Our country agriculture is big but not strong, much but not excellent
Nearly ten thousand years ago, the Neolithic Chinese nation opened the origin of agricultural development and established a huge agricultural country. Today, China is still a well-deserved "agricultural power" in the world, but it is difficult to become an "agricultural power", our farmer friends work hard every day, but still at the bottom of the social income.
The concept of an agricultural power
The core of agricultural power is strong agricultural competitiveness, which requires improving productivity and yield per mu. This will inevitably require us to innovate and upgrade agricultural production technology, production mode and production tools to achieve a closer combination of science and technology and agriculture. At present, China is a big agricultural country, but there is still a lot of room for development from agricultural power.
"Strong agriculture", as the construction goal of agricultural power, is the result of output efficiency, scientific and technological innovation, international competition and other multi-dimensional synthesis. From the perspective of modernization, agricultural power is based on the historical process of agricultural modernization and international comparison of several key indicators of agricultural development (output level of important agricultural products, agricultural labor productivity, proportion of agricultural fixed capital formation, etc.).
If the modernization level of a country's agriculture as a whole or its advantageous sectors ranks in the forefront of the world and can lead the world's agricultural development, it can be called an agricultural power. To understand the connotation of agricultural power, we need to grasp the following three aspects.
1. From the perspective of resource conditions, agricultural powers are distributed in regions with different resource types. In North America and Oceania, where per capita land resources are abundant, there are agricultural powers such as the United States, Canada and Australia; In Europe, where per capita land resources are moderate, there are France, Germany, Italy and other agricultural powers; In Asia, where per capita land resources are scarce, there are agricultural powers such as Israel and Japan.
2, from the perspective of development stage, agricultural modernization is the foundation and premise of building an agricultural power, but the realization of agricultural modernization does not necessarily mean the completion of an agricultural power. Agricultural modernization is the universal law and the only way for agricultural development in various countries and regions, but even if agricultural modernization is realized, only countries that are leading in international comparison and have greater influence can be called agricultural powers.
3, from the main types, agricultural power can be divided into two categories: comprehensive type and characteristic type. The United States and other countries with rich land resources belong to comprehensive agricultural power because of the high output level and rich categories of major agricultural products such as grain. Some countries with relatively scarce land resources, such as Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, etc., have become a characteristic agricultural power based on the competitive advantages of specific sectors such as milk and products, flowers, fruits and vegetables.
Accelerate the strategic path of building an agricultural power
1. Consolidating the foundation for ensuring supply for domestic agricultural production
In order to cope with the complex international situation, we must not be constrained in ensuring the supply of food and important agricultural products. Building a food security system from the perspective of "land, technology, justice and interests" can be understood as maintaining the quantity of cultivated land and improving the quality of cultivated land. Improving support for agricultural scientific and technological equipment; Strengthening political responsibility for food security; We will improve mechanisms to compensate farmers and production and marketing areas for food security.
Accelerate the transformation from "small ration concept" to "big food concept", and build a diversified food supply system. We will strengthen the development of a circulation and reserve system for grain and important agricultural products, foster multi-level and diversified reserve entities, and enhance the ability of reserves to regulate and guarantee the market. At the same time, we will innovate the systems and mechanisms for the free flow and equal exchange of industrial, agricultural and rural factors, and guide more modern factors to flow into agriculture and rural areas.
2. Increasing the global influence and voice of agriculture
To build China as an agricultural power, we should avoid Western countries manipulating world food prices through transnational grain merchants and undermining the relationship between global food supply and demand. We should keep the world in mind, promote high-quality and high-level agricultural cooperation with other countries in an all-round way, and jointly build a "community of human destiny" in the agricultural field.
We should continue to strengthen international trade consultation and cooperation, expand new channels of international trade in all aspects, and strengthen and jointly build the Belt and Road Initiative. We will actively participate in global food and agriculture governance and jointly formulate international standard rules. Carry out infrastructure construction and international cooperation in the field of agriculture, and strengthen the ability to control the global agricultural industrial chain and supply chain.
Encourage enterprises to "go global" and cultivate international grain merchants and transnational agricultural enterprises; Support services to "go out", promote the seed industry, agricultural machinery and equipment to the global layout; Promote the brand to "go out", and build an international brand with global influence; We will speed up the "going out" of our products and let the export of high-value-added agricultural products actively participate in global competition.
3. Accelerating self-reliance in agricultural science and technology
In response to the constraints faced by agricultural scientific and technological innovation and potential risks such as technological monopoly and long-arm jurisdiction, we must give priority to the development of agricultural science and technology, ensure self-reliance, autonomy and control, support agriculture with modern science and technology, and arm agriculture with modern equipment.
