  The Central Rural Work Conference was held in Beijing from the 23rd to the 24th. As the highest-level agriculture-related conference in China, this conference aims to speed up the construction of an "agricultural power" as the general leader, and will work for China's "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" for next year and even for a longer period of time. Create a "road map".

From a big agricultural country to a strong agricultural country

  Throughout the content of the meeting, "an agricultural power" was mentioned about 20 times.

Why did the Central Rural Work Conference mention "an agricultural power" many times?

China has a long farming civilization and is recognized as a large agricultural country in the world. What is the deep meaning of the high-level leaders from "a large agricultural country" to a "strong agricultural country"?

  "With the convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has entered a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. China cannot achieve modernization without the modernization of agriculture, and it is necessary to make up for the shortcomings of 'three rural areas'." Rural Development Research, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Li Guoxiang, a researcher at the Institute, told a reporter from China News Agency that the acceleration of building a strong agricultural country is determined by China's goal of building a socialist modern power in an all-round way, which reflects the consistent importance that China's high-level officials attach to the "three rural" work.

  The meeting proposed that comprehensively promoting rural revitalization and accelerating the construction of a strong agricultural country is a strategic deployment made by the Party Central Committee with a view to building a modern socialist country in an all-round way.

A strong country must first strengthen its agriculture, and only a strong agriculture can make the country strong.

Without a strong agricultural country, there would be no modernized country; without agricultural and rural modernization, socialist modernization would be incomplete.

  The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that it is necessary to speed up the construction of a strong agricultural country and solidly promote the revitalization of rural industries, talents, culture, ecology, and organizations.

It can be seen that at the new stage of modernization, the Central Rural Work Conference's focus on the goal of "a strong agricultural country" is a concrete implementation of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

Create top-level design "four beams and eight pillars"

  Focusing on the goal of "a strong agricultural country", the meeting clarified key tasks and ways to achieve them.

  Regarding the key tasks of "a strong agricultural country", the meeting pointed out that ensuring a stable and safe supply of food and important agricultural products is always the top priority for building a strong agricultural country, comprehensively promoting rural revitalization is an important task for building a strong agricultural country in the new era, and rural modernization is the key to building a strong agricultural country Intrinsic requirements and necessary conditions, building a livable, suitable and beautiful village is the proper meaning of a strong agricultural country.

  As for the way to achieve "a strong agricultural country", the meeting proposed that we should rely on the two-wheel drive of science and technology and reform to speed up the construction of a strong agricultural country.

  The meeting also proposed that we must adhere to the unwavering principle of the party's leadership in "three rural" work, improve the leadership system and working mechanism, and provide a strong guarantee for accelerating the construction of a strong agricultural country.

  Li Guoxiang said that at present, the international situation is changing rapidly, and China's agriculture is also on the new journey of modernization. The Central Rural Work Conference has played a guiding role by proposing the four major goals and tasks, two major realization methods and implementation guarantees of "a strong agricultural country". The role of nature and direction will make the future "three rural" work goals clearer and more motivated.

Comprehensive planning and focus

  The Central Rural Work Conference made a comprehensive plan for "a strong agricultural country", and proposed to anchor the goal of building a strong agricultural country, scientifically plan and promote "three rural" work, strengthen top-level design, and formulate plans to accelerate the construction of a strong agricultural country.

  Experts pointed out that while planning an "agricultural power" in an all-round way, this Central Rural Work Conference also has some key points and new formulations that deserve attention.

  Jiang Wenlai, a researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Agricultural Regional Planning of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, told reporters that under the leadership of the Central Rural Work Conference under the goal of "agricultural power", the first concern is still the "rice bowl" of the Chinese people. The meeting proposed to rely on oneself It is a relatively new action to secure jobs and propose to implement a new round of 100 billion catties of grain production capacity improvement.

  He said that the reason for proposing this action is that China's high-level officials are highly concerned about food security. The per unit area yield of China's grain, especially soybean and other grain crops, is still relatively low compared with foreign countries, and it is easy to be controlled by others. Through the implementation of grain production capacity improvement actions , Contribute to the escort of agricultural modernization, contribute to the implementation of the strategy of "storing grain in the ground" and "storing grain in technology", improve the level of food security, and firmly hold the rice bowl of the Chinese people in their own hands. In addition, to ensure food security It is also an important starting point for comprehensively promoting rural revitalization.

  This meeting made more arrangements for improving agricultural science and technology, and proposed to keep a close eye on the frontiers of agricultural science and technology in the world, vigorously improve the level of agricultural science and technology, and accelerate the realization of high-level self-reliance and self-improvement in agricultural science and technology.

It is necessary to be guided by the breakthrough of key agricultural core technologies, guided by the urgent needs of the industry, and focus on chassis technology, core seed sources, key agricultural machinery and equipment and other fields.

  Jiang Wenlai said that from a historical point of view, China's increase in grain production mainly relies on two "magic weapons", one is policy and the other is technology.

At present, policy measures have been used more, and scientific and technological means need to be further improved, especially the improvement of grain yield per unit area through science and technology, as well as the transformation of low- and medium-yield fields, the development and utilization of saline-alkali land, the improvement of the seed industry, etc., are inseparable from science and technology. Science and technology is also an important driving force for the current agricultural modernization.
