Innovative farming exhibits catch May's eye

Agricultural innovation, such as a factory for growing plants under LED lighting, caught British Prime Minister Theresa May's eye during her tour on Thursday of China's evolving science and technology in the sector.

Researchers also showed May how they improve farming methods in urban buildings among city households and promote methods of soilless cultivation.

The cutting-edge techniques of Chinese researchers were presented to the visiting British leader at the National Agricultural Science & Technology Demonstration Park of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Beijing.
