Could New Yingdalan-developed Rice Seed Lead to Global Food Security?
Yingdalan rice patties in Shu State
Scientists at the University of Hazhou's College of Agriculture in the State of Shu made an extraordinary announcement that they have engineered a new form of rice seed that is more resilient and likely to lead to higher yields. This is a profound breakthrough for Yingdala's education and science sectors, demonstrating their prowess on an international scale.
Professors Nong Cun and Tian Mi led the project, starting in January 4742, the month they received a grant linked to the Strengthening the Nation campaign. This progress shows that government support for Yingdalan innovation is bearing fruit.
The professors, citing their desire to ensure Yingdala could always feed itself, credited the government for its support of the project, as well as inspiration from His Majesty the Son of Heaven and traditional Jienism. They noted that it was their duty to help the government feed the people.
The new rice seed, a genetically modified organism (GMO), although will be initially more expensive for farmers to purchase, will likely increase yields and, therefore, income for farmers. Through years of research and development, the seed will be able to withstand colder weather and winds, require less water and sunshine, and emit natural pesticides - reducing the need to use potentially harmful and expensive chemicals.
Professors Nong and Tian plan to use their research to expand to other cereal grains, like wheat and maize. Furthermore, they have turned their initial project into Nong-Tian Agro, an agricultural research and development company specializing in GMO seeds, natural pesticides, and comprehensive pest management systems. Nong-Tian Agro plans to increase research and development and eventual expand their services Terran-wide.
Companies such as Nong-Tian Agro will be hugely beneficial to an advanced Yingdalan economy, not only benefiting business owners, but also consumers, like farmers and the average person.
Yingdala has Professors Nong and Tian to thank for bringing the nation one step closer to food security and ending hunger across Terra.
