Commentator for Xinhua News Agency
For a country with a population of 1.4 billion, it is always true to have food in hand and not to panic in the heart. The Central Economic Work Conference made important arrangements to address the problems of seeds and arable land as one of the key tasks for the coming year. In order to ensure food security and implement the strategy of storing grains in the ground and storing grains in technology, he pointed out the direction of efforts.
If the base is not strong, the ground will shake. Cereal production is the basis of the national economy and cultivated land is the basis of food production. China’s arable land resources are scarce, the quality is not high, and the pollution situation is dire. These are long-term constraints on China’s food security. The basic national conditions of more people and less land determine that we must protect arable land like the giant panda, and firmly maintain the red line of 1.8 billion mu of arable land. To store grain in the ground, basic farmland is required to be a farmer, and to grow grain, we must resolutely curb the “non-agriculturalization” of cultivated land, prevent “no hail”, standardize the balance of cultivated land, and do not determine the use of cultivated land based solely on economic benefits. In particular, it is necessary to ensure that the 1.4 billion mu of the three main cereal areas only increase and not decrease, ensure that arable land is mainly used for the production of cereals and diversified food, and always stabilize the rice bowl of China and build a solid barn for the great country.
It should be noted that the decrease in the amount of arable land in China in recent years is due both to accelerating urbanization and industrialization and to land use, as well as the fact that land is not economical and intensive. Therefore, we must resolutely say “no” to urban posts and precincts, and adhere to the three control lines of ecological protection, permanent basic agricultural land and urban development limits. In order to effectively stabilize the basic arable land, we must make great efforts to build a national food safety industry belt, strengthen the high-level agricultural land construction, strengthen the agricultural land water conservation construction, implement the project national black soil protection and strive to improve the supply and assurance of important and minor food and agricultural products. It is necessary to strengthen the control of agricultural nonpoint source pollution, and do a solid job of zero growth in the use of fertilizers and pesticides, pollution control of livestock and poultry farming and recycling of agricultural residues, in order to further consolidate the foundations for sustainable agricultural development.
The exit from agriculture is in modernization and the key to agricultural modernization is in technological progress. Storing food in technology is giving modern agriculture the wings of technology. High quality, high efficiency, low consumption, low emissions, high efficiency and organic food production methods are the only way to increase the added value of agriculture and farmers’ income on the supply side, and the unavoidable choice to meet people’s demand for high-quality food on the demand side.
The seed industry is called “chip” of agriculture. As an important starting point for high-quality agricultural development, improved seeds are also the key to enhance the international competitiveness of China’s agriculture. In recent years, China has made remarkable progress in food science and technology, achieving self-sufficiency in the two main ration crops of rice and wheat, and leading the world in hybrid rice. However, the level of selection and breeding of vegetables and livestock and poultry in China is not high, and it is urgent to continue advancing research on livestock and poultry crops and varieties. It is necessary to respect science, strictly supervise, advance in an orderly manner, take full advantage of the system, strengthen the “grand alliance” and “grand collaboration”, overcome a number of key common technical difficulties, solve a number of problems of ” neck jammed “, integrate and innovate a number of practical models and cultivate Several major varieties with independent intellectual property rights have allowed China’s key crop and livestock breeding innovation capabilities to approach or reach the international first-class level , really win the seed industry battle, keep China’s seed industry safe, and provide strong support to stabilize China’s rice bowl.
Farmers are the fundamental force for agricultural and rural development. The key to storing grains in the ground and storing grains in technology is to play the main role of farmers. We must adhere to the dominant status of farmers, effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of farmers, vigorously cultivate new professional farmers, continuously improve farmers’ sense of profit, happiness and security, and effectively mobilize enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of hundreds of millions of farmers to promote agricultural development and promotion. Rural revitalization injected increasing momentum.
