About Golden Fig & Sustainable Agriculture
关于菓得菲和合理农业
For 5 years, Golden Fig owner Patrick Chu has been devoted to his 12-hectare farm, located in Baiyun. He follows an environmentally friendly approach, also known as “sustainable agriculture”: Patrick does not use any pesticides or harmful chemicals for our planet. Organic waste is reused in compost or mulch.
五年来,位于广州白云区,农场主朱先生把全部精力都用在了他12公顷的农场上。他遵循着尊敬自然环境的理念,同时也叫 “合理农业”: 在他的土地上,不会使用农药,也会避免有害物质。有机垃圾会被重新使用变成化肥或者覆盖地面的褥草。
He grows a wide range of fruits and vegetables including figs (seedlings imported from Turkey and the United States), rice, cucumbers, eggplants, broccoli, maize, squash, green vegetables, etc.
他种植的水果蔬菜种类非常丰富,其中包括品种来自土耳其与美国的无花果,大米,黄瓜,茄子,花椰菜,玉米,节瓜,以及绿色蔬菜等等。
Patrick also breeds hens, which are fed with organic figs. The butterflies and the bees are a good sign of a farm free of pesticides and chemical agents harmful to the environment.
朱先生也养殖鸡, 用种植的无花果来喂养鸡。蝴蝶和蜜蜂的存在标志着对环境有害的杀虫剂和药剂的消失
