Conserving Biodiversity in Traditional Agricultural Systems in China.
In the past few years, my focus has been on exploring the role of traditional agricultural systems in biodiversity conservation. I have actively worked on various research projects in Globally Important Agricultural Heritage systems in China, including the Rice-fish coculture systems in Qingtian, Zhejiang, Dong's rice-fish-duck coculture systems in Congjiang, Guizhou, and the Kauijishan Ancient Chinese Torreya Community in Zhuji, Zhejiang.
Collecting rice landrace samples from the barn for genetic analysis.
Intervewing farmers on rice cultivars and farming pratices.
Rice-fish-duck coculture system practiced by Dong people in Congjiang, Guizhou.
