The hi-tech agriculture and conceptual agriculture in the World Expo Garden appeal to visitors, stimulating people s interest in understanding agriculture and exploring nature.
In the Chinese pavilion, a green rice field is surrounded by curious visitors. According to the guide, this is the newest variety of the domestic super rice, with a yield of above 600 kg per mu. Due to some constraint factors such as lighting and substrate, 30 batches of rice will be planted rotationally during the 6 months of the World Expo.
The Israeli pavilion is 1200 square meters with 3 experiencing zones. The VCR introduces all kinds of cutting-edge technologies that Israel is proud of: to extract diesel from plants and process it into aviation petroleum; the dripping irrigation technology has been introduced to 80 countries . These technologies help Israel, a country with dry desert and little rain, to produce fruit all year round, with 50,000 tons of fruit export each year. In the past 60 years, agricultural output value in Israel has increased by 12 times, while the water consumption has only risen by 3 times.
The UK pavilion excels in plants and seeds among all pavilions in the World Expo Garden.
The mushroom-like plant has long and thin lines dangling from its leaf. This is the future plant exhibited in the UK pavilion. According to the guide, in the future, this mushroom-like plant can grow on the indoor vertical wall, absorbing noises; while the plant with long and thin lines is more magical: if the criminal suspect s genes are implanted into this plant, it can deliver a warning alarm automatically as long as it detects the same genes. After these researches become mature, the magical fairytale will turn into reality.
