3.Mr.Fang isnow theowner of56greenhouses producingorganic vegetablesin the Gobi desertin NorthwestChinas Gansu province.He isoneofthe beneficiariesofthe Gobi Farming Program ofGansuprovincethat isbuildingrows ofgreenhouses in the deserttohelptransform localfarming andalleviate poverty.Grain productionin Gansuis greatlyaffected bythe climateandtheoutput isunstable.Agricultural productionthere reliesheavily onrivers,oases andgroundwater irrigation.If traditionalextensiveagricultural productioncontinued,it couldgradually narrowthe livingspace.In1995,a localentrepreneur venturedto useIsraeli technologiesto buildgreenhouses forvegetablesgrowing inthe desert.Such individualpilot projectsencouraged theGansu governmentto launchaprovincial-level Gobi farming programin2017withatarget tobuild up a controlled-environment agricultureof about20,000hectares by
2022.Some citiesintheprovince,which includeFang svillage,have alreadybeenexperimenting withGobi farmingfor severalyears.Despite theharsh environment,farming inthe Gobidesert hasits advantages:the extendedamount ofsunlightprovides adequateenergy forcrops,a significanttemperature differencebetween dayand nighthelps cropsaccumulatenutrients andthe Gobis hotand dryair meansfewer pestsand cropdiseases.The Gobigreenhousespopping upin Gansuuse dripand sprayirrigation,which cancut waterconsumption byalmost50percent comparedtoa normalfarm.The greenhousesare alsoeco-friendly,as theyuse substratesfor soillesscultivation recycledfromrotten leaves,straw andcow andsheep feces.With thegreenhouses,Fang earnsaround70,000yuan annually.Data fromSuzhou,district ofJiuquan showedthegreenhouse programhas helpedbring anaverage revenueofabout$72,500per hectareto localfarmers.Largescale greenhousefarming isan investment-intensive projectand cannotbe sustainedonly bygovernment financialsupport.Therefore,the localgovernment hasbeen encouragingvillagers such as Fangto takethe lead to rentgreenhousesor buildtheir own.It isnot aneasy task,and manyvillagers stillwant towait andsee.However,more andmore arestartingto joinin,either torun their own greenhousesor workas hiredworkers forgreenhouse owners.Starting frommanagingfourgreenhousesin2009,Fang nowis alsoapartnerofagreenhousefarmingcooperativerunning120greenhouses.The relativelylow costof large-scale landuse intheGobidesert havealso encouragedlarge firmstostart theirGobi farmingpilot projectsin Gansu.If theGobifarmingproves successful,it couldprovideexperiences forcountries inCentral Asialinked withGansu bothbytheancient SilkRoad aswell asits modernversionoftheBelt and Road Initiative.
