Committee Living Room丨How can Henan make efforts to stabilize food safety production and accelerate the construction of a strong agricultural province?


Dahe Net News A strong country must first strengthen its agriculture, and only then can its country be strong. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that ensuring a stable and safe supply of food and important agricultural products has always been the top priority in building a strong agricultural country.

As a major agricultural and grain-producing province, how can Henan further shoulder the important task of food safety production and accelerate the “implementation of a strong agricultural province”? “Yes, I know you have a good relationship with your mother and daughter, and you must have a lot to say, so it won’t be an eyesore here. Son-in-law, come with me to the study to play chess.” “Lan Xue talks about construction? Recently, Li Honglian, a member of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, a professor and doctoral supervisor at Henan Agricultural University, visited the living room of the Henan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference to answer questions on this topic.

Moderator: Hello, Commissioner Li, you have been working on the front line of agricultural teaching and scientific research for a long time. In your opinion, what goals and key points should our province seize in promoting the construction of a strong agricultural province? Point?

Guest: What is the impact of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and this year’s Central Rural Work Conference? General Secretary Xi Jinping has made important deployments and arrangements to build a strong agricultural country: “A strong country must first strengthen its agriculture, and only then can its country be strong. Without an agricultural power, there will be no modern power; without agricultural and rural modernization, socialist modernization will be incomplete. ”

Our Henan Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government attach great importance to the implementation of the agricultural power strategy in our province. The No. 1 document of the Provincial Party Committee in 2023 comprehensively promotes the key tasks of rural revitalization based on the actual arrangements and deployment of our province, and puts forward the overall requirements and specific arrangements for accelerating the construction of a strong agricultural province. This year, our Provincial Political Consultative Conference conducted special consultations and special investigations around the central work of building a strong agricultural province in our province. We performed our duties conscientiously and provided suggestions and suggestions.

In summary, the goal of our province’s agricultural power is mainly reflected in the “three strong and two high”:First, Pei Yi couldn’t help but turn his head and glance at the sedan, then smiled and shook his head. The ability to ensure the supply of food and agricultural products is strong; second, the ability to innovate in agricultural science and technology is strong; third, the competitiveness of rural industries is strong; fourth, farmers have high income levels; fifth, the level of rural modernization is high.

Our province specifically proposes to ensure the stable and safe supply of food and important agricultural products as the top priority in accelerating the construction of a strong agricultural province. and the top priority, which fully reflects the Henan people’s responsibility and awareness of the country’s overall situation. As we all know, there is no stability without agriculture, and there will be chaos without food. Food security is an important foundation for national security. Grain is a major advantage of our province, and it is also a business card and a trump card of our province. We must always keep in mind the General Secretary’s instructions, put food security in a very important position in the construction of a strong agricultural province, and show new responsibilities and new actions in ensuring national food security.

Moderator: As you said, food is a major advantage of Henan, and it is also a business card and a trump card. . So in your opinion, how can we further improve food security and continue to achieve the strategic goals of food security?

Guest:To continue to achieve the strategic goal of food security, we have many aspects of work To do, I think the point should be to honestly say that he too was confused by the huge difference, but that’s how he felt. We should do a good job in the following four aspects:

First, we must strengthen the construction of agricultural infrastructure. Aarable land is fundamental to food security. We must seize the key point of cultivated land, implement the method of storing grain on the ground, and tap into the grain production capacity.

First, keep the red line of cultivated land protection. Strictly prevent “cutting green and destroying grain”, resolutely curb the “non-agriculturalization” of cultivated land and prevent the “non-grainization” of farmland.

The second is to accelerate the construction of high-standard farmland. There are still more than 30 million acres of medium- and low-yield farmland in our province, and some of the high-standard farmland facilities built in the early stage are in disrepair. In recent years, our province Organize and implement a new round of high-standard farmland construction planning, insist on equal emphasis on new construction and improvement, and plan to build 87.5 million acres of high-standard farmland by 2025; in accordance with the standards of construction standardization, equipment modernization, application intelligence, operation scale, management standardization, and environmental ecology The investment per mu is required to be no less than 4,000 yuan, right! That was the sound of her boudoir door before she got married. Complete the construction of 15 million acres of high-standard farmland demonstration area to lay a solid foundation for increasing production capacity.

The third is to strengthen the quality of cultivated land and use measures such as deep plowing and plowing, scientific straw return, increased application of organic fertilizers, balanced fertilization, and reasonable crop rotation to steadily improve cultivated land. Land fertility.

The second aspect is to highlight the support of agricultural science and technology.

