阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题或翻译画线部分。

A new mobile app called Farm Assistant, developed by Wu Zeyin, makes farm work easier in Botswana. Wu is a 12 - year - old student in Botswana, Africa. He moved there from Hubei province with his family eight years ago.
In Botswana, the desert climate is very common in most parts. “During the past years living in the country, I found there weren't many fruits and vegetables sold at local supermarkets, and the quality was poor,” he said. The low production of the crops(庄稼) has much to do with the climate. For a long time, Botswana had to buy many fruits and vegetables from neighboring countries to meet the needs of its people.
In July 2022, a pilot project to grow China's water - saving and drought - tolerant(耐旱的) rice was successfully undertaken in Gaborone, the capital of Botswana, which brought Wu some new ideas. When he got the news, he decided to develop an app for the local farmers. The app supports several crops commonly grown locally, including tomatoes, potatoes, onions, corn, carrots and cabbages. Farmers who use the app can click on the crop picture to see its seed(种子) price, watering needs, and selling price. After planting the seeds, farmers click the timer to start, and the app reminds them what they should do in each period.
Wu said there is an old saying in China, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
