Recently, the first rural work conference was held in Beijing to analyze the current situation and challenges faced by the "three rural" work and deploy the "three rural" work in 2024. A strong country must first strengthen agriculture, and only when agriculture is strong can the country be strong. **The general secretary stressed at the meeting: "To promote Chinese-style modernization, we must unremittingly consolidate the foundation of agriculture and promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside. "A strong agricultural country is the foundation of a strong modern socialist country, and promoting agricultural modernization is an inevitable requirement for achieving high-quality development. Rural revitalization is a basic project to build an agricultural power, and it must be implemented and solidly promoted. Anchoring the goal of building an agricultural power, it is necessary to take the promotion of comprehensive rural revitalization as the general starting point of the "three rural" work in the new era and new journey, adapt measures to local conditions, implement classified policies, step by step, and work for a long time, solidly and effectively promote the implementation of key tasks in various fields, and strive to create a new situation in promoting the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas.
**The general secretary pointed out that "industrial revitalization is the top priority of rural revitalization, and it is also the entry point of practical work. In rural areas where there is no industry, it is difficult to gather popularity, let alone retain talent, the way for peasants to increase their incomes cannot be broadened, and it is difficult to carry out cultural activities." China's traditional agriculture has the characteristics of "small, scattered and miscellaneous", and there are a large number of small farmers. Therefore, to promote industrial revitalization, it is necessary to solve the current obstacles to the advancement of agricultural modernization, industrialization and mechanization, on the one hand, actively promote the circulation of rural land, merge small fields operated by families into large fields suitable for farm planting, unified planning, and planting on demand. At the same time, it is characterized by regional agricultural products, and develops geographical indication brand agricultural products according to local conditions to keep farmers' "money bags". On the other hand, it will continue to give birth to new formats and new models of the agricultural industry to promote the first.
The integration of primary, secondary and tertiary industries will extend the agricultural industrial chain, extend from planting and breeding to primary processing and intensive processing, and continuously improve the added value of agricultural products. At the same time, it will promote the creative transformation and innovative development of rural culture, focusing on "living, traveling, raising and entertainment", transforming ecological resources and ecological culture into tourism products and tourism services, and creating a new tourism model integrating pastoral scenery, landscape atmosphere, humanistic characteristics and intangible cultural heritage.
Increasing peasants' incomes is the key to agricultural and rural work. **The general secretary stressed that it is necessary to persist in taking increasing peasants' incomes as the central task of the "three rural" work, and do everything possible to broaden the channels for peasants to increase their incomes and get rich. In the process of rural revitalization, the peasant masses are not only the beneficiaries, but also the important participants, builders and supervisors. To expand farmers' income, on the basis of ensuring basic production income and labor income, we can increase policy subsidies for rural revitalization and increase policy incomeContinue to promote the transfer and affiliation of ownership, management rights and income rights of rural land, houses and forest rights, and expand property income;Increase the support for farmers in terms of technology, market, and capital, and enrich operating income. At the same time, the goal should be shifted to the "main force" of rural revitalization, focusing on the development of new professional farmers. Young people are the innovative force for industrial development and the majestic driving force for rural revitalization. Whether it is the development of digital agriculture, smart agriculture, or the creation of leisure and cultural tourism agriculture and ecological agriculture, it relies on the professional theoretical knowledge and broad horizons of young people. By promoting "youth going to the countryside", strengthening labor education in colleges and universities, establishing a correct concept of labor, and practicing the labor practice of hard work, young college students can have the dream of rural revitalization, settle in the countryside with professional skills and sufficient enthusiasm, hoe in the fields, water the abundant flowers with their own sweat, and contribute to the revitalization of the countryside.
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to "build a livable, workable and beautiful village". Hemei rural construction focuses on both "hardware" and "software". On the one hand, on the basis of ensuring the basic living conditions of farmers, focusing on improving and optimizing the village environment, and guided by the construction of livable villages, we should pay attention to strengthening the construction of inclusive, comprehensive and basic people's livelihood. Strengthen the construction of infrastructure in key areas such as roads, water supply, energy, logistics, informatization, comprehensive services, rural housing, and rural human settlements, build digital villages, and do a good job in the construction of corresponding new infrastructure in digital government affairs, rural e-commerce, and agricultural informatizationImprove the rural organization system, service system, and guarantee system, and improve rural public services and rural governance. On the other hand, China is a big agricultural country with a long history of farming culture, which is buried in the blood genes of the Chinese nation. To promote the construction of livable, workable and beautiful villages, we must persist in grasping both material civilization and spiritual civilization. Actively cultivate the civilization of rural customs, strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization in rural areas, continue to promote the change of customs in rural areas, build civilized rural customs, good family customs and simple folk customs, and achieve spiritual prosperity while achieving material prosperity.
The issue of agriculture and rural peasants is a fundamental issue that has a bearing on the national economy and the people's livelihood, and we must always regard the solution of the "three rural" issues as the top priority of the whole party's work. Adhere to the big historical view to look at the "three rural" issues, adhere to the priority development of agriculture and rural areas, adhere to the integrated development of urban and rural areas, based on national conditions and agricultural conditions, take the road of socialist rural revitalization with Chinese characteristics, focus on optimizing industrial upgrading, improve the well-being of farmers, improve the rural environment, and constantly promote high-quality and efficient agriculture, livable and workable villages, and rich and prosperous farmers, so as to accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas, accelerate the construction of an agricultural power, and provide a solid foundation for the construction of a modern socialist power.
