Recently, a team led by Professor Weifeng Zhang and Peng Ning from the College of Resources and Environmental Sciences at China Agricultural University proposed a sustainable production pathway to achieve an annual yield of 22.5 t·ha^–1 in the winter wheat-summer maize rotation system on the North China Plain, providing a scientific reference for solving this problem. The related paper has been published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2025618).

Xusheng Meng and colleagues from Nanjing Agricultural University proposed a green, high-yield, and high-efficiency rice technology system in a review study, providing a solution to this problem. The related paper has been published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2025636).

Recently, a research team led by Professor Zhaohui Wang from the College of Natural Resources and Environment at Northwest A&F University proposed a technical framework for green wheat production and a regionally adapted model, providing ideas to solve this problem. The related paper has been published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2025606).

In a new paper in the journal Science, researchers propose policies that would reward farmers for adopting “climate-smart” practices when growing biofuel crops and remove the hurdles that currently thwart such efforts. This could aid efforts to decarbonize agricultural as a whole, the scientists say.
