Fourth, adapt to the changes in policy adjustmentPolicy adjustment has an important impact on peasants' production and livelihood. In 2024, the national and local governments will continue to introduce a series of policies and measures to support agricultural and rural development. Farmers need to keep abreast of policy developments and reasonably enjoy policy support. At the same time, it actively participates in the process of policy formulation, expresses its own demands and suggestions, and provides strong support for the improvement and implementation of policies.
5. The mission of promoting the comprehensive revitalization of rural areasThe comprehensive revitalization of the countryside is a sacred mission entrusted to farmers in the new era.
