Environmental protection authorities have promised to do more to improve water and soil conditions in suburban and rural parts of the city, while also fighting pollution caused by agriculture and poultry breeding.

"As part of an environmental protection plan for the next three years, we will put more emphasis on the supervision of the farmland environment and water conditions in suburban areas," said Bai Guoqiang, director of the Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau's Comprehensive Planning Division.

Under the plan, more than 2,000 small- and medium-sized farms in Shanghai, most of which raise pigs, will be closed or told to upgrade their facilities, Bai said.
