在全球气候变化加剧、粮食安全与生态安全挑战日益严峻的背景下，草地作为地球分布最广的陆地生态系统之一，其生态功能维持与可持续管理已成为全球关注的焦点议题。草地不仅是重要的碳汇库、生物多样性基因库和畜牧业生产基地，更是全球约三分之一人口赖以生存和发展的物质基础。如何统筹草地的生态与生产功能，推动草业向绿色、高效、智能方向转型升级，已成为国际学术界和产业界共同面临的重大命题。

近年来，随着大数据、人工智能、基因编辑等新兴技术的快速发展，草业科学正经历深刻变革。从基因编辑驱动的抗逆草种创新，到“天空地”一体化草地智慧监测网络；从退化草地的近自然修复策略，到“土-草-畜”系统耦合的可持续发展模式——科技创新正在重塑草业的研究范式与管理路径。

为协同推动未来草地生态保护与草业高质量发展，经甘肃农业大学申请，甘肃省外办批准，特举办2026年第三届草地生态保护与草业高质量发展国际学术研讨会，诚挚邀请相关领域的专家、学者及研究生参会，聚焦草地生物多样性保育、退化草地生态修复、草类种质创新与育种、草地放牧管理、草产品高值化利用等前沿方向，分享最新研究成果与实践经验，探讨全球草地生态保护与草业绿色发展的新路径。

Conference 2026 3^rd International Symposium on Grassland Ecological Conservation and Sustainable Development Grassland Agriculture

Conference Introduction

Against a backdrop of intensifying climate change and mounting pressures on food security and ecological integrity, grasslands—among the most extensive terrestrial ecosystems on Earth—have drawn increasing global attention for their ecological functions and sustainable management. Grasslands serve not only as major carbon sinks, reservoirs of biodiversity, and livestock production for one‑third of the global population. A balance between the productive and ecological roles of grasslands has thus become a priority for researchers, policymakers and managers worldwide.

Recent years have witnessed transformative advances in big data, artificial intelligence, and gene editing, which are reshaping grassland science at multiple scales. From the development of stress‑tolerant forage varieties through gene editing, to the deployment of integrated space‑air‑ground monitoring networks; from near‑natural restoration approaches for degraded rangelands, to coupled grassland‑livestock‑environment systems for sustainable agriculture is redefining both the research agenda and the management toolkit of grassland agriculture.

It is against this evolving scientific and practical landscape that Gansu Agricultural University, with the approval of the Foreign Affairs Office of the People’s Government of Gansu Province, is organizing the 2026 3^rd International Symposium on Grassland Ecological Conservation and Sustainable Development of Grassland Agriculture. The symposium aims to stimulate cutting‑edge research on biodiversity conservation, ecosystem restoration, integrative management and sustainable utilization of grass products, while fostering integrated solutions that align ecological protection with productive advancement. We warmly welcome experts, scholars, and postgraduate students from around the world to join us in Lanzhou, to exchange the latest findings and practical insights, and to contribute to a collaborative and innovative future for global grassland ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.
