/ Chaowen/Guangzhou, August 02, 2022 -- In this era of rapid change, what is the original intention? What is persistence? Is to leave the land empty for five years before farming, just to raise a piece of land in peace; Is in the heat of the field between the manual weeding and insect removal, only for a mouthful of natural precipitation of delicious; They insist on picking organic crops from their own farms to feed cows, so that every cow can enjoy the happiness brought by natural delicious food. From land cultivation to crop cultivation to dairy farming, Asahi Vipshop has adhered to the spirit of "reverence for nature and cyclic symbiosis" and insisted on circular farming for decades. They believe that only by reverence for the natural cycle can they cultivate peaceful, healthy and delicious crops and provide people with organic, healthy and happy life.
Following nature often means facing more of its rigors. July is harvest time for Asahi Vipshop's organic milk corn, but this year's corn crop has been a struggle.
< b>< p>< p> "Our corn is amazing. It has a lot of water, it bursts when you bite it, it's eaten raw when you take it out of the refrigerator, it's as sweet as watermelon, it tastes great, and it's going to be ready soon in June or July." In interviews at the beginning of the year, farm workers looked at the newly sown corn with pride and hope, but this year they were not prepared for the difficulties.
Last year, one mu of corn could be harvested more than 2600, this year, one mu of corn can be harvested more than 200, the yield is far less than 10 percent of last year. But the more than 200 corn is very competitive, all grow full grain, milk rich. Behind all this is a difficult corn "adventure".
Corn sown in February is not ready for harvest until June or July. The whole cycle spans winter, spring and summer, during which the growth of corn faces the harsh test of nature. However, the weather is not good, low temperature, high temperature, wind, one after another disasters make the heart of the Asahi Vipin farmers always tense. In the low temperature period of February, in order to make the seeds of organic milk corn germinate and emerge normally, the team of Asahi Vipin used arched ceiling and plastic film to keep warm in the greenhouse of growing seedlings, and even took measures such as heating by electric hotline. After the cold winter, the high temperature in summer led to the outbreak of aphids in corn fields. Farm workers chose to artificially cut off plants and leaves with aphids under the scorching sun. As soon as the team put down their nervous heart, a sudden strong wind caught people by surprise. Corn plants, which survived two previous rounds of disasters, are now falling over in large areas. Farm staff can only suppress the heart of helplessness and regret, two people in a group, one upright, one soil, try their best to save the remaining corn.
"We do the best we can. We grow corn by hand, in the most clumsy way, and that is the only way to make our milk corn sweeter and more delicious." Said Zhang Ruifeng of Asahi Vipin Farm. Despite all the difficulties, the team of Asahi Vipshop still chooses to adhere to the planting method of circular farming, follow their own ideas, treat every crop with reverence, and use natural precipitation to give vegetables and fruits the most natural taste.
Adhere to the original intention: "Circular farming" redefines modern farming
Each fragrant and plump corn is not only a powerful witness of farmers' hard work, but also represents Asahi Vippin's unremitting insistence on "circular farming, natural delicious food". At Asahi Vipshop's organic farm, countless vegetables like organic milk corn grow under the careful care of farmers. Whether it is golden corn field, or green vegetables, every inch of land in the farm is full of vitality, every crop is full of farmers' intentions. When it comes to farming, Asahi Vipshop has never cut corners.
Back in the early days when Asahi Vipshop was established, the situation of domestic agriculture was not optimistic. Some farms adopted quick planting methods and pursued production efficiency, but forgot that crop planting has always been a matter of patient cultivation. At that time, Asahi Vipin had realized the importance of following nature and chose to slow down its pace, hoping to create natural, delicious and secure crops for the Chinese people through circular farming mode. But at the beginning of the brand, there was not much domestic experience to learn from, so the Asahi Vipshop team introduced Japan's mature circular farming production model and "localized" it according to the actual situation. Finally, after 10 years, Asahi Vipshop has created a "circular agricultural model" suitable for Chinese land, and become a member of the practice of "circular farming" in China.Cultivate soil before planting. Asahi Vipin adheres to the traditional natural farming spirit, learning the principles and principles of farming while "educating people", so as to grow healthy and secure agricultural products. In 2003, Asahi Vipshop found a piece of land suitable for green agriculture in Laiyang, Shandong province. However, when the soil was tested, it was found that the soil was not up to the standard. The erosion of chemical fertilizers and pesticides over the years had degraded the soil. Asahi Vipin immediately decided to cultivate the soil before planting. Over the next five years, Asahi Vippin abandoned the 1, 500-acre plot, turning it into a wasteland of wild weeds without fertilizer or crops. The goal, in fact, is to return the soil to its natural fertility, free of synthetic pesticides. After laying a solid foundation, Asahi Vipin people took root in this land and practiced the circular ecological agriculture model of "fertilizer - field - crop - cattle". They grow organic vegetables, some of which become organic by-products and are sold in the market, while others become fodder for cows, which are then fermented from cow manure into organic fertilizer to fertilize the soil. The model of circular farming and the efforts of the Asahi Vipin people have endowed the soil with sufficient nutrition and rich ecology. On this soil, the crops follow the natural growth cycle. Without chemical intervention, the vegetables and fruits grown naturally can fully absorb the natural nutrients, thus achieving a safe and delicious food. Zhang Lei, the manager of Asahi Vipshop, once talked about her first experience on a farm, and one detail left a deep impression on her. When following the farm leader to visit the vegetable field, the field leader pulled several chrysanthemum chrysanthemum chrysanthemum from the side to Zhang Lei to eat, he is also used to chewing in his mouth. At that time, Zhang Lei was very surprised, just picked vegetables, do not need to wash can eat? The head of the field confidently said: "We have no pesticides and fertilizers, at most is a little soil, soil or organic soil, raised for more than 10 years, insects are artificial or biological treatment, no problems, directly eat completely no problem!" Zhang Lei was deeply moved by his love for land and confidence in crops, which also made Vipin Asahi adhere to the belief of circular farming.
< /p>In the pursuit of efficiency and output, the most precious aspect of Asahi Vipshop is its commitment to circular farming. Since 2003, Asahi Vipin's farms have been raising crops in accordance with the laws of nature, allowing life to return to its original way of growth. Reverence for the cycle of nature and gradual slow production may be the most stupid way in the world, but if such persistence can bring natural, safe and delicious agricultural products to consumers, and also contribute to the promotion of ecological sound development, then, no matter how difficult the road, everything will be worth it for Asahi Vipshop.
