　  From 23rd to 25th, October, the achievement  exhibition of Decennial Development of Green Super Rice of the crucial  program namely Green Super Rice’s new breeding in modern agricultural  technology of 863 project was held in HZAU. More than 150 principals,  core instructors, invited experts from the Ministry of Science and  Technology, the Ministry of Agriculture and project expert group  attended this meeting.

　  In 24th, October, delegates headed for ratoon rice field in  San Hu farm in Jiang Ling county for a field investigation. On the  afternoon of 25th, October, the meeting of Decennial Development of  Green Super Rice was convened in HZAU. Wei Qinfang, section chief of  rural areas department of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Sun  Junli, vice-section chief of scientific education department of the  Ministry of Education, and president Deng Xiuxing delivered the  welcoming speech.　　 Professor Yu Sibin, the project executive expert  presided over the academic report process. The academic report of  Theory, development and results of green super rice was delivered by  academician Zhang Qifa. The report namely International cooperation  project progress was made by research Li Zhikang. The report of  cultivation and application of water-saving rices was made by researcher  Luo Lijun. Professor Peng Shaobing made an academic speech of research  and outlook of harvesting with machine of ratoon rice. The academic  report namely green trend of Chinese rice development was made by  research Fang Fuping. More than 10 foreign experts including professor  Rod Wing from American Arizona university were fully involved in field  demonstration and report meeting. Professor Rod Wing from American  Arizona university highly praised the achievements and functions of  green super rice in reality and insisted that developing the green crop  should be the necessary trend of solving global food and environment  issues.

　  This year of 2017 is the decennial elapse of publishing the  paper namely Strategies of Cultivating Green Super Rice. This meeting  aims to summarize serial system research and vital breakthrough results  made by domestic and foreign scientists on green super rice with the  purpose of implementing series vital policy deployment of green  development required by the Central Committee of the C.P.C, actively  putting crop healthy development to speed up the implementation and  application which are suitable for green super rice for a more bigger  contribution of the sustainable development of our agriculture.

　   [Background] The green super rice is a new concept of rice  breeding and concept which is put forward originally by our scientists  for the tense condition of food security and resource environment. The  concept has a requirement for the species with pest-resistance,  water-savig and drought-resistance, stress resistance, high nutrition,  high yield and optimal quality. Meanwhile, the production mode of high  yield, high productive, environmental security is also valued. The green  super rice is devoted to realizing the goal of less pesticide, less  fertilizer, water-saving and drought-resistance, optimal quality and  high yield of the crops and the goal has also became the direction of  green crop development.

　  In 2001, the special project of Joining in Global Rice  Molecular Breeding Research Plan was launched and the green super rice  mindset had been initially formed. In 2005, the concept of green super  rice and the aim of less pesticide, less fertilizer, water-saving and  drought-resistance, optimal quality and high yield was put forward. In  2007, the paper of strategies of green super rice cultivation was issued  in American Scientific Academic College. In 2009, the international  project of cultivating green super rice for poverty-stricken areas in  African and Asian was launched. In 2010, the national 863 project of  green super rice program was initiated. In 2014, the national 863  project of green super rice program gained sustainable fund.
