On june 22nd, china's new net stunned western fupin (journalist chen yusei) in the transit zone between the guanchong plain and the north plateau, a piece of tomato forest is growing. There are large and very sweet tomatoes, and the “rich tomatoes” produced here are sold both inside and outside the sea because of their soft taste. In addition to being uniquely geographically suitable for the cultivation of tomatoes, local soil and water conservation is being strengthened in a comprehensive manner, leaving “water for the rich”, allowing the tomatoes to grow more abundant and farmers' lives to become more and more popular。
“we've been getting better and better in the last few years, and we've been doing a lot of work on tomatoes. It was only 2 or 3 kilos of land, and now it's 6 or 7 or 8 kilos.” young chaochuan, 55-year-old, who was a farmer in yang's village in fuping county, fuping county, shuxi province, recalled to the chinese news reporter that in the past it had been difficult to see green in his home town due to low vegetation cover, with wild mountains, heavy wind and sand, and that the earth would be washed away from one rain hill, leaving behind a “ditch”. Since 2012, fuping county has concentrated on the development of the tomato industry and the overall management of the environment, planting grass in the mountains, changing the slopes to ladders, water-cultivating, and the family's tomato industry is also growing。
“for more than a decade, the days have grown richer, and now it's a good time for my family to have a net profit of nearly $180,000 a year.” yang chaokawa laughed。
Fuping county is situated in the transit zone of the guanchong plain and the shaan north plateau, at altitudes ranging from 380 to 1,400 metres. Soil erosion is mainly hydro- and gravitational, with soil erosion mainly in the northern mountains。
In the south of the bridge hill in fuping county, the area of the western village of the mountain is managed in an integrated manner. Journalists observed that the mountains are surrounded by semi-round white forest panels, with “fish piling pits” that guard tree seedlings and roots. On the mountains, large areas of pine and stingling are planted under the leadership of the government to preserve soil and water, and at the foot of the mountains is a piece of the tomato forest planted by local farmers。

The deputy director of water and land conservation and migration centre in touping county, ishiki, informed journalists that fuping county promotes integrated management of small basins and the construction of ecological barriers in the direction of water and vegetation conservation. Depending on the soil erosion in the mountains, a variety of governance measures have been put in place in different areas on the slopes of the hills and in the valleys of the trenches. For example, the slopes range from 5 to 15 degrees, with good water fattening conditions, closer to the village, and the development of machine-level terraces for crop cultivation, orchard construction and, at the slope range of 15 to 35 degrees, with the construction of horizontal steps and fish pits, the planting of economic forests, and the use of tectonic forests, which are used to support soil and water。
For more than 10 years, fuping county has built more than 450,000 acres of standard terraces, 129,000 acres of water-guarded forests, 45,000 acres of economic forests, 300,000 acres of protected land, 240,000 acres of closed land and effective control of soil erosion in the northern mountains. With further improvements in the ecological environment, the boom has attracted more young people to start their own businesses。
Born in 1987, joe binbin, who resigned in 2012 from his 100,000-year-old job start-up in a major city, now has multiple identities, not only as secretary of the yang jiamura party, but also as a representative heir to the intangible cultural heritage of the tomato sphinx and head of the electronic commerce company of xinxi farmers. As the first young people to return to the village of yang's home to start their own business, jobinbing's business has established a strong interest-linking mechanism with the village's collective economy through the “internet+company+cooperative+farmers” model, which has resulted in a record of 4. 5 million yuan a day, leading to collective economic development in 11 villages。

Jobinbin told journalists that, after soil and water management, the economy had improved, with an acre of income of only $12,000, which now amounts to 20,000, or about 10 times more. With the expansion of the tomato industry, more than 200 young people have returned to the country in the last two years to join the tomato industry, while further incubating the industry, with radiation driving more villagers to become rich together。
By the end of 2023, 360,000 acres of tomatoes were being developed in fuping county, 280,000 tons of tomatoes per year and 70,000 tons of processed tomatoes, supporting the transformation of more than 30 new business owners into food enterprises, raising the total value of the entire industrial chain value of the tomato industry totalling 6. 5 billion yuan. By turning nature's water into “water for the rich”, the “small” tomatoes actually drive the “big” industry. (concluded)
