1 Overview


1.1 Project Background

Hubei Province is located in the midstream of the Yangtze River in
Central China. It has a fertile Jianghan Plain, bordering Anhui in the
east, Chongqing in the west, Shaanxi in the northwest, Jiangxi and Hunan in
the South and Henan in the north. Hubei Province is located in the middle
latitude, with a monsoon climate. It has obvious transitional climate
characteristics from north to south. It is one of the important
agricultural production areas in China. The agricultural industry in Hubei
province includes rice, cotton, rape, tea, orange, vegetable, aquaculture
and livestock. In the past few decades, Hubei has experienced strong
economic growth. While its economy is developing rapidly, the resources and
environment constraints are more rigid. The sustainable development of
agriculture is facing a severe challenge. Food safety is of great concern,
and it is a great challenge to ensure the quality and safety of
agricultural products. The impact of global climate change on agriculture
has become more obvious. There is greater pressure to raise the level of
agricultural income. The problems and conflicts are more prominent when it
comes to: ensuring the safety of agricultural products, increasing
production revenue, protecting resources and environment, and carbon
sequestration and emission reduction. In order to solve the current dilemma
of agricultural development in Hubei province and achieve sustainable and
high efficient agriculture under the condition of climate change and
produce safe and high quality agricultural products, it is necessary to
optimize production system, improve the regulations and policies and
improve the investment environment. Hubei Province urgently needs to do
some exploration and practice in these fields.
Financial institutions such as the WB and the Global Environment
Facility (GEF) have long been committed to agricultural demonstration
projects in developing countries to help them solve the problems in
production practices. The project involves a wide range of contents,
including crop production system, animal husbandry production system,
agroforestry composite system, urban agricultural system, grain-energy
comprehensive system, as well as integrated watershed management and soil
erosion control, regional agro-ecosystem optimization and management, etc.
Project activities mainly focus on demonstration of agricultural key
technologies, application of innovative supporting policies, expansion and
promotion of public knowledge. A consensus has been reached to establish a
"food safety and product quality" framework, among China's National
Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the WB. The
framework is listed as the top priority of China's agricultural development
and will involve a series of specific initiatives. At the same time, in
order to accelerate China's agricultural transformation, the Global
Environment Facility Council proposed a framework document entitled
"Innovation and Transformation of China's Food Production System and Agro-
ecological Landscape". The urgent need of Hubei Province to solve the
agricultural dilemma is fully consistent with the long-term goal of the WB
and the GEF. In addition, Hubei Province is located in the transition area
connecting the North and South, the East and West China, which can play a
leading role to other provinces of China. Therefore, a consensus has been
reached, among Hubei Province, WB and GEF through several rounds of
consultations, to implement the Safe, Sustainable and Smart
Agriculture(SSSA) project in Hubei jointly, which is an important part of
China's framework of "food safety and product quality" and the "Innovation
and Transformation of China's Food Production System and Agro-ecological
Landscape ".
The project is led by Hubei Provincial Government and Hubei Department
of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. Based on the investigation of current
situation and existing issues in agricultural industry, targeted solutions
were proposed. The project will contribute to improve product quality and
food safety regulatory system and promote sustainable development of
agriculture through implementation of safe, sustainable and smart
agricultural practices. This demonstrative project could be promoted to
other places of Hubei province, national wide and even to worldwide to
improve quality and safety of agricultural product and level of smart
agriculture. ECOPs shall be necessary in the process of implementing the
project.
The main contents of ECOP include: project introduction, setting of
environmental management organizations, implementation plan of
environmental protection measures, environmental supervision plan,
reporting procedure and document management.
