[Innovator Says].
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized that it is necessary to accelerate the construction of an agricultural power and solidly promote the revitalization of rural industries, talents, culture, ecology and organizations. Throughout the world, an agricultural power must be a strong country in agricultural science and technology innovation. Strengthening innovation in agricultural science and technology is the key to improving the efficiency and quality of agricultural production, and is of great importance to ensuring China's food security, the supply of important agricultural products, and building an agricultural power.
Agricultural science and technology innovation talents are the key support for building an agricultural power, and they must have the ability and quality to take on important responsibilities. I have been engaged in agricultural innovation research and pig breeding for more than 40 years. In my opinion, if you want to become an agricultural science and technology innovation talent, you must have a lot of professional knowledge and be on the front line of production. Taking pig farming as an example, only by being truly familiar with the various production links of pig farms can we find problems and obtain research results that can be applied to actual production and improve production efficiency. To this end, I ask students not only to do a good job of experiments and write scientific research**, but more importantly, everyone must go to the front line. If you want to innovate, you first need to be down-to-earth and master the basic skills.
If you want to become an agricultural science and technology innovation talent, you must also have a sense of innovation and different thinking, and keep abreast of the latest agricultural science and technology theories and methods. Modern agriculture has entered a new stage of intelligence, and many studies need to learn from new technologies from other disciplines to carry out multidisciplinary cross-integration research. For example, smart pig breeding needs to be combined with computer big data. I always encourage my students to communicate more with scholars in other fields and participate in more international academic conferences, so as to further cultivate innovative thinking and realize the application of interdisciplinary disciplines in the field of agriculture.
In recent years, the state has continuously improved the system and mechanism for the cultivation of agricultural science and technology talents, actively built a system of agricultural science and technology talents, and strengthened policy support for talent training. As scientific research workers of the older generation, we must vigorously train and select young talents. Young people are active in thinking and creative, and we should provide them with conditions, encourage them to carry out innovative research, and cultivate the soil for cultivating agricultural science and technology innovation talents.
Once you've laid the foundation, you'll be able to figure out how to produce results. Based on my years of experience in scientific research, I need to do three things:
First, agricultural researchers must pay close attention to the major national needs in the agricultural field and the urgent needs of the industry, and dare to question and be good at asking questions. Only by seeking differences can we break the shackles of habitual thinking, discover novel scientific problems from a unique and keen perspective, and make new inventions and discoveries emerge.
Second, the vision of agricultural researchers should not be limited to traditional agriculture, but also need to pay more attention to related fields, carry out more interdisciplinary exploration, learn from each other's strengths, learn from each other, and help to better make agricultural innovation achievements.
Third, agricultural scientific research personnel must persevere, not be afraid of difficulties, and bravely climb new heights. The road of scientific research is lonely and arduous, and there will be various setbacks and difficulties. Only when we always maintain the tenacity of "insisting on the green mountains and not relaxing" and the hard work of "not breaking Loulan and never returning", can we "keep the clouds open and see the moon".
