Abstract:
      Cadmium and arsenic are major heavy metal pollutants in croplands, posing serious threats to cropland eco-system health and agro-food safety. During the 13th Five-Year Period, a National Key R&D Program of China was initiated titled "research and development on integrated prevention and control techniques for agricultural non-point source and heavy metal polluted croplands", in which 14 research projects focused on the area of cadmium and arsenic pollution in croplands. The research projects covered fundamental research, key generic techniques development, integration and demonstration. This article introduced backgrounds, research missions and latest progress of the projects and provided outlook for the research effects.
