The rice transplanter can operate thirty to forty acres of land in one day; for drone plant protection operations, one person can manage 200 acres of land in one day...

　　On March 19, in Gangzhongping Village, Xiejiapu Town, Dingcheng District, Changde City, Hunan Province, Dai Hong, a major grain grower, welcomed a special guest at home - General Secretary Xi Jinping. Faced with the General Secretary's concern about agricultural machinery and spring plowing materials, Dai Hong introduced his family's "grain-growing equipment" in detail.

　　Of all things, eating is the most important thing. In his first local inspection after the National Two Sessions, Xi Jinping went deep into the fields to talk about farming and observe the actual situation. There is a big realistic background behind it.

　　More than a billion people need to eat, which is China’s biggest national condition. "How many days have Chinese people not been hungry?" "Who will feed China?" Xi Jinping once warned that there should be no carelessness when it comes to food security.

　　As of 2023, China's grain production has achieved "twenty consecutive harvests". Just this month, during the National Two Sessions, China once again set an annual target of "grain production of more than 1.3 trillion kilograms."

　　However, at a time when uncertain factors are becoming more and more complex, figuring out the "food" policy for a major country to ensure a stable job is still a major issue that cannot be slacked off.

　　Hold the rice bowl firmly in your own hands and let the Chinese people’s rice bowls be mainly filled with Chinese food. "Land" and "technology" are the two key levers. Xi Jinping has emphasized many times that the strategy of storing food in the land and storing food in technology should be truly implemented.

　　"Earth" is the root. China accounts for 9% of the world's arable land and 6% of its freshwater resources, and supports nearly one-fifth of the world's population. There is no doubt about the importance of arable land. Strictly observing the red lines of cultivated land and building high-standard farmland are top priorities that Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized.

　　During this inspection in Hunan, Xi Jinping requested that the spring sowing area should be ensured and spring field management be refined; high-standard farmland should be built and moderate-scale operations be implemented; and intensive farming should be worked hard to further increase grain yield and quality.

　　“Technology” is the way out. The fundamental way to solve the food problem lies in science and technology. There is only so much arable land, so the fundamental way to stabilize and increase production is still in science and technology. To ensure food security, leading agricultural technology is the greatest confidence.

　　During his inspection in Hunan, Xi Jinping emphasized that we should seize the two key points of seeds and cultivated land to speed up the research on key core technologies of the seed industry and agricultural machinery; adhere to the big agricultural concept and the big food concept, actively develop characteristic agriculture and agricultural product processing industry, and improve the level of agricultural industrialization. .

　　Of course, there is "land" and "skills", and the question of "who will farm the land" needs to be answered.

　　"Let growing grain also make you rich, thereby attracting more farmers to participate in the development of modern large-scale agriculture, and truly making the road to agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics steady and solid." Xi Jinping pointed out the key to rural economic and social development.
