I believe that we should often hear the word "agriculture, agriculture, and agriculture" in recent years, and may occasionally brush up on the national agricultural assistance measures, why should China pay so much attention to agriculture?
The main reasons why China attaches so much importance to agriculture and carry out the work of agriculture, agriculture and agriculture are as follows:
The first is to ensure food security.
If the country's food is heavily dependent on the outside, once the international situation changes or a conflict occurs, other countries may restrict or stop China's agricultural products, resulting in domestic food shortages and threatening the country's food security. The instability of the food chain will directly affect the basic living needs of the people and social stability.
The second is to safeguard economic sovereignty and security
Agriculture is the foundation of the national economy, and agriculture is the pillar of China's national economy, providing the country with food, raw materials and other necessities, and providing support for the development of industry and service industries. If the country's agriculture is in the hands of other countries and loses control, it means that the important economic lifeline is manipulated by other countries, which may lead to the erosion of the country's economic sovereignty and the control of economic policies. Agriculture is closely linked to national defense, especially in times of war or emergency, where food self-sufficiency is essential, and the loss of control of agriculture is equivalent to a reduction in the country's strategic reserves and emergency response capabilities.
The third is to ensure employment and social stability.
China has a large population, and agriculture is the main employment in China's vast areas, especially in rural areas, and is an important way for rural economic development. Rural economic development is one of the important tasks of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. Developing agriculture, increasing farmers' incomes, and promoting rural economic development are important ways to achieve rural revitalization and promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas. If foreign countries control agriculture, it may cause a large number of peasants in China to lose their jobs, which will further aggravate the gap between urban and rural areas and the imbalance in regional development, and affect social stability.
Fourth, ensure the healthy development of related industries and technologies
Agriculture involves many upstream and downstream links, including planting, breeding, processing, sales, etc., if the control falls into the hands of other countries, it may lead to the rupture of the industrial chain and affect the healthy development of related industries. At the same time, some core technologies and excellent varieties may be controlled by foreign enterprises, which will lead to a decline in China's local agricultural technology research and development and innovation capabilities, which is not conducive to the development and progress of China's agricultural science and technology in the long run.
Therefore, China attaches great importance to agriculture, carries out the work of agriculture, rural areas and rural areas, and promotes agricultural modernization, rural revitalization, and farmers' income increase through policy support, capital investment, scientific and technological innovation, etc., in order to ensure national food security and the integrity and independence of the agricultural industry chain.
