In Honghe County, the Government of China granted the use of 200 hectares to build an agricultural research village to train people from industry, educational institutions, and villages in best practices for environmental and financial sustainability. The Mountain Futures Initiative seeks to facilitate intercultural knowledge exchange and dialogue; improve food security by applying socially and environmentally appropriate, cost-effective management practices; and enable smart farming through the synthesis of new technologies and traditional practices. The research and training site in Honghe will thus facilitate the development of a shared global vision for mountain communities.
