[BEIJING] The Chinese central government will allocate 100 million yuan (US$12.1 million) each year for the next few years to help drive scientific development in deprived counties and county-level areas, according to state councillor Chen Zhili.

The state councillor — a position similar, in China, to deputy prime minister — made the remark last Thursday (28 October) at a national conference for county-level scientific development held in Beijing.

Local science authorities will use the extra funds to train farmers with relevant science-based approaches
