agricultural Services
Why this theme matters
Addressing “who will farm the land and how,” the system connects smallholders to modern agriculture through farmland trusteeship, integrated plant protection, and drying and storage. The target is to exceed 400 million mu-instances of service by the end of the 15th Five-Year period.
