6月16日，军委后勤保障部有关部门依托无锡联勤保障中心农业新技术试验培训基地，组织今年将赴海外执行维和任务部队的生产骨干进行专项培训。
WUXI, June 21 -- The Logistic Support Department under the Central Military Commission (CMC) organized a special training session on vegetable farming for the troops to undertake upcoming peacekeeping missions abroad this year in a new agricultural technology test and training base under the Joint Logistic Support Center in Wuxi on June 16.
这是我军首次组织维和任务部队生产骨干专项培训，旨在为进一步提高维和官兵科学种植管理水平，使维和官兵有针对性掌握蔬菜栽培相关技术，提升新鲜蔬菜应急保障能力。
It is for the first time that the Chinese military has organized such a training session for its peacekeeping forces, which aims to enable them to master vegetable cultivation technology, further improving their scientific planting and management skills, and the capability of emergency support of fresh vegetables during the peacekeeping mission period.
此举对于维和任务部队因地制宜开展“菜篮子”生产，调剂官兵伙食和丰富业余生活，将起到积极作用。
This move will play a positive role in guaranteeing the military non-staple food supply based on local conditions, enriching food variety and spare-time life for the peacekeeping troops abroad.
开展农副业生产，是我军光荣传统。多年来，我驻海外维和任务部队官兵在执行任务间隙，利用营地空闲土地，自己开垦建设菜园子，种植芹菜、西红柿、黄瓜等蔬菜，不仅增加了蔬菜供应品种、提升了官兵饮食保障质量，还有效丰富了官兵业余生活、调节了思乡情绪。
It is learnt that it is a glorious tradition of the Chinese military to carry out agricultural and sideline production. Over the past years, the Chinese peacekeepers overseas have made full use of the idle land in their camps to build vegetable gardens and grow vegetables like celery, tomato and cucumber in their spare time. This has not only improved the quality of the food security, but also effectively enriched their amateur life overseas.
此次培训邀请了陆军勤务学院训练基地等单位的专家教授，从维和任务地域气候、自然环境介绍、蔬菜品种推介和种植技术培训等方面分别授课，重点让官兵学习了解执行任务地区气候土壤特点、主要蔬菜品种和种植规律，掌握简易生产设施建设技术、快速育苗方法和田间管理技术、病虫害诊断鉴别与绿色防控。
To hold this training, experts and professors from the PLA Army Logistics University and other units have been invited to deliver lectures in terms of climate features and natural environment of mission areas, vegetable variety promotion and planting technology training, through which the Chinese peacekeepers can learn the soil characteristics, vegetable planting rules, rapid seedling raising methods, field management technology, detection and identification of pests, as well as green prevention and control.
