Speech Title : High quality development of soil and water conservation project

Zhongsheng Guo obtained his master's and doctor’s degree from Northwest A&F University, China in 2000 and in 2004 respectively. He is currently a professor at Northwest A&F University. I have been engaged in research on the sustainable utilization and high-quality development of water and soil resources for many years.He put forward the theory of the limit of plant resource utilization, the theory of vegetation carrying capacity, the theory of the critical period for regulating the relationship between plants and resources, and the new theory of soil and water conservation. This is the theoretical foundation for high quality development of forestry, grassland agriculture and soil and water conservation. Since June 2022, he has served as the head of the "Innovative China" Agricultural Quality Production and Industrial Service Group.
