In recent days, journalists have walked into the neighbourhood of the east side streets in nanjing city, jiangsu province, and there is a sweet smell of fruit in the air. In the standardized shed at the golden estate, the deputy general manager of the company, wu yingqiang, removed a red strawberry and said to reporters, “we sell it very well and have sold it to many parts of the country.”
In the huts, strawberries are filled with fields like a small lantern. The farmers were busy picking and dredging fruit, and in one move, drew a new spring view of the country filled with smoke。
How can little strawberries lead to a “sweet economy” and become “rich fruit” for rural renewal? Wu yingqiang said: “we are planting green eco-controls, from seed to harvest, in pursuit of real safety”
Journalists at the scene saw softly laid eco-fertilized soil in the fields. “we improve the soil with biofertilizers, then we kill the soil by suffocation at high temperatures, and we do not abuse the use of fertilizers, mainly by microbial microcosms that produce roots that guarantee the quality of strawberries at the root.” u young-jian introduces。
In the plantation management area, farmers are carefully removing vulnerable buds. Wu ying jian further described the company's choice to plant healthy seedlings, the introduction of integrated hydrofertilizer precision control and the early purification of water bodies. With regard to pest control, chemical pesticides have been abandoned, with the use of physical means such as yellow blue panels, solar induction lamps and biocontrol techniques such as carbs, combined with soil “femcile packs” to safeguard the growth of strawberries and to maintain the “not harmful” bottom line。
Eco-planting breeds a sweet taste, and “carbon footprint” certification makes strawberries more sustainable. “now that they have their own `low carbon identity', the carbon equivalent of a ton of strawberry production is only 1. 619 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, far below the average of the fruit industry and competitive internationally.” wu ying was proud to point to the “carbon footprint” certification on the wall。
To advance the “two carbon” goal, the company officially launched a carbon footprint certification scheme in october 2023. The teams were carefully sorted out and collected data on a case-by-case basis, from the quantity of raw materials planted, the loss of packaging, to transport distance and energy consumption, each of which was refined, and ultimately succeeded in obtaining carbon footprint certification from the first sgs fruit industry。
Today, in the community of changle, strawberries form a complete “industrial chain”. One “sweet fruit” spurs the “sweet economy” and sows the “sweet hope” of rural renewal。
The next step, according to east screen street officials, will be to actively explore new paths to industrial eco-integrated rural-urban development based on niche industries such as strawberries, fruit and maize, and peaches, to transform ecological advantages into development advantages, to give a strong impetus to rural renewal, to give more people a taste of fresh and delicious food, and to allow farmers to reap steady happiness and full hope in this “sweet business”。
