Description
Modern farms and agricultural operations in China work far differently than those a few decades ago. This is primarily due to advances in technology, wide-spread urbanisation and continued international cooperation.
AgriGarden is a leading Chinese company working in city farming, industrial and urban agriculture. AgriGarden offers a whole supply chain service from master planning, to construction and project operations. The company’s main focus is on setting up China’s state invested agricultural demo parks that typically consist of large, high-tech greenhouses.
Alongside this, AgriGarden has also set up Leaf In, an innovative city farming themed restaurant to educate consumers on Agri-tech trends.
On February 1, 2018, Chinese National Agriculture Science & Technology demo-park (which is operated by AgriGarden) was visited by Prime Minister Theresa May.
It aimed to foster Sino-British cooperation in agri-tech.
We welcome you on China’s Arbor Day (12 March), a holiday where individuals are encouraged to plant trees, to come join this agri-tech seminar to learn about:
– The development and growth of the agriculture technology
– The Urban Agricultural projects and Farming Models that are shaping China’s cities
