On October 23, although it was the time of frost, Guizhou ushered in the best sunny day in recent days, and more than ten pairs of parent-child families took advantage of this good time to come to Maochang Village, Pingba District, Anshun City to experience the science popularization experience activity of "I am a little breeder".
Hold hands in a circle, and the parent-child time is fun. Buckwheat granules are held in your hand, and natural knowledge is remembered in your mind. Under the leadership of "Dr. Liang Chenggang", the children learned the basic knowledge of buckwheat, including its growing environment, development process, as well as the content of buckwheat food and buckwheat deep processing products.
With the help of their parents, the children personally participated in the making of buckwheat cakes, and the hard work of mixing with water in the flour was a real compliment! Eating buckwheat cake with the fruits of your own labor, the aroma is needless to say.
After lunch, "Dr. Grain" led the children to start the straw hat painting show. After completion, the children put on their own colorful straw hats and started the most joyful buckwheat cutting experience of the day.
Liang Chenggang, ph.D. and associate professor of the Institute of Genetics and Breeding of Guizhou Normal University, said that the parent-child agricultural experience activity is to encourage more parent-child families to go out of the city, into the countryside and the wilderness, and to let children actively learn popular science knowledge in play through zero-distance contact with nature. In recent years, the Institute of Genetics and Breeding of Guizhou Normal University has carried out many similar science popularization activities or agricultural experiences close to nature, and has accumulated a group of loyal "popular science fans".
"Maochang Village has a superior natural ecology, very suitable for food breeding, we have established a breeding experimental research base here, covering an area of about 30 acres, mainly used for the breeding of colored rice and buckwheat." This year's breeding of new buckwheat has achieved initial success, most of the leaves in addition to the green appear red and yellow, this type of buckwheat is rich in anthocyanins, some antioxidant and anti-aging ingredients, very beneficial to human health. Now ushered in a bumper harvest, after the estimated yield is much higher than the average buckwheat, it is even more gratifying. ”
At the end of the event, "Dr. Grain" Liang Chenggang also presented the "Little Breeder" certificate to all the participating children as a souvenir. Happy times are always short-lived, and after the event, families leave the wheat fields reluctantly with their trophies , "colored buckwheat".
