[Explanation] In the hot summer, I walked into the high-standard farmland project area of ​​Beili Zigu Village, Huangzhuang Town, Baodi District, Tianjin City. Looking around, the green Xiaozhan rice was growing gratifyingly.

Cultivated land is the foundation of food production. To ensure food security, high-standard farmland construction is the key.

  We are now planting more than 1,000 mu of land in this village. In the past, four or five people had to manage water, electricity, and pumps for this more than 1,000 mu of land. Now two people have solved it all. One person regularly maintains water and electricity, and regularly inspects it. Save labor.

  [Explanation] A few days ago, in order to provide a solid foundation for ensuring national food security and the effective supply of important agricultural products, the Tianjin Municipal Government approved the "Tianjin High-standard Farmland Construction Plan (2021-2030)".

  According to the relevant requirements of the "Planning", by 2025, 4.38 million mu of high-standard farmland will be built, and 190,000 mu of high-standard farmland will be upgraded.

Through high-standard farmland construction, the grain production capacity per mu will be increased to 800 kilograms.

  Before the construction of high-standard farmland, the roads were all earth roads, the canals were all earth canals, and the pumping station was also an old motor from the past, which cost electricity.

Today's high-standard farmland is all hardened. We plant rice, and then transport the seedlings and the rice to the outside, which saves time, and allows us to reduce costs, saving half of the water every year.

  In 2020 and 2021, the cost of circulation per mu of land is 1,000 yuan. Through high-standard project construction, the income will be increased, and one mu of land will increase by 230 yuan.

  [Explanation] The abundance of grain will ensure the stability of agriculture, and the stability of agriculture will lead to national security.

In the next step, Tianjin will take multiple measures to continue to promote the construction of high-standard farmland.

  [Concurrent] Zhang Dawei, Deputy Director of the Farmland Management Office of the Tianjin Agricultural and Rural Committee

  In the process of project construction, through the implementation of a series of comprehensive measures such as land remediation, soil improvement, irrigation and drainage channels, as well as field roads, transmission and distribution lines, etc., the overall quality of farmland is improved, and then centralized and contiguous, water-saving is achieved. The goal of high-efficiency, stable and high-yield, drought and flood protection and ecological friendliness is such a high-standard farmland construction goal.
