1 Center for Resources, Environment and Food Security (CREFS) China Agricultural University

2 1. Background Chinese agriculture underwent astonishing development over the past three decades at high resource and environmental costs. Resource inefficiency, ecological and environmental pressure, and relatively low production capacity have restrained continuous agricultural development, and threatened food security and environmental sustainability in China. It is imperative to transform the current agricultural developmental model, maintain a steady increase in food production, meanwhile substantially improve resource use efficiency and protect ecological environment. Scientists at China Agricultural University (CAU) have performed systematic research and pilot demonstration regarding agricultural resource utilization, ecological environment protection, and high crop yield. Many projects not only impose significant impact on international community, but also extensively promote agricultural development in China. To date, multi-disciplinary collaboration has become an increasingly important strategy worldwide for ensuring food security and protecting environment. Lancaster University in UK founded the largest Environment Center in Europe covering earth science, life sciences, resource utilization, ecological and environmental sciences, and so forth. In 2011, Lancaster University, CAU, and more than 10 other domestic and overseas partners initiated the International Food Security Alliance. University of Nebraska also established a special sector to promote sustainable agriculture development. To better lead national research in agricultural resource utilization, food security, and ecological environment protection, strengthen interdisciplinary innovation, and promote global strategic collaboration, the Center for Resources, Environment and Food Security (CREFS), CAU, was established in Objectives CREFS is devoted to agricultural science and technology innovation and development of domestic and international strategic collaboration. Its long term goal is to implement top-level research programs, explore novel solutions to agricultural problems and challenges, and pave the way for intensive sustainable agriculture in China. The center also aims to nurture smallholder-based modern agricultural developmental model, establish global food security research alliance, and provide strategic support for global food and environment security, 3. Organization and personnel Director: Prof. Fusuo Zhang Deputy Director: Prof. Rongfeng Jiang Prof. Xinping Chen Prof. Jianbo Shen 4. Scientific and technological innovation and demonstration CREFS integrates research, innovation, and demonstration: 1) tackles challenging agricultural problems using worldwide cutting-edge theories and techniques, and finds out problem-solving 1

3 strategies or technical solutions; 2) builds up a nationwide demonstration network to facilitate technology extension, and substantially advances high yield and high efficiency agriculture in China. Four scientific and technological innovation and demonstration bases The research center is based on four major scientific and technological innovation and demonstration bases from North China to South China: 1) the Quzhou base in Hebei province represents a smallholder farming system; 2) the Lishu base in Jilin is a medium-scale maize production system; 3) the Jiansanjiang base in Heilongjiang is a large-scale rice farming system; 4) the Xuwen base in Guangdong is featured by tropical high value cash crops. These bases well represent different developmental stages and scales of agricultural production in China (Fig. 1). Jiansanjiang lishu Quzhou Xuwen Fig.1 Four major bases for scientific and technological innovation and demonstration The national collaboration network CREFS established a nationwide nutrient management network with financial support from the Ministry of Agriculture (Fig. 2) and is dedicated to promote R&D, efficient nutrient management, and large-scale soil testing and fertilizer recommendation via close collaboration with major fertilizer corporations (Fig. 3). 2
