Yanghe Town embraces a unique approach to late rice cultivation. The public welfare project, covering around 50 acres of late rice cultivation in Gaoming’s Yanghe Town, integrates resources from agricultural enterprises and local farmers. It allocates 17 acres of paddy fields for enthusiastic individuals from all walks of life to claim, employing innovative concepts such as crowdfunding and resource sharing. Participants engage in charitable activities in the name of their claimed fields, fostering a blend of “agritourism + public welfare” through shared paddy fields.
