Mohammad Anas Khan, a doctoral student majoring in soil and water conservation in our school, an international student from Pakistan, came toBeijing Forestry University(BFU)with a great interest in agriculture,experiencingthe academic atmosphere ofBFUand rapid developmentofChinese agriculture and forestry. Recently, he was interviewed by the short video column ofChina Daily"China Surprised Me", revealing his feelings.
In theinterview, he said that he had been in China for four years and obtained a master's degree from China Agricultural University. He found that economies like China and Pakistan are very much affected bytheagricultural development. Therefore, both the Chinese government and the Communist Party of China put agricultural development as a top priority. In Pakistan, however, agricultural development has received relatively little attention., andChina is also moreadvancedthan Pakistan in the application of modern technologyand new modelin agriculture development.
However, the development of agriculture has not restricted China's ecological protection. In the past three decades, China has made great achievements in soil and water conservation. A series of high-efficiency environmental protection projects have been carried out to ensurethe protection ofecological environment while developing agriculture. For example, the soil erosion area of the Loess Plateau in the Yellow River Basin has decreased from 450,000 square kilometers to 234,200 square kilometers, and thedecrease of 50%isan amazing achievement.
In the future, he plans to further study China's economymodelinagricultural development, ecological protection as well assoil and water conservation after obtaining a doctorate degree. Hehopes to apply the knowledge learned in Chinain the development ofhis country, andexpects more amazingfreshtechnologies from China.
