Idle land utilized to create family farms

Qingzhen city in Guiyang, Southwest China's Guizhou province, encouraged the use of idle land to build more family farms by creating special agricultural brands, forming large-scale, centralized and modern agricultural operation models, and developing edible fungi, herbs, and other special growing sectors.

Existing family farms in the city will be awarded. The government allocates 200,000 yuan ($27,860) in funds every year to family farms that are recognized for the first time as national and provincial demonstration family farms. So far, a total of 10 million yuan in funds have been given to such farms.

The government also helps local farmers form "company + family farm" agricultural consortiums with all kinds of talent. So far, 1,006 family farms have been set up, creating more than 8,000 jobs.
