China nurtures agri-tech as global warming ravages land

Climate change is increasing concerns about food security in China and accelerating the rush to develop agricultural production technology. Story by Chris Gill and Mark McCord
The Chinese will have to seriously consider redistributing the increase in rainfall in the southern part of the country to the parched north western region. They can synchronize the pumping of dammed water in the southern region just before the rainy season to higher level reservoirs in the dry western region from where it can then flow by gravity to deserts or aquifers under the deserts. In this way the flood water can be saved and diverted to reclaim desert land for food crops.
