Zhimin Zhang
Director of a Biodiversity Farm
The Hope Brigade Beijing, 2021
Agriculture is a way of life that everyone needs to live. Agriculture is an art of cooperation between man and nature, which nourishes life with life. As long as we know the art of cooperation with the nature, the nature will give us healthy and delicious food.
Zhimin Zhang manages a biodiversity farm called Tianfu Garden. 20 years ago, Zhang gave up her life as a "golden collar" international trade professional, and came to the southern suburbs of Beijing to become a farmer. She respects the nature and abide by the natural timings of agriculture. Never using pesticides and fertilisers, in 20 years, she turned a piece of previously barren land into fertile soil and a self-circulating biodiversity farm.
