Listening to the song of frogs in the fragrance of rice blossoms, small bridges and flowing water... In Jiangsu, the land of fish and rice, modern pastoral water towns are gradually taking shape. Recently, a reporter from the China News Agency visited many villages in southern Jiangsu to feel the vigorous growth of the new rural collective economy here.
Greening of the ecological environment: the fertile soil of the water town has regained vitality
"Rice paddies have been free of pesticides and fertilizers for more than 10 years." Zhao Yafu, a researcher at Daizhuang Organic Agriculture Professional Cooperative in Tianwang Town, Jurong City, Zhenjiang, and local villagers explored an ecological cycle farming model in which mountains, water, forests, fields, lakes and grasses coexist.
Zhao Yafu said: "Through this model, from an economic point of view, agricultural efficiency has improved, and farmers' wallets have bulged; From the perspective of sustainable development, it not only preserves green waters and mountains, but also effectively restores biodiversity. ”
In Suzhou's Jiangxiang village, regular paddy fields surrounded by greenery are covered with green ping.
"This is a pollution-free green manure, which can make the land more fertile and the crops grow better." According to Chang Desheng, first secretary of the party committee of Jiangxiang Village, the village has long adhered to the model of "rice, duck, geese and yellow eels working together". "Ducks, geese and water birds roam the fields to feed, which not only reduces pests and diseases, but also makes the land naturally fertile, and the organic rice grown is very popular in the market."
Abandon the extensive use of traditional fertilizers and increase yields with modern agricultural farming techniques. According to statistics from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Jiangsu Province, by the end of 2021, the use of chemical fertilizers in the province had negative growth for 12 consecutive years, and the use of pesticides had been negative for 16 consecutive years.
Land resource intensification: scientific planning and cohesive development

Small bridges, flowing water, white walls, Dewa windows... In Shanquan Village, Zhouzhuang Town, Jiangyin City, such a Jiangnan village residence makes viewers envious, behind which is the painstaking operation of Li Quanxing, secretary of the party committee and director of the village committee of Shanquan Village, and others for many years.
In 2009, Shanquan Village took the lead in participating in the local rural "three replacement" reform pilot work. "On the basis of respecting the wishes of farmers and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of farmers, we transfer the land of villagers to the village collective, so that everyone can move into carefully built small villas and multi-storey residential buildings." Li Quanxing told reporters, "Under the premise of satisfying the land use of the living environment, the land layout in the village is readjusted, and it is divided into three parts: living area, production area and ecological area to plan and develop simultaneously." ”
Jiangxiang Village, with a village area of 3 square kilometers, has also undergone a process of land intensification. "If there is less land, it is more necessary to 'cultivate meticulously'." Chang Desheng introduced that through land circulation, cultivated land is connected into large areas, which is more suitable for mechanized production. In the past, low-lying land has been transformed into ecological lakes, surrounded by green forests and flowers, transformed into ecological parks, and cultural tourism has also developed.
"Jiangxiang Village has started from agriculture and industry, and now it is a tourist and ecological beauty." Chang Desheng said.
In the "14th Five-Year Plan" planting industry development plan issued by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Jiangsu Province, it is proposed that the province will continue to strive to improve the number and quality of professional farmers, and accelerate the development of land concentration and unified service-oriented scale operation with production and operation cooperation and land share cooperation as the main methods.
Humanization of grassroots management: dream of home co-governance and sharing

"The elderly over 60 years old in the village account for 26.1% of the total population of the village, and the elderly life must also keep up with the pace of the times." Chang Desheng introduced that with the completion of the three-star standard elderly apartment in Jiangxiang Village, the elderly can stay with their bags for free, and farmers' restaurants, medical service stations, and nursing homes surround the apartment.
Nowadays, Jiangxiang Village has also set up cultural places such as farmers' theaters, cultural center squares, reading rooms, etc., and the village has organized villagers to participate in reading activities for many years. "It is to make everyone's money bags bulge, but also their heads 'rich'."
In Shanquan Village, the villagers' "sharing center" adhering to the principle of "available to everyone, available to everyone, and enjoyed by everyone" has been built and operated, providing high-quality and inexpensive catering banquets, shopping in supermarkets and other services; The "co-construction center" that encourages everyone to participate is also being upgraded.
Rural revitalization has always been on the road, with twists and turns and hope. Mr. Fei Xiaotong, a well-known Chinese sociologist who wrote "Jiangcun Economy" in southern Jiangsu, once wrote, "My fathers and fellow villagers in my hometown have lived up to this great year and laid the foundation for further development in the future." I believe this foundation is strong because its roots are deeply rooted in thousands of homes, it will grow, it will bear fruit. (End)
