Yuan Long ping is a leading figure in the rice-growing world, born and brought up in China. He is famous for his great achievements in agriculture and is well-known as “the Father of Hybrid Rice”.
When he was a boy, he was educated in many schools, and was given the nickname “the student who asks questions.” He was interested in plants from an early age, and he studied agriculture in college. As a young teacher, he began experiments in crop breeding. He thought there was only one way to have more rice quickly. That was to cross different species of rice plant.Then he began his search for a special type of rice plant. It had to be male and sterile.After many years’ hard work, he produced a new plant by crossing different species of rice plant, which could give a higher yield than either of the original plants in 1970, which was a breakthrough. As a result, China’s rice production rose by 47.5% in the 1990’s. And 50 thousand square kilometers of rice fields were converted to growing vegetables and other cash crops.
