The photo, taken on November 7, shows a farmer binding rice straw with a binding machine in a paddy field at Hujia Village, Linpu Town, Daoxian County. With the late-season rice being harvested, the county authority guided the farmers to recycle rice straw for agricultural planting and breeding, and biomass power generation. This has helped reduce burning of rice straw while increasing economic benefit of agriculture. The wasted rice straw was turned into wealth. (Photo/He Hongfu)
