Associate Prof. He Ke from the College of Economics and Management gave a report on the value of carbon reduction in planting and breeding circular agriculture. According to him, the planting and breeding mode, advantageous than single planting, facilitating reduction in carbon emissions and increase in carbon sink, is essential in achieving the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. At present, it is urgent to establish a mechanism that brings out the value of carbon reduction by implementing planting and breeding circular agriculture in order to share the cost and the benefit.
