Digang in Zhejiang province

Shaped by over 2,500 years of history, Digang is famed for its "Mulberry-Dyke & Fish-Pond System", a circular eco-agricultural model with over 322 species, including indigenous mulberries and silkworms.

For over two decades, local women have led the protection and promotion of the mulberry-dyke & fish-pond system.
