In the context of China's rapid social and economic development, the situation and problems faced by rural work are complex and diverse. The acceleration of the process of urban-rural integration has undoubtedly brought unprecedented opportunities to rural areas, but at the same time, it has also brought a series of new challenges and traditional problems that need to be solved urgently. These issues are intertwined and together constitute a series of checkpoints on the road of China's rural development.
First of all, the problems in the process of agricultural modernization have attracted attention. Although the level of agricultural science and technology in China is constantly improving, and new agricultural machinery and intelligent agricultural technology are gradually popularized, there is still a certain gap compared with developed countries. There is still a lot of room for improvement in the degree of agricultural mechanization and intelligence, and the efficiency and competitiveness of agricultural production need to be further enhanced. At the same time, the aging of farmland water conservancy facilities is becoming increasingly prominent, the land circulation mechanism is not perfect, and the cultivation of new agricultural operators needs to be strengthened, all of which have restricted the process of agricultural modernization to a certain extent.
Second, the problem of brain drain and aging in rural areas is becoming increasingly severe. With the acceleration of urbanization, a large number of young and middle-aged rural laborers have migrated to cities in search of better life and development opportunities, resulting in a serious loss of human resources in rural areas and the emergence of the so-called "hollowing-out" phenomenon. The problem of left-behind elderly and children is becoming increasingly prominent, which not only puts pressure on the social security system in rural areas, but also imbalances the structure of human resources in rural areas, affecting the sustainable development of rural economy and society.
Moreover, rural environmental problems cannot be ignored. The problem of agricultural non-point source pollution is particularly serious, and soil degradation and water pollution caused by the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have attracted widespread attention. At the same time, the construction of rural domestic garbage and sewage treatment facilities is lagging behind, and the environmental sanitation conditions are poor, which directly affects the quality of life and health and safety of farmers, and also restricts the development of green industries such as rural tourism.
In addition, the development of the rural economy is facing difficulties. Industrial structure single.
The relatively lagging development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries is a major bottleneck in the current rural economic development, and the channels for increasing farmers' incomes are limited, and the income gap between urban and rural areas is still large. There are still obvious shortcomings in rural infrastructure construction and public service supply, which also restricts the improvement of the overall production and living standards in rural areas.
There are also problems in the area of rural social governance. The construction of grassroots organizations needs to be further strengthened, the ability of villagers to govern themselves needs to be effectively improved, and the task of building the rule of law in rural areas is arduous. Social contradictions and disputes occur from time to time in some rural areas, which not only affects the harmony and stability of rural society, but also brings challenges to the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy.
Finally, the protection and inheritance of rural culture also deserves attention. In the tide of globalization and modernization, how to effectively protect and inherit rural traditional culture, folk customs and intangible cultural heritage while promoting the construction of rural material civilization has become a crucial topic.
To sum up, in the face of such complex rural situations and problems, we must fully implement the rural revitalization strategy, adhere to the principle of giving priority to the development of agriculture and rural areas, and actively promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas, so as to achieve high quality and efficiency of agriculture, livable and workable villages, and prosperity of farmers. Only in this way can we truly solve the problem of rural development and create a road of rural revitalization with Chinese characteristics.
