Influenced by policy adjustment, the Baishi Pig Farm located in Sanxiang Town transferred parts of its breeding bases to Yangjiang City. The idle pigpens were upgraded and transformed into a modern vegetable greenhouse of Zhongshan Shichu Happy Farm, which mainly grows hydroponic vegetables.

In the greenhouse, you will see a plethora of green vegetables. Due to the adoption of the water and fertilizer integration technology, these vegetables do not need soil but "drink" nutrient solution instead. Isolated from the outside world, they are free of insects and pesticides.

This new planting mode enables the smart control of temperature, humidity, and the amount of water and fertilizer, thus improving the planting efficiency.

Other idle pigpens are going to be renovated as appropriate.
