Up to now, good youth alliances have been generally established at the city and county levels in Shandong Province, and a total of 3.15 billion yuan of "good rural youth loans" have been issued, driving a large number of young people to join the big stage of rural revitalization.
The key to rural revitalization lies in people.
In February 2021, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Accelerating the Promotion of Rural Talent Revitalization", proposing that by 2025, the institutional framework and policy system for rural talent revitalization will be basically formed, and the scale and quality of talents in various fields of rural revitalization will continue to grow. Steady improvement and continuous optimization of the structure have basically formed a pattern of various types of talents supporting and serving rural areas, and rural talents have initially met the basic needs of implementing the rural revitalization strategy.
In February this year, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Doing a Good Job in Comprehensively Promoting the Key Work of Rural Revitalization in 2022" clearly stated that to vigorously promote the construction of digital villages, it is necessary to promote the development of smart agriculture and promote the integration of information technology and agricultural machinery and agronomy.

Wu Qi believes that to retain "new farmers", it is necessary to create a better business environment for them and provide them with more room to play.
For example, strengthen top-level planning, and further increase policy support for the cultivation of talents returning to their hometowns to start a business and talents for the revitalization of rural industries in terms of fiscal and tax incentives, financing guarantees, land use and housing, and professional title evaluation. , to relieve the worries of the "new farmers".
Another example is to give play to the leading role of rural cadres and talents, and strengthen vocational education and academic education and training for "new farmers" through various learning platforms, paired assistance, regular training, case visits, etc.
In addition, it is necessary to further strengthen the construction of rural basic services and infrastructure, improve the modernization level of rural governance, promote the construction of rural public service capacity and the equal development of urban and rural public services, and create a better ecological environment and living environment.
