Several strategic activities, like YPARD China Youth Elite Round Table Discuss, YPARD China web intern training or the YPARD annual conference, were held at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) during the YPARD China Week. By making use of this opportunity, YPARD China got together several young elites in the agricultural field to develop YPARD China business plan for 2014-2018. The main plan’s drafters were young researchers and teachers from Chinese leading agricultural universities as well as the high-profile elite from student organizations and NGOs.
During this process, we adopted some suggestions from Codrin Paveliuc, Chairman of YPARD Steering Committee, Dr. R. Seenivasan, former YPARD Asia Coordinator and Jieying Bi, YPARD China representative. Through several rounds of discussions among the main drafters, a formalized business plan was finally settled.
