"Grow the seeds of the awns, and harvest the seeds."

At present, the harvest of summer grain wheat has exceeded 70%, and summer planting and summer management are busy in various places.

During the busy season of "Three Summers", on June 8, 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Chengdu Plain, known as the "Land of Abundance", to inspect grain production, emphasizing that we have the confidence and confidence to take the Chinese people's rice bowl firmly in our own hands.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping has always attached great importance to the food issue and has repeatedly emphasized it.

He pointed out: "Ensuring national food security is an eternal issue, and this string cannot be loosened at any time."

　　At present, due to the combined effects of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the increase in the price of agricultural materials, international food prices have risen sharply.

People have a more real feeling of "holding the rice bowl firmly in their own hands".

　　To ensure food security, the key is to implement the strategy of storing grain in land and technology, and the key is seeds and arable land.

　　This time, General Secretary Xi Jinping went deep into Yongfeng Village in Meishan, Sichuan to inspect the local promotion of high-standard farmland construction and strengthening of grain production. In the new era, we will build a higher-level "Tianfu Granary".

　　To protect arable land, we must not only protect the quantity, but also improve the quality.

Building high-standard farmland is an important starting point.

　　Where is the high standard farmland?

Drought can be irrigated, waterlogging can be drained, fields are formed, roads are smooth, water conservancy facilities are relatively complete, no longer looking at the sky to harvest, agricultural machinery can be easily put into the fields, and large-scale production can be achieved.

By 2022, my country will build a total of 1 billion mu of high-standard farmland, and stably achieve a grain production capacity of more than 1 trillion catties. Compared with my country's annual grain output of more than 1.3 trillion catties in recent years, its importance is self-evident.

　　High-standard farmland construction requires real investment.

At the 2020 Central Rural Work Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly emphasized: "We must unswervingly grasp, improve construction standards and quality, and truly achieve drought and flood, high yield and stable yield. This determination must be made, and the money that should be taken must be taken! "

　　Seeds are the key to producing more and better grains.

　　In December 2020, the Central Economic Work Conference proposed to solve the problem of seeds and cultivated land.

At the Central Rural Work Conference in the same year, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the early realization of independent and controllable sources of important agricultural products.

　　Two months ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Hainan. The first stop was the Yazhou Bay Seed Laboratory in Sanya City to learn about the innovation of the seed industry.

　　During this inspection, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the largest pilot base for new rice varieties and new technologies in Sichuan Province, and walked into the experimental field.

The general secretary encouraged the researchers: "The breeding cycle of good rice varieties is long, which requires repeated trials and screening. The vast number of agricultural science and technology workers in our country have made arduous efforts and made important contributions to ensuring national food security and ensuring that the people are well-fed and well-fed, and they have contributed greatly."

　　Facing the future, in order to achieve high-quality and green development in agriculture, it is necessary to solidly open up the channels for technology to enter the village and households, so that agricultural technology can serve the vast number of farmers, and ultimately transform into green, high-quality and efficient food through the hard work of farmers. product.

As General Secretary Xi Jinping said: "To promote agricultural modernization, we must rely not only on agricultural experts, but also on the vast number of farmers."
