In the field of cultivation and plant protection, proper planning and boost in breeding research is needed, plants used as material for producing high-productivity and quality biofuel should be developed, new plants resistant to drought, water-logging, salinity, pest are preferentially studied, selected and disseminated.

The fields of animal husbandry and veterinary medicine require proper breeding facility management, thorough use of sunlight and natural ventilation, and limited use of incandescent lamps for lighting and heating.
