Academician Zhu Sihao paid a visit to Zheng Sai and jointly explored cooperation on food security

On July 9, 2025, Academician Zhu Sihao, along with experts Zhu Guanjin, Ma Xianbao, and Director Wang Shoufeng, etc., visited and conducted an exchange and dialogue with Zheng Sai Group. Zheng Sai Group's Chairman Wang Fuzhou personally received them. The two sides had in-depth discussions centered on soil and water conservation and desertification control, as well as the innovation of food crops, with the core being "technological breakthroughs and jointly safeguarding food security". They explored technical exchanges and cooperation in the field of global food security.

Chairman Wang Fuzhou focused on introducing Zheng Sai's core technical system in the fields of soil and water conservation and desertification control. Through real video and technical reports, he detailedly demonstrated the implementation results of Zheng Sai's technology in the Tengger Desert - relying on the independently developed ecological restoration technology, Zheng Sai has achieved a breakthrough in the transformation of the Tengger Desert into a "green oasis". Not only has a stable desert ecosystem been established, but various economic crops have also been successfully planted, enabling the desert area to enhance both food production and economic value.

During this period, the two innovative crops initiated by Zheng Sai captured the intense attention and profound shock of Zhu Sihao's academic team: "Year-round wheat in the desert", as a new type of seed "accidentally cultivated" by Zheng Sai's non-professional wheat research team in the ecological restoration practice, this variety can adapt to the extreme environment of the desert with its high temperature and large temperature differences, achieving full-season growth, breaking the seasonal restrictions on wheat cultivation in desert areas; the "super high-yield sesame" with a plant height close to 3 meters, has significantly increased the yield per plant compared to ordinary sesame, and the thick and sturdy roots and stems can also play a sand-fixing role, having dual values of food production and ecological protection. The team of the Beijing Center for Global Food Security was amazed by Zheng Sai's "cross-disciplinary breakthrough in crop breeding" achievements, stating outright, "A non-professional team can cultivate such high-quality crops that are suitable for extreme environments, which is a significant inspiration for global wheat production in desert areas."

During the inspection, Chairman Wang Fuzhou accompanied the team of Professor Zhu to visit Zheng Sai Roof Farm. The vibrant scene before their eyes once again refreshed Professor Zhu Sihao's perception of the technological innovation capabilities of private enterprises. Zheng Sai, relying on its independently developed core technology, has created an all-round ecological demonstration scenario on the rooftop space - not only achieving efficient utilization of the rooftop space, but also deeply integrating ecological restoration technology with the rooftop industry, ultimately constructing a rooftop ecosystem that combines high-quality landscape with a technological core.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Academician Zhu Sihao, on behalf of the team, highly praised Zheng Sai's technical capabilities: "Zheng Sai's practical work in the fields of soil and water conservation and desertification control has not only solved the problems of ecological restoration, but also creatively broke through the technical bottlenecks in grain cultivation in desert areas, providing a 'Chinese solution' for global food security, especially in arid and desert regions." At the same time, he clearly expressed his intention to cooperate: "The Beijing Center for World Food Security is willing to deepen cooperation with Zheng Sai, leveraging the resources and technical advantages of both sides, jointly exploring the large-scale path for grain production in deserts, and contributing more strength to addressing the global food shortage challenge and ensuring global food security."

This exploration and exchange not only recognized the authoritative status of Zheng Sai's ecological restoration and crop innovation technologies, but also established a cooperation bridge in the field of global food security. Zheng Sai will promote the coordinated development of ecological protection and food security through technological innovation, and help more arid and desert areas achieve the sustainable development goal of "good ecology and abundant food".
