The Jiangsu provincial standard titled "Technical code of practice for integration of 'rice-sheep-fertilizer' circulatory system in the ecological farm", led by the Donglin Farm Cooperative in Taicang, has been officially approved and published. It is Suzhou's only provincial-level agricultural standard, approved in 2024.

The standard serves as a model for large-scale circular farming, improving the utilization efficiency of agricultural waste and enhancing agricultural productivity.
