**The Rural Work Conference was held in Beijing from the 19th to the 20th. The meeting implemented the spirit of the first economic work conference, analyzed the current situation and challenges faced by the "three rural" work, and deployed the "three rural" work in 2024. This year's ** Rural Work Conference proposed to anchor the goal of building an agricultural power, do a good job in the production of grain and important agricultural products, and ensure that the grain output in 2024 remains at 1More than 3 trillion catties. How do you accomplish these tasks?Let's take a look at what the experts have to say.
In 2023, China's grain output will hit a record high, with a total grain output of 13,908200 million catties, stable at 1 for 9 consecutive yearsMore than 3 trillion catties. Experts said that to ensure food security and increase grain production capacity, we must first ensure the quality and quantity of cultivated land. In the first 10 months of this year, the country completed the task of high-standard farmland construction of 60.5 million mu, and in the future, it is necessary to improve the construction investment standard and reform and improve the system of arable land occupation and compensation.
Zhong Yu, a researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Development, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences: The future will be 15The 4.6 billion mu of basic farmland has been gradually built into high-standard farmland, and of course, in the process, the construction standards must be raised. Exploring the establishment of an inter-provincial horizontal interest compensation mechanism in grain production and marketing areas and making the grain industry economy bigger and stronger will also help to maintain the red line of our cultivated land.
Experts said that from the source to ensure national food security, but also to strengthen scientific and technological innovation, the current coverage rate of China's crop varieties reached more than 96%, the future to cultivate drought-resistant, waterlogging-resistant, insect-resistant, disease-resistant and other new varieties, accelerate the construction of smart agricultural infrastructure, as well as the promotion and application of new technologies and new equipment.
Sun Chuanfan, Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: Focusing on biological breeding, cultivated land productivity improvement, comprehensive utilization of saline-alkali land, the creation of applicable agricultural machinery, and the research and development of agricultural water-saving technology and equipment, the implementation of seed industry revitalization actions, scientific and technological innovation 2030 major projects, national key research and development plans, etc., to provide stronger scientific and technological support for the construction of an agricultural power.
Experts said that it is necessary to establish a big food concept, expand from cultivated land resources to all-round and multi-channel food resources, and vigorously develop non-arable land resources such as saline-alkali land, rivers and lakes, oceans, forests, and grasslands.
Zhang Lin, a researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Development of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that to build agriculture into a modern industry, from the traditional agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery and other single production links to the whole chain of agricultural product processing, warehousing and preservation, logistics and distribution, brand marketing, etc., it is necessary to integrate research in the fields of biological breeding, facility agriculture, digital agriculture, and new food manufacturing.
