China has set goals for recycling farm waste such as crop stalks and plastic film by 2020 to prevent further pollution in agricultural production and support recycling farming.
In addition, the use of pesticides is to be capped as of 2020, according to a policy document jointly released by the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Agriculture and State Forestry Administration.
Pesticides and fertilizers have done much damage to the country's ecosystem and are liable to bring food safety issues.
By 2020, China will strive to make 80 percent of plastic film used in agricultural production recycled, 85 percent of crop stalks reused, 75 percent of livestock and poultry waste processed while 80 percent of forestry waste materials utilized in other purposes.
Agriculture is of great significance in the world's most populous nation, but pollution remains one of key problems standing in the way of China's agricultural modernization drive.
