Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 16 (Reporter Yu Wenjing) In 2023, the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences will accelerate scientific and technological innovation in six major areas, focusing on innovation in the seed industry, scientific and technological innovation in the protection and utilization of cultivated land, improvement of shortcomings in agricultural machinery and equipment, and agricultural biosafety research. Intensify efforts in areas such as technology supply for agricultural green development and technology support for rural development.
Wu Kongming, a member of the party group of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and president of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said at the 2023 work conference of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences on the 16th that this year it will be guided by high-quality and comprehensive support for the construction of a strong agricultural country, and continue to build a national agricultural science and technology strategic force.
Promote the reform of "holding up the institutes to grasp major issues", accelerate the optimization of the layout of disciplines and scientific research forces, strengthen the overall allocation of scientific and technological resources such as human, financial, and material resources, strengthen basic research, key core technologies, and equipment research, accelerate the integration of science, education, and science and industry, and expand International exchanges and cooperation in agricultural science and technology, enhance the overall ability to support the stable and safe supply of food and important agricultural products, and comprehensively promote rural revitalization.
The specific deployment of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences to accelerate scientific and technological innovation in six major areas is:
Strengthen the innovation and research of the seed industry, strengthen the protection, identification and utilization of germplasm resources, excavate important value genes, cultivate excellent new varieties, strengthen the research and development and industrial application of biological breeding technology, select and breed new varieties of multi-cropped crops in the south, and accelerate the development of improved livestock and poultry varieties Localization of animal and large animal species, and accelerate the realization of independent and controllable sources of important species.
Strengthen the innovation of cultivated land protection and utilization of science and technology, work hard on "protecting black soil, fertilizing and dry land, preventing acidification, preserving water fields, improving salinity, strengthening facilities, and tapping potential", make breakthroughs in key technologies, provide system solutions, and create demonstration models.
Strengthen agricultural machinery and equipment to make up for shortcomings, focus on intelligent grain equipment, independent key core technologies of cotton and oil equipment, weak links and comprehensive regional production equipment, research and develop new agricultural facilities and equipment, promote Gobi facility agriculture pilots, and build agricultural machinery that adapts to national conditions and agricultural conditions equipment system.
Strengthen agricultural biosecurity research, and systematically carry out monitoring and early warning, rapid detection, comprehensive prevention and control, and strategic research on risk factors such as alien species invasion, plant diseases, insect pests, and livestock and poultry diseases, microbial drug resistance, and biotechnology environmental safety.
Strengthen the supply of agricultural green development technology, research and promote green and low-carbon farming technologies and products around the efficient use of agricultural resources, scientific use of inputs, and clean production environment.
Strengthen scientific and technological support for rural development, research and develop rural living environment governance technologies, and research digital rural governance and rural scientific planning.
