Agriculture is the cornerstone of economic and social development at all times. It has the function of "ballast stone" and plays an important role in stabilizing the livelihoods of low-income people.
In 2020, the country’s grain production will achieve “17 consecutive harvests”, especially under the influence of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the stable development of my country’s agricultural and rural areas has played an important role in responding to risks and challenges.

Tang Zhong, Dean of the School of Agriculture and Rural Development of Renmin University of China, said that compared with developed countries, my country’s rural population still accounts for a higher proportion of the population, and the urban-rural dual structure is still prominent. There are still many farmers whose income is below the “average” and their income needs to be waited. Further increase.
In the new stage of development, problems such as the equalization of urban and rural public services must be resolved in order to basically achieve socialist modernization in 2035.
"Opening the history of modernization in various countries in the world, both positive and negative experiences and lessons have taught us that whether we can handle the rural area well determines the success or failure of our modernization to a certain extent." Deputy Director of the Reform Experimental Research Office of the Rural Economic Research Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Liu Junjie said that the problem of long legs in cities and short legs in rural areas has been prominent for a long time. If the rural areas cannot be modernized at the same time, there will be no modernization of the entire country, and national rejuvenation will not be possible.
To comprehensively build a modern socialist country and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the most arduous and arduous tasks still lie in the rural areas, and the broadest and deepest foundation remains in the rural areas.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the meeting that it is necessary to strengthen the party's overall leadership over the "three rural" work.

The Party Central Committee decided that after the completion of the poverty alleviation goals and tasks, a five-year transition period will be established for counties that are free from poverty.
During the transition period, the overall stability of the main assistance policies should be maintained.
The existing assistance policies are optimized and adjusted item by item, and the pace, intensity, and time limit of the adjustment are reasonably controlled to gradually realize the smooth transition from centralized resources to support poverty alleviation to comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization.
"Dynamic monitoring and assistance mechanisms for preventing the return to poverty will continue to be improved during the rural revitalization stage, and the monitoring is accurate to households to people. The purpose is to take timely targeted assistance measures to prevent the return of poverty." Wang Sangui said.
During the poverty alleviation period, 9.6 million rural poor people “uprooted the roots” of poverty through relocation.
Zhang Qi, Dean of the China Institute of Poverty Alleviation, Beijing Normal University, said that to ensure that the relocated people can stabilize and gradually become rich, an important means to achieve this goal is employment.

Firmly hold the initiative in food security
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that we must firmly hold the initiative in food security, and we must pay close attention to food production every year.
At the moment when the national grain output has stabilized at a high level of more than 1.3 trillion catties for six consecutive years, why does General Secretary Xi Jinping have to warn him so hard?
Some experts believe that the self-sufficiency rate of rice and wheat in my country has reached 100%, but the long-term high-intensity and over-load use of cultivated land has worsened the degradation of cultivated land.
With the rapid progress of urbanization and industrialization, high-quality arable land resources have become more in short supply.

Huang Jikun said that agricultural products must not only ensure quantity, but also diversity and quality. In the future, it is necessary to encourage the cultivation of high-quality rice and wheat, and at the same time solve the problem of increasing feed grain demand and imports.
Cultivated land is the lifeblood of food production. We must do a good job in the construction of high-standard farmland, and we must not neglect the transformation of low- and medium-yield farmland to give full play to the potential of the land and the ability to resist risks.
"The food security we are talking about is actually food security-as people's living standards increase, the demand for meat, eggs, milk, etc. will increase, and the demand for feed grain will continue to increase." Tang Zhong said that we must ensure that food security is prioritized. The food security strategy of "self-centered, domestically based, ensuring production capacity, moderate imports, and scientific and technological support" has been implemented.
Experts also said that to ensure food security, it is necessary to increase support, solve the problem of farmers' enthusiasm in growing grain and local governments to grasp grain, and improve the professional and social service system.
It is necessary to thoroughly implement the important agricultural product protection strategy and continue to deepen the structural reform of the agricultural supply side.

Strengthen the Construction of Rural Ecological Civilization with the Spirit of Nailing
To fully implement the strategy of rural revitalization, there are many things to do.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the top-level design must be strengthened and promoted with more powerful measures and gathering more powerful forces.
Among them, it is a specific request put forward by General Secretary Xi Jinping to promote the construction of rural ecological civilization such as the prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution with the spirit of nailing a nail.
Chang Jiwen, deputy director of the Institute of Resources and Environmental Policy of the Development Research Center of the State Council, said that in recent years, the construction of urban ecological civilization has made great progress, and urban industrial pollution and domestic pollution control have achieved great results. There are some gaps. Rural infrastructure construction is lagging behind, the work foundation is weak, and farmers’ environmental awareness is still not in place.
At the same time, agricultural non-point source pollution, including livestock and poultry breeding, pesticide and fertilizer pollution, etc., urgently need to be put under control.
"We must comprehensively build an ecological civilization. If the shortcomings are not overcome, the achievements of the ecological civilization construction are unstable." Chang Jiwen said that the rural ecological civilization construction has become one of the shortcomings of the country's ecological civilization construction and must be vigorously strengthened.
The improvement of the rural ecological environment will also increase the country's overall ecological environment capacity.
Some experts reminded that the construction of rural ecological civilization should be promoted scientifically and rationally and in accordance with local conditions.
Some places where the population is relatively concentrated can be used for centralized sewage treatment, but in some places where the population is relatively dispersed, it is necessary to take measures that meet the national standards and requirements, but also reflect the local characteristics and advantages to build an ecologically beautiful and rich people. Beautiful village.

Implement rural construction actions
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the need to implement rural construction activities, continue to focus on the construction of public infrastructure in rural areas, continue to make efforts to promote the equalization of basic public services in urban and rural areas, and focus on strengthening inclusive, comprehensive, and basic people's livelihood construction.
In this regard, Cheng Yu, deputy director of the Rural Economic Research Department of the Development Research Center of the State Council, believes that the focus of public infrastructure construction should continue to be placed on the rural areas. It is necessary to solve the supply guarantee for the remote village groups such as water, electricity, gas network heat, and effectively guarantee rural life. The improvement of quality will accelerate the transformation and upgrading of infrastructure such as transportation, water conservancy, warehousing, logistics, and networks, and effectively support the development of modern industries in rural areas.
"Rural construction is a project that concerns the overall situation and has a huge investment. Without the guidance of scientific planning, it will ultimately harm the interests of farmers." Liu Junjie said, in actual work, we must insist on planning first and then building without planning, and maintaining planning. The seriousness and authority of the plan; ensure the foresight, rationality and overall planning of planning, scientifically plan the spatial layout, reasonably determine the size of the village, and focus on improving the function of the village community.
Huang Jikun said that in the implementation of rural construction activities, the situation in the villages in different regions is different, and there is no “one size fits all”. What needs to be done is to make up for what is missing, especially to listen to local opinions.
Farmers will love and invest in projects that meet farmers' wishes.