Strengthen the supply of agricultural science and technology innovation policies, improve the mechanism for ensuring diversified investment in agricultural science and technology, and stimulate more market forces to invest in agricultural science and technology innovation. We will make innovations in the mode of transforming agricultural scientific and technological achievements and spreading them, accelerate the deep integration of industry, universities and research institutes, and promote the early conversion of advanced technologies and practical equipment into real productive forces.
4. Improving the resilience and safety of the agricultural industry chain
It is necessary to accelerate the establishment of a modern agricultural industrial system, production system, and management system, promote the high-quality development of the whole industrial chain such as modern farming, processing, distribution, and sales, and constantly improve the quality and efficiency of agriculture and its competitiveness, and continue to improve the resilience and safety of the industrial chain.
Relying on the construction of strong towns in agricultural industry, modern agricultural industrial parks and advantageous industrial clusters, combined with the development of rural leisure tourism, e-commerce and other industries, we will constantly cultivate new industries, new formats and new models, strive to improve the level of industrial integration and development, create agricultural brands with market influence and discourse power, further extend the industrial chain, enhance the value chain and stabilize the supply chain.
We will make the development of the agricultural industry more inclusive, so that ordinary people become participants in the construction of the agricultural industrial chain and supply chain, and ensure that vulnerable groups can afford and enjoy high-quality and affordable agricultural products.
5. Accelerating the green transformation of agricultural production development
It is necessary to strengthen policy support with agricultural green technology innovation as the main direction, and accelerate core technology research, product research and development, and the transformation of results. We will vigorously support the development of green and circular agriculture, continue to promote the utilization of livestock and poultry manure as resources, implement comprehensive utilization of straw, and promote the recycling of waste agricultural film and pesticide and fertilizer packaging waste.
We will continue to reduce the amount of fertilizers and pesticides and increase their efficiency, promote the application of efficient fertilizer application technologies, and integrate innovative green pest prevention and control technologies. Strengthen the people's awareness of green consumption, improve the value guarantee system for green agricultural products, ensure that "high quality and high prices" are achieved, and force production and business entities to consciously promote the transformation and upgrading of agricultural production and development modes through market mechanisms.
The practical significance of accelerating the construction of agricultural power
Judging from the development law of the world's modern powers, a truly powerful country must be supported by strong agriculture, and there has never been a truly powerful country that relies on others to eat. This is because agriculture is related to the rice bowl, is a basic industry for the security of the world and the stability of the people, the foundation is not solid, no matter how gorgeous the modern building is not comprehensive, incomplete and unstable. The truly powerful countries in the world, the countries with no weaknesses, have the ability to solve their own food problems.
1. Meet the people's needs for a better life
In the period of shortage economy and insufficient supply, it is the most urgent need to enlarge the scale of agriculture and solve the problem of "no". With the fundamental change of this situation, the people's needs for a better life have also developed and changed, and the problem of large but not strong agriculture has become more prominent.
Whether it is to achieve increased production and income of rural residents, or to respond to the diversified needs and nostalgia of urban residents for agriculture, we need to promote the leap from a large agricultural country to an agricultural power, by expanding the multiple functions of agriculture and enhancing the diversified value of rural areas, so that people have more sense of gain, happiness and security.
2, to better achieve high-quality development
The biggest imbalance in China's development is the unbalanced development of urban and rural areas, and the biggest insufficiency is the inadequate development of rural areas. This imbalance not only restricts the release of the potential of China's ultra-large scale market, but also affects the healthy and sustainable operation of the double cycle. Accelerating the construction of an agricultural power is an important driving force to solve this problem.
3. Consolidate the foundation of national security
In recent years, in the face of COVID-19, geopolitical conflicts, extreme weather, global market turbulence and other risks and challenges, we have been able to maintain the momentum of steady and sound development. The support and strength of our economy lie in the steady increase in agricultural output, rural harmony and stability, and farmers' peace and contentment. The steady movement of hundreds of millions of migrant workers between urban and rural areas is based on evidence and stability, and we have a solid rural, rural and rural rear.
However, China's future development will inevitably encounter high winds and waves, and it is more necessary to speed up the construction of an agricultural power, ensure the safety of life and survival of the extremely important national security, the construction of the vast rural area, which accounts for most of China's total land area, and develop the rural population, which accounts for more than one-third of China's total population. With the achievements of the construction of a strong agricultural country, we will build the cornerstone of the road to Chinese-style modernization.
