“The Belt and Road Initiative is a really important initiative for different countries to develop partnerships with China,” said Caroline S. Gomide, a professor at the University of Brasilia, when attending the 2nd China-Brazil Poverty Alleviation and Rural Revitalization Forum. “Also, the initiative is important for the Global South, so we are looking forward to cooperating with China,” she said.
On personnel exchanges between China and Brazil, Prof. Gomide recommended people in Brazil come to China and also learn more about Chinese culture.
“China and Brazil can cooperate in different areas, especially in agriculture,” Prof. Gomide said. She added that both countries have a lot of peasants, and China can specifically help with technology and machinery. Gomide said some peasant families in Brazil lack technification and mechanization, and China can help a lot in this aspect.
She added Brazil and many other countries faced with a huge challenge to treat the food waste, and China has the technology to help with it.
“In general, we can not only focus on agricultural family farming, but also focus on family farm, science and technology for win-win cooperation”, she concluded.
