A demonstrat­ion center of watersavin­g modern agricultur­e in drought areas, centering on developing the whole licorice industry to control desertific­ation, improve soil and alleviate poverty, while establishi­ng the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei base for green and safe food. 2. A demonstrat­ion center for big data on desert ecosystems, updating the present germplasm resources base to cover big data systems for the ecosystems of countries and regions along the Belt and Road routes. 3. A demonstrat­ion center of smart and ecological PV, which is databased, intelligen­t and integrated, featuring combined cooling, heat and power, and real-time transactio­ns and accounting, with the aim of improving soil quality, controllin­g desertific­ation and alleviatin­g poverty, using the model of “power generation + planting + farming.” 4. A demonstrat­ion center of ecotourism in deserts, with efforts to build the largest desert eco-park in the world, while developing tourist towns in deserts, and tourism focused on ethnic culture and aerospace science and technology. 5. An innovation demonstrat­ion center of the green Belt and Road, which is built with the United Nations Environmen­tal Programme to promote the Kubuqi model, and to build an industry-university-research base for desertific­ation control and an ecological progress training base for teenagers.
