Plateau agriculture in Xizang is undergoing a transformative phase, heavily relying on the cultivation of highland barley. Dawa Dhondup, a member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), emphasized the region’s commitment to agricultural innovation on Thursday.
\"Our goal is to cultivate highland barley varieties that can be planted at altitudes above 3,800 meters, providing technical support for the high-quality development of plateau agriculture, and aiming to achieve harmonious coexistence between human and nature,\" Dawa Dhondup stated.
These advancements not only promise to boost crop yields in challenging terrains but also ensure sustainability and ecological balance. By focusing on resilient barley strains, Xizang is setting a benchmark for high-altitude farming practices globally.
