Recently, Associate Professor Xiaolong Feng from the College of Economics and Management at China Agricultural University, together with researchers from the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), has addressed these questions through a comparative analysis of agricultural subsidy policies in China and Africa. The related article has been published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2025624).

Recently, an in-depth study addressing this question was jointly conducted by Associate Professor Ting Meng from the College of Economics and Management at China Agricultural University, in collaboration with researchers from the Research Institute for Eco-civilization of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Alliance of Biodiversity International and International Center for Tropical Agriculture (Senegal). The study offers systematic solutions for developing countries, and the related article was published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2025646).

A new study shows that coal mine waste, often seen as an environmental problem, can actually help create stronger, longer-lasting biochar that locks carbon in soil and supports cleaner environments. The research, published in Carbon Research, reveals that adding low-carbon coal gangue to crop residues during biochar production can significantly increase the carbon stability of the resulting material while reducing the release of dissolved organic matter (DOM), which influences greenhouse gas emissions and pollutant movement in soil.

With the growing demand for more efficient and sustainable chemical processes, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have become a research hotspot due to their high atomic utilization and unique catalytic performance. As a core characterization tool, XAFS (X-ray absorption fine structure) technology can deeply study the microscopic chemical environment of SACs, providing key data for catalyst design. This article is based on a review published in Nano Research, exploring the progress, challenges, and future prospects of XAFS in SACs research, aiming to provide readers with comprehensive scientific insights.

A collaborative research team from institutions including China Agricultural University and Solomon Islands National University has addressed this question through in-depth analysis using a multi-country general equilibrium model. By leveraging trade data from 2001 to 2022 and combining it with a structural multi-country trade model, the team simulated the impact of China–Africa agricultural trade liberalization on the welfare and food security of both parties. The related paper has been published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2025617).

Recently, a study led by Professor Qiran Zhao from the College of Economics and Management, China Agricultural University, for the first time incorporated physical fitness tests into the evaluation system. By analyzing the implementation effect of China’s Nutrition Improvement Program (NIP) for rural compulsory education students, the study provides a new perspective for optimizing SFPs worldwide, especially in African countries. The related article has been published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2025611).
