March 2021 | We had the CRN Kick-Off workshop

We had the China Rice Network (CRN) kick-off on 26th March!

We envision becoming an inclusive network of rice scientists, aiming to improve the sustainability and resilience of China’s rice production systems through a strong national research network of collaborators, integrating efforts across multiple spatial scales.