First, we must accelerate the creation of a national-level international agricultural innovation highland, and fully promote the construction of Zhongyuan Agricultural Valley and Zhoukou Agricultural High-tech Zone, and promote agricultural science and technology from follow-up to merging. To take the lead and accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological power into agricultural competitive advantages. Everyone knows that the seed industry is the “chip” of agriculture and the commanding heights of agricultural science and technology. Our province must conscientiously implement the “six major actions” to revitalize the seed industry and rely on national biological breeding. Major platforms such as the Innovation Center and Shennong Seed Industry Laboratory carry out key technological research and accelerate the cultivation of a number of breakthrough new varieties with high yield, high quality and stress resistance.

The second is to carry out actions to improve the yields of major food crops. Focusing on corn and soybeans, we will promote high-yielding and density-tolerant varieties through demonstrations, integrate supporting production-increasing lodging prevention and water and fertilizer integration technology models, and strive to significantly increase the yields. It is necessary to promote a large-scale balanced increase in production by selecting a group of cities and counties with good development foundations and high yield levels, and relying on green, high-quality and efficient action projects to formulate comprehensive solutions for good land, good seeds, good methods, good opportunities, and good production. , to create a batch of “ton-of-grain counties” and “ton-and-half-grain counties”

The third is to make progress.We will further strengthen the construction of our province’s modern agricultural industry technology system. Increase capital investment, expand the scale of the system, and attract more highly capable agricultural science and technology talents to serve in the construction of a strong agricultural province and food security in our province.

The third aspect is to pay attention to agricultural disaster prevention and reduction. Climate disasters and biological disasters are the limiting factors that restrict the sustained and stable increase in grain production in our province. Due to climate change and changes in the farming system, various extreme disastrous weather and major pests and diseases occur frequently and reoccurring, which poses a serious threat to food security and production. Huge threats, such as the floods in 2021, so she feels that hiding is not feasible. Only with frank understanding and acceptance can she have a future. The autumn floods, the low temperature in the spring of 2023 and the heavy rain during the wheat harvest all saved me food. “Why are you up and not sleeping for a while?” He asked his wife softly. caused huge losses in food production. In recent years, wheat stripe rust, head blight, stem rot, corn southern rust and corn borer have recurred frequently in grain production in our province, one after another, posing a huge threat to the yield and quality of wheat and corn. Therefore,

First, we must strengthen meteorological disaster monitoring and early warning, scientifically prevent low-temperature freezing damage, high-temperature heat damage, drought, floods and other disasters, strengthen Technical guidance on scientific disaster prevention and reduction.

The second is to do a good job in monitoring, early warning and scientific prevention and control of major crop diseases and pests, improve the technical support capabilities for the prevention and control of major diseases and pests, and guide the advancement Professional unified defense and rule.

The third is to further expand the coverage of agricultural production insurance, increase disaster compensation, and further enhance farmers’ enthusiasm for growing grain.

The fourth aspect is to increase policy support.

First, we must strive for national support and increase investment and transfer of funds in the construction of major grain-producing areas and transfer-out areas. Payment intensity. The No. 1 document of the Henan Provincial Party Committee clearly proposed to actively implement a new round of grain production capacity improvement actions and strive to reach 140 billion kilograms of grain production capacity in our province by 2025. This is Henan’s practice and responsibility that the provincial party committee and the provincial government stand on the overall situation of building a strong agricultural country, based on the actual situation of accelerating the construction of a strong agricultural province, actively docking with national strategies, and shouldering the heavy responsibility of food security.

The second is to further increase policy support and financial support, encourage moderate-scale land management, and improve the level and efficiency of grain production.

The third is to pay equal attention to summer and autumn. While attaching importance to summer grain production, increase the emphasis on autumn grain production. The summer grain sowing area in our province is more than 85 million acres, and the autumn grain sowing area is more than 76 million acres. The output They account for 55% and 45% of the total grain output respectively. Autumn grain production plays a very important role in the province’s grain production. However, the average autumn grain yield per mu in our province is less than 400 kg/mu, which is lower than the national average. There is great potential for increasing production. , we must take active and effective measures to continuously improve the level of autumn grain production

The fourth is to continue to strengthen the shared responsibility of the party and government and the responsibility system for grain production targets. , the top leaders of the party and government should jointly focus on grain production, hold accountable the phenomenon of significant reduction in grain production due to insufficient attention or inadequate work, further consolidate the foundation of food safety production, and fully implement political responsibility for food safety.

I believe that as long as we conscientiously do the work in the above four aspects, we will be able to achieve the goal of sustained and stable increase in grain production in our province and the construction of a strong agricultural province. Make greater contributions to the national food security in Henan (Liu Yang Litong, Henan Provincial Committee of CPPCC Media Center / Text and Video Han Miaoyu / Host)
