In the grand blueprint for village ecological development, international cooperation acts like a strong east wind, bringing unprecedented opportunities and vitality to this land. Lin Yue deeply understands that countries around the world have unique explorations and valuable experiences in the field of ecology. Through international cooperation, the village can draw on global wisdom, accelerate its own ecological development process, and shine with unique charm on a broader stage.
By chance, Lin Yue learned that an international eco-development symposium would be held in a model environmental town in Europe. This town was world-renowned for its advanced ecological agricultural technology, well-developed ecotourism system, and deeply rooted environmental education. Lin Yue realized this was an excellent opportunity for learning and exchange, so she actively made preparations and led a delegation from her village on a trip abroad.
When they arrived at the European town, they were immediately struck by the sight before them. In the town's farmland, various advanced agricultural facilities were neatly arranged. Inside the intelligent greenhouses, precise climate control systems automatically adjusted temperature, humidity, and light according to the different growth needs of various crops. According to local agricultural experts, these intelligent greenhouses shortened the crop growth cycle by about 20%, increased yields by more than 30%, and significantly reduced water waste and pesticide use. In terms of ecotourism, the town has created an eco-tourism trail that runs through the entire town, allowing visitors to enjoy pastoral scenery, ancient castle ruins, and various rare plants and animals. Moreover, the design of the tourist route fully considers ecological protection; visitor activities are strictly limited to specific areas to avoid damage to the ecological environment. In addition, the town's schools and communities carry out a variety of environmental education activities, with active participation from kindergarten children to elderly people. Through environmental-themed painting competitions, handicraft activities, and science lectures, they deeply instill ecological and environmental protection concepts in everyone's hearts.
Lin Yue and village representatives actively interacted with experts and scholars from various countries at the seminar. They discussed the development prospects of organic agriculture with an agricultural technology team from Germany. The German team shared their advanced technologies and successful experiences in soil improvement and biological pest control. For example, they used a special microbial agent to improve soil structure and fertility. This agent can decompose harmful substances in the soil, increase the number of beneficial microorganisms, and make the soil looser and more aerated, which is conducive to the growth of crop roots. In terms of biological control, they used insect pheromones to trap pests, reducing the use of chemical pesticides while protecting the ecological balance of farmland. Lin Yue carefully recorded this valuable information and introduced them to the ecological wisdom contained in the village's traditional farming culture, such as using intercropping and relay cropping to improve land utilization and ecosystem stability, which aroused great interest from the German team.
During exchanges with Japanese ecotourism experts, village representatives learned how to deeply integrate traditional culture with ecotourism. The Japanese experts used their local hot spring culture as an example, explaining how they combine hot spring resources with natural landscapes and folk culture to create unique ecotourism products. While enjoying the hot springs, visitors can also participate in traditional tea ceremonies, waka poetry composition, and other cultural activities, deeply experiencing the charm of traditional Japanese culture. The village representatives were greatly inspired. They considered their village's ancient folk festivals and traditional handicrafts, and envisioned using Japan's experience to develop ecotourism projects with local characteristics, such as holding folk culture exhibitions and handicraft workshops during traditional festivals, allowing visitors to better appreciate the village's cultural heritage.
Through communications with representatives of international organizations, Lin Yue learned a great deal about global ecological development trends and international cooperation projects. One international environmental organization was promoting a global eco-community development project, aiming to achieve resource recycling, energy self-sufficiency, and sustainable ecological development through the joint participation of community residents. Lin Yue realized that the village could actively participate in this project, and thus discussed the possibility of cooperation in depth with the organization's representatives. The organization's representatives recognized the village's ecological development potential and offered some preliminary suggestions for cooperation, such as helping the village introduce advanced renewable energy technologies, such as solar and wind power generation equipment, establishing an eco-friendly waste sorting and treatment system, and improving resource recycling rates.
Upon returning to China, Lin Yue quickly organized the villagers to share the gains from this international exchange and began formulating an international cooperation plan. In the agricultural sector, the village reached a cooperation agreement with a German agricultural technology company to introduce their soil improvement technology and biological control products. Initially, the villagers were skeptical about this new product when it came to introducing soil-improving microbial agents. After all, they were accustomed to traditional fertilization and soil management methods. Lin Yue invited German experts to the village to conduct on-site demonstrations and explanations. The experts applied the microbial agent to a test field and compared it with adjacent untreated fields. After a period of observation, the villagers were pleasantly surprised to find that the soil in the field treated with the microbial agent became more fertile, and the crops grew significantly better than in the control field. In terms of biological control, the village introduced insect pheromone traps, placing them in the fields. Initially, some villagers worried that these traps would affect crop growth, but after actual observation, they found that they effectively reduced the number of pests without causing any negative impact on the crops. Statistics show that in the first planting season after using biological control products, pesticide use decreased by about 50%, and crop yields not only did not decrease but actually increased slightly.
