The first post-doctoral scientific research team has started working here.
"Strong industries are fundamental to rural revitalization and wealth of rural people," said Sun Qixin, president of China Agricultural University, expressing his wishes for the workstation.
The workstation should not only strive to update theories, but explore practices and form a reproductive mode for reference in Yunnan and beyond, Sun added.
On the same day, Sun also led a research team to investigate Yanta village. And he gave applause to the efforts of the village on boosting development.
Bi Shaogang, mayor of Anning, said that the establishment of the post-doctoral workstation will further expand cooperation between Anning and China Agricultural University and promote the high-quality development of rural areas in the city.
