World Bank Investor Video Project Example - Eco Farming in China (Chinese Subtitles)

The World Bank provided a US$120 million loan for an Eco Farming Project in China in 2008. The project is designed to improve the rural environment and living conditions by promoting environmentally friendly and economically efficient farm production. In addition to cleaner, healthier farmyard environments, a key goal of the project is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through methane capture and combustion to generate energy and reduced burning of coal and firewood. By the end of the project, CO2 eq.emissions in the project areas are expected to be reduced by 800,000-100,000,000 tons per year.
