These technologies might encompass AI-powered farming systems, biotechnology applications, and environmentally friendly farming practices. Both partners are committed to sustainable agriculture, aiming to promote practices that reduce the environmental impact of agriculture, including organic farming, efficient water irrigation, and reduced pesticide usage.

Enhancing food security in the region is a top priority. The partnership will work on improving crop production, quality, and overall productivity to ensure a continuous food supply for the growing population. Bio-health agriculture will also address food-related health concerns. The collaboration will focus on developing crops with improved nutritional content, reducing the need for chemical additives, and ensuring safer food products for consumers.

Liman Zhao, Vice Chairman of the Yangling Bio-Health Agricultural Industry Alliance, also emphasized the significance of Pakistan-China cooperation for the development of the Bio-Health Agriculture Industry Alliance. He stated that the University Alliance and China-Pakistan partnership's promotion of bio-health agriculture advancement is an important step.
