education at Southwest Agricultural College in Chongqing.After graduating in 1953,he worked as a researcher.Yuan Longping realised that larger fields were not the solution.Instead,farmers needed to boost yields in the fields they had.How this could be done was a challenging question at the time.After graduating in 1953,he worked as a researcher.Yuan Longping realised that larger fields were not

creation of hybrid rice.A hybrid is a cross between two or more varieties of a species.One characteristic of hybrids is that they usually attain a higher yield than conventional crops.Yuan was

greatly.Today,it is estimated that about 60 percent of domestic rice consumption in China is comprised of crops generated from Yuans hybrid strains,and his strains have allowed Chinas farmers to produce around 200 million tons of rice per year.Today,it is estimated that about 60 percent of domestic rice consumption in China is comprised of crops generated from Yuans hybrid strains,and his strains have allowed Chinas farmers to produce around 200 million tons of rice per year.Given that Yuans hybrids have made him quite wealthy,one might think he would retire to a life of leisure.However,this is far from the case.Deep down,Yuan is still very much a farmer at heart.As a man of the soil,he cares little for celebrity or money.Instead,he makes large donations to support agricultural research.As a man of the soil,he cares little for celebrity or money.Instead,he makes large donations to support agricultural research.What impresses people most about Yuan Longping is his ongoing ability to fulfill his dreams.Long ago,he envisioned rice plants as tall as sorghum,with each ear of rice as big as a broom,and each grain of rice as huge as a peanut.What impresses people most about Yuan Longping is his ongoing ability to fulfill his dreams.Long ago,he envisioned rice plants as tall as sorghum,with each ear of rice as big as a broom,and each grain of rice as huge as a peanut.He succeeded in producing a kind of rice that could feed more people at home and abroad.His latest vision for“seawater rice”has also become a reality,and potentially opened up nearly one million square kilometres of salty land in China for rice production.He succeeded in producing a kind of rice that could feed more people at home and abroad.His latest vision for“seawater rice”has
