In general, the reports cover a wide range of contents, presenting valuable findings and policy recommendations based on these findings, said Du Zhixiong, deputy director of the Rural Development Institute Chinese Academy of Social Science (RDI).

The reports provide China's new practices and models in the field of ecological protection compensation and a summary of approaches to agriculture and animal husbandry sustainable development, stated Zhang Zhaoxin, a researcher with the rural economy research center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, who also suggested further research on this issue in future.

Sustainable development of agriculture and animal husbandry requires efforts from both governments and the society, Liu Changquan, a researcher with the RDI expressed his view, adding that the reports have probed into the issue.
