In the vast fields, young people have a lot to do.
At present, a large number of post-80s and post-90s generations with knowledge and culture are working in the fields, becoming a "new force" for grain planting, stable and increased production.
To ensure food security and answer the question of "who will grow grain in the future", the key is to continuously improve the production enthusiasm of grain farmers, especially to take multiple measures to attract more and more young people to join the army of grain planting, and consciously take up the responsibility of ensuring national food security. mission.
Enhance the sense of honor of the new farmers, and turn the "muddy rice bowl" into a "golden rice bowl".
Cultivating new agricultural management entities is the only way to realize agricultural modernization.
At present, it is necessary to speed up the cultivation of a large number of new-type professional farmers who are literate, know technology, be good at management, and be able to manage.
On the one hand, we should speed up the establishment of a new type of professional farmer training demonstration base, encourage and guide farmer trainees to actively participate in training, innovate training models, and improve their grain growing skills; Quantitative evaluation standards for professional title evaluation that integrate indicators such as performance and professional comprehensive ability, so that outstanding farmers such as "soil experts" and "Tian Xiucai" become real agricultural experts, and stimulate the enthusiasm of new farmers to engage in agricultural production, especially the continuous enhancement of young people. A sense of pride and honor in the identification of farmers' professional identity.
At present, there are 3.9 million family farms and more than 2.2 million farmers' cooperatives in my country.
It is necessary to do a good job of two types of agricultural business entities, family farms and farmers' cooperatives, to develop moderate-scale operations, to promote the organic connection between more small farmers and the development of modern agriculture, and to encourage small farmers to grow more and better grains.
Improve the scientific and technological content of new agriculture, and make agriculture an industry that can add value.
At present, the contribution rate of my country's agricultural science and technology progress exceeds 60%, and science and technology are becoming an important driving force for agricultural and rural economic growth.
To implement the strategy of "holding grain in technology", the key is to vigorously promote scientific farming, so that farmers can use the best technology to grow the best grain and pick up the golden pole of wealth.
On the one hand, vigorously promote smart agriculture, combine advanced technologies such as the Internet, big data, and artificial intelligence with traditional agriculture, track the driving trajectories and sowing status of agricultural machinery in a timely manner, and regularly monitor farmland soil composition and crop disease and insect pest information to achieve intelligence and scale. On the other hand, continue to expand the team of science and technology commissioners, and mobilize leading enterprises, scientific research institutes, agriculture-related colleges and other relevant units to supplement the reserve pool of science and technology commissioners.
For young farmers with little planting experience, it is necessary to train and drive a group of young technical experts to help them solve problems, improve their confidence in growing grains, and add stamina to agricultural development.
Implement the new agricultural "guarantee" policy, and make agricultural food the object of protection.
It is a systematic and long-term work to ensure the income of farmers' grain operation, and it is also the basis for improving the willingness of young people to grow grain.
At present, it is necessary to improve the production subsidy policies for wheat, corn, rice, soybeans and other crops, expand the coverage of grain insurance, and realize the "two-pronged approach" of grain subsidies and grain insurance policies; The overall coordination of the price chain of the agricultural industry can effectively maintain the price order of the agricultural materials market; it is also necessary to improve the grain purchase price system, implement the minimum grain purchase price policy, and coordinate and solve the difficulties and problems in the purchase.
Give full play to the advantages of new agricultural science and make agronomy a popular major.
Strengthen the professional construction of agriculture-related colleges and universities, and attract more students to apply for agriculture majors through preferential policies such as tuition reduction and exemption, so that students can pay more attention to and understand the actual situation of the front line of grain farming, cultivate students' interest in new agricultural sciences, and enhance students' learning of agriculture. The feelings and responsibilities of loving agriculture, knowing agriculture for agriculture, strengthening agriculture and promoting agriculture.
In addition, increase support for high-level and cutting-edge basic research in agriculture-related colleges and universities, speed up the solution of the "stuck neck" problem of food security, ensure that Chinese grains are mainly used in China, increase the self-sufficiency rate of high-quality seeds, and use good Chinese seeds to produce Chinese good seeds. grain.
