Promotion of Climate-Smart Agriculture Through the Improvement of Water Resources’ Utilization in Arid Areas of Shaanxi Province ©FAO China PROMOTION OF CLIMATE-SMART AGRICULTURE THROUGH THE IMPROVEMENT OF WATER RESOURCES’ UTILIZATION IN ARID AREAS OF SHAANXI PROVINCE April 2019 SDGs: Countries: China Project Codes: TCP/CPR/3601 FAO Contribution: USD 210 000 Duration: 1 April 2016 – 31 December 2018 Contact Info: FAO Representation in China [email protected] PROMOTION OF CLIMATE-SMART AGRICULTURE THROUGH TCP/CPR/3601 THE IMPROVEMENT OF WATER RESOURCES’ UTILIZATION IN ARID AREAS OF SHAANXI PROVINCE Implementing Partners IMPACT Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA). The introduction of integrated water-saving technologies Beneficiaries has contributed to increased yields in maize, potato and grape, leading to higher incomes for local farmers. More Smallholder fruit growers and managers; maize and specifically, maize and potato yields doubled, and grape potato growers; and public and private sector and civil yields increased by 40 percent after adopting the new society agricultural support services (e.g. research technologies. In addition, the reduced use of chemical institutes, centres of learning and extension services). fertilizers, and the introduction of ecological pest control Country Programming Framework and biodegradable plastic film ensures the safety and protection of both the environment and humans. Country Programming Framework for China (2016-2020) Priority Area 1: “Fostering sustainable and climate- ACHIEVEMENT OF RESULTS resilient agricultural development”, and Output 1.1: “Introduction and adoption of innovative approaches and The project improved the efficiency of water resources best practices in global agriculture development, such as utilization in the arid areas of the province. This was agro-ecology, nutrition-sensitive agriculture, Information achieved through the introduction of climate-smart, and Communication Technologies (ICTs), facilitated and water-saving technologies that were tailored for the three strengthened to contribute to sustainable agricultural crops (maize, potato and grape ) grown in Chunhua and development in China”. Jingbian counties of Shaanxi Province. The new technologies comprised efficient rain-harvesting irrigation technology, water-saving irrigation technology, and an integrated water and fertilizer irrigation system. The project interventions also led to improved soil fertility, water-holding capacity and moisture content. More specifically, a water-saving irrigation pipe network was installed for demonstration in 27 mu (15 mu = one hectare) of vineyards in Chunhua County. An automatic monitoring system for soil moisture and a field weather station were also installed to improve the irrigation system and promote key technologies, such as water ©FAO China storage in rain collection pits, integration of water and BACKGROUND fertilizer, and organic fertilizer substitution. As a result of the demonstration, 300 mu (20 ha) of surrounding Shaanxi Province, located in the northwestern part of grape land installed the water-saving pipe network, China, has experienced reduced rainfall in recent times, and another 200 mu (13.3 ha) of vineyards used organic seriously affecting agricultural development. Against this fertilizers to replace chemical ones. In Jingbian County, background, the current situation of arid farming in the 15 000 mu (1 000 ha) of surrounding maize and potato province was one of unsustainable use of water land completed the installation of water-saving facilities, resources, inefficient on-farm water distribution schemes and another 2 000 mu (133.3 ha) of maize and potato that were unrelated to the different cropping systems, land used organic fertilizers to replace chemical ones. and insufficient investment in irrigation infrastructure, among other things. It was therefore crucial to upgrade water management technologies and cropping management practices, in order to achieve higher efficiency of water use and improve agricultural productivity. The project aimed to reduce water losses in the province, in particular in Jiangbian and Chunhua counties, by promoting appropriate efficient on-farm water harvesting and in-field water management technologies, and improved soil fertility management practices. ©FAO China 1 PROMOTION OF CLIMATE-SMART AGRICULTURE THROUGH TCP/CPR/3601 THE IMPROVEMENT OF WATER RESOURCES’ UTILIZATION IN ARID AREAS OF SHAANXI PROVINCE By the end of the project, a total of 4 300 farmers in the SUSTAINABILITY target areas had adopted new and improved climate- 1.

For analysis, there were a total of 53 counties in the sample. The results show that in Weibei, Guanzhong and Qin-Ba regions, compared with conventional fertilization, formulated fertilization decreased nitrogen (N) fertilizer rates by 31.92%, 12.59% and 10.13% respectively, decreased phosphate (P2O5) fertilizer rates by 20.44%, 2.10% and 26.19% respectively, increased potassium (K2O) fertilizer rates by 105.98%, 193.99% and 382.58% respectively. The yields of wheat improved 330 kg ha-1, 403 kg ha-1 and 738 kg ha-1, the yield increase rates were 7.73%, 6.26% and 19.71%, the average profits increased about 906 yuan ha-1, 689 yuan ha-1 and 1423 yuan ha-1 respectively in the three regions. In addition, the average yields were higher up to 19.07%, 14.96% and 17.76% respectively when irrigation had been used than without, and it was not the most productive varieties that were the most grown in the three regions.

  • Levi MA Thesis FINAL PART 1
    Beyond the Western Pass: Emotions and Songs of Separation in Northern China Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Levi Samuel Gibbs Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2009 Thesis Committee: Mark A. Bender, Advisor Meow Hui Goh Copyright by Levi Samuel Gibbs ©2009 ABSTRACT For several centuries, men in parts of northern China, driven by poverty and frequent droughts, were forced to journey beyond the Great Wall to find means of sustenance in Inner Mongolia. Over time, a song tradition arose dealing with the separation of these men from their loved ones. This study examines how various themes and metaphorical images in the lyrics of folksongs and local opera-like performances about “going beyond the Western Pass” (zou xikou !"#) reflect aspects of folk models of danger and emotional attachment. It also looks at how the artistic expression of these folk models may have helped people to better cope with the separation involved in this difficult social phenomenon. I suggest that the articulation of these folk models in song provided a traditionally available means through which to conceptualize and deal with complex emotions. ii For my wife, Aída, who inspires me in everything I do. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many people to whom I would like to express my gratitude for their help during the process of writing this thesis. First and foremost, I want to thank my advisor, Dr. Mark Bender, for his patient guidance, insightful criticisms and suggestions, and for providing a cordial environment within which to explore new ideas.
