The latest draft revisions to the nation's food security law seek to promote the adoption of yield-boosting growing techniques, machines and infrastructures.
The proposed changes were unveiled in a report submitted to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the nation's top legislature, for review on Monday.
The report said that after extensive research, lawmakers saw the need for the law to clarify its terms that cutting-edge technologies, equipment and devices must be promoted in the food production sector as part of the country's drive to bolster national food security with more technology input.
Lawmakers also suggested adding provisions over stepping up the construction of irrigation and flood control facilities, according to the report.
Proposed additions also include likes of more support for the farming machine industry and promotion of intercropping and crop rotating practices to boost yield in a given plot of land, it said.
