多方携手合作，共创可持续性农业生产模式

青岛志涛农机专业合作社位于青岛莱西市，该合作社有100多位农民社员。合作社理事长王志涛先生是当地年轻的农民带头人，致力于寻求更加可持续的农业生产方式。

莱西市为典型的北方两季种植地区，秸秆焚烧严重影响了当地空气质量和人们的健康。为解决此问题，多方携手合作在莱西市启动了秸秆综合利用试点项目。项目将改进目前的秸秆利用方式，通过农业机械综合利用秸秆，用于肥料、奶牛饲料及沼气生产原料；该项目将总结出一套全新的、绿色、可循环、可持续的秸秆综合利用模式，供中国乃至亚太其他地区借鉴。

青岛市农业机械管理局和莱西市农业机械管理局将为本试点提供政策指导, 中国农业大学的队伍将提供技术支持。该项目将在青岛志涛农机专业合作社所属农田和奶牛场进行试点，并将帮助像王志涛一样的农民，提升空气质量, 增加粮食产量, 改善农村生计, 助推乡村振兴，并为构建中国“美丽乡村”做出贡献。

ESCAP-CSAMSDGs Story: Partnership for Improved and Sustainable Farming Practices

SDG 1, SDG 2 Zero Hunger, SDG 12, SDG 13, SDG 15

The Qingdao ZhitaoAgricultural Machinery Specialized Cooperative in Laixi - a county-level cityof Qingdao City - has over 100 members from the farming community. Among themis Mr. Wang Zhitao, a young lead farmer with a passion to improve thecommunity’s farming practices.

Two crops a yearare grown in the area and burning of straw residue to clear fields for the nextcrop is a key concern for air quality and human health. A diverse group ofstakeholders has joined hands to launch a pilot project on integrated strawmanagement in Laixi to support the Zhitao Cooperative for improving currentpractices and develop a new, circular and green model of sustainable strawmanagement including use of straw as fertilizer, fodder and for green energyproduction.

The QingdaoMunicipal Agricultural Machinery Administration and the Laixi AgriculturalMachinery Bureau will provide overarching policy and programme support while ateam from China Agricultural University will provide technical guidance. TheUnited Nations’ Centre for Sustainable Agricultural Mechanization will enablepartner coordination and knowledge sharing. The pilot will be executed at thefarmland and dairy farm of the Zhitao Cooperative.

In essence, thismulti-stakeholder partnership aims to empower farmers like Mr. Wang Zhitao tosafeguard air quality, improve crop production, enhance rural livelihoods, andcontribute to the rural revitalization.
