Profile

College of Pastoral Agriculture Science and Technology, Lanzhou University

College of Pastoral Agriculture Science and Technology (CPAST), Lanzhou University, is the successor of the Gansu Grassland Ecological Research Institute (GGERI) that was established by Academician Jizhou Ren in 1981 administrated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Gansu Provincial Government. The name of Grassland Ecological Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, started to be used in May 2001. In April 2002, GGERI as a whole was merged into Lanzhou University and CPAST was established at the same time. The names of “Gansu Grassland Ecological Research Institute” and “Grassland Ecological Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences” are still kept. CPAST is the only college sponsored by both “211” and “985” construction projects among 36 universities with colleges related to grassland sciences national wide.

CPAST has an excellent faculty, including two academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, one chief scientist of the National Basic Research Development Program of China (“973” Program), two members of the National Top Hundred, Thousand and Ten Thousand Talent Program, seven seniors with the State Council Special Allowance, four New Century Excellent Talents, Ministry of Education, four Tsuiying Distinguished Professors, 15 professors, 17 associate professors, 11 lecturers, 14 doctoral supervisors and 43 master supervisors.

Four professors have positions in international academic organizations and four are members of SCI journal editorial boards.

CPAST has five research platforms, including the State Key Laboratory of Grassland Farming Systems, the Key Laboratory of Grassland Agro-ecosystems, Ministry of Agriculture, Forage and Turfgrass Seed Quality Supervision and Testing Center (Lanzhou), Ministry of Agriculture, Grassland Agriculture Engineering Center, Ministry of Education, Western Pastoral Engineering Research Center, Gansu Province. In addition CPAST operates 12 field stations and demonstration sites, including the Qingyang Loess Plateau Grassland Farming Systems Experimental Station and the Linze Grassland Ecological Experimental Station etc..

Over the past five years, CPAST has undertaken 155 research projects, 24 of which are national or provincial key projects, including the first “973” program in the grass and forage research field in China that is also the first “973” program hosted by Lanzhou University, three key programs of National Natural Science Foundation of China, three projects of National High-tech Research and Development Program of China (“863” Program), four projects of National Science and Technology Support Program and 11 international cooperation projects.
