Like the Mid-Autumn season when the domestic forest was dyed and the gold was stacked, the summer flowers in Poznan, Poland, in late September did not open and the autumn leaves had been stained with red gold. On September 24, more than 140 experts, scholars and representatives from 35 universities, alliances, research institutions and enterprises from China, Poland, Serbia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Egypt and other countries and regions gathered here. Participation in the Fourth Silkroad Agricultural Education And Research Innovation Alliance, held at the University of Life Sciences in Poznan, Poland.

Poznan University of Life Sciences is an institution of higher learning founded in 1870 and the second public university in Poland in the field of agriculture.

The dense and lively trees, bright and colorful flowers, and distinctive buildings, passing through the people of different colors, add infinite charm to this Centennial University, as if a kind of soft freewill appeared in the bright sky.

The forum was hosted by the secretariat of the Silk Road Agricultural Education Science and Technology Innovation Alliance and hosted by the University of Life Sciences in Poznan, Poland. The president of Northwest A&F University, Wu Pute, Secretary-General of the Silk Road Agricultural Education Science and Technology Innovation Alliance, led a delegation to the forum. Poznan University of Life Science attached great importance to this forum. It arranged for Vice-President Prof. Krzysztof Sochkiewicz, who has close contacts with Northwest A&F University, to be responsible for the entire process.

The venue is located on the campus of Poznan University of Life Sciences. It was a summer vacation. There were not many students and it was quiet and empty. In the hall, a number of doctoral students from the University of Poznan exhibited their own scientific research products and stood side by side to introduce to guests; Some exhibition units have placed their own bilingual graphic work exhibition board, attracting delegates to stop and watch. Step out of the hall, that is, into the wide campus, looking at the low-rise campus buildings and green trees, everything seems simple and flat.

President Wu faced more than 100 Chinese and foreign experts Sincerely expressed: for thousands of years, the Silk Road traversed the Asian, European and African continents. At one end is the East Asian economic circle, which was active and had a long history of agricultural development, and at the other end is the European economic circle, which was well-developed and modern agriculture. The vast hinterland in the middle was rich in agricultural resources with huge development potential. The exchange and cooperation in the field of agriculture is the best joint point between the national interest community and the community of destiny along the Silk Road.

Together, we will make greater contribution to improving global food security and nutrition and promoting sustainable and healthy development of global agriculture.
