Trainees from nine countries gather in Fuzhou to discuss ways to develop Juncao technology

Trainees having different skins and speaking different languages were recently seen group around Juncao display platforms, bend over to get clearer observations or take photos with their mobile phones from time to time in the National Engineering Research Center of Juncao Technology, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University. The 2026 international seminar on Juncao technology opened on the same day, in which 20 trainees from nine countries gathered together in Fuzhou to explore the key to green development of the so-called China’s “magical grass”.

The event adopted a combination of ways, including themed lectures, on-the-spot teaching, field investigations and discussions, to help trainees to acquire in a systemic way knowledge of the application of Juncao technology across the industrial chain.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the invention of Juncao technology. This original Chinese technology invented by Lin Zhanxi, chief scientist in the National Juncao Engineering Research Center for Juncao Technology, in Fujian has been spread in 108 countries and regions. The scientific conception of “growing Juncao instead of woods” has grown into China’s solutions to global endeavor for poverty alleviation and green development.
