China's largest pure-desert wheat field combats desertification

In the vast Taklamakan Desert, also known as the "sea of death" in China, a remarkable feat is taking place.

A large wheat field has been successfully trial-planted on the southwestern edge of the desert in Makit county, Kashgar prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

The wheat plantation now covers over 400 hectares, making it China's largest pure-desert wheat field and marking a new approach to combating desertification through sustainable agriculture.
