The proposed development objective is to reduce water pollutant releases from crop and livestock production in selected areas of Guangdong Province. This project is part of Guangdong’s efforts to achieve its agricultural pollution reduction targets required by the national and provincial 12th Five Year Plans on Environmental Protection. By improving environmental performance of Guangdong’s crop and livestock production sectors, this project will reduce land-based pollution from these sectors to the coastal and estuary ecosystems of the South China Sea.
