Dahe Network 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 responsibility of food safety production and accelerate the construction of a strong agricultural province? Recently, Li Honglian, member of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, 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, Committee Member Li, you have been working on the front line of agricultural teaching and scientific research for a long time. In your opinion, I What goals and key points should the province seize in promoting the construction of a strong agricultural province?
Guest: The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and this year’s Central Rural Work Conference have important implications for the construction of agriculture. Powerful countries have made important deployments and arrangements. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “A strong country must first strengthen its agriculture, and only by strong agriculture can the country be strong. Without a strong agricultural country, there will be no modern and powerful country; 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 will be fully implemented based on the actual arrangements and arrangements of our province.The key work of rural revitalization 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, 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. Food 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, place 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 this, I think the focus should be on the following four aspects:
First, we must strengthen the foundation of agriculture Facility construction. 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.
The first is to firmly guard the red line of cultivated land protection. Strictly guard against “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 has organized and implemented a new round of high-standard farmland construction The plan insists on paying equal attention to new construction and improvement, and plans to build 87.5 million acres of high-standard farmland by 2025; in accordance with the requirements of construction standardization, equipment modernization, application intelligence, operation scale, management standardization, environmental ecology, and the average investment per mu is not less than 4,000 Yuan standard, completed the construction of 15 million acres of high-standard farmland demonstration areas, laying a solid foundation for increasing production capacity
The third is to strengthen the quality of cultivated land. . Coordinate the use of deep plowing, scientific straw return, increased application of organic fertilizers, balanced fertilization, and rational crop rotation to steadily improve the fertility of cultivated land.
The second aspect is to highlight the support of agricultural science and technology.
First, we must speed up the creation of national-level As an international agricultural innovation highland, we must fully promote the construction of Zhongyuan Agricultural Valley and Zhoukou Agricultural High-tech Zone, promote agricultural science and technology from following to leading, and accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological power into agricultural competitiveness. Everyone knows that the seed industry is the key to agriculture. “Chip” is the commanding heights of agricultural science and technology. Our province must conscientiously implement the “six major actions” to revitalize the seed industry, rely on major platforms such as the National Biological Breeding Innovation Center and Shennong Seed Industry Laboratory to carry out key technology research and accelerate the cultivation of a batch of high-yielding people. , high-quality, stress-resistant breakthrough new varieties
The second is to carry out actions to increase the yield of major food crops, such as corn and soybeans. Focus on promoting high-yielding and density-tolerant varieties, integrating supporting production-increasing lodging prevention and water-fertilizer integration technology models, striving to significantly increase unit yields, and drive a large-area balanced increase in yields. We must select a group of cities and counties with good development foundations and high unit yields. Relying on green, high-quality and efficient action projects, we will formulate comprehensive solutions integrating good land, good seeds, good methods, good opportunities, and good production by variety to create a number of “ton-of-grain counties” and “half-ton-of-grain counties”
The third is to further strengthen the modern agricultural industry technology in our province. Pei Yi nodded, and then expressed his plan in surprise, saying: “Baby’s plan I will leave in a few days, and I should be able to come back before the Chinese New Year. “Technology system construction. Increase capital investment, expand the scale of the system, and attract more high-powered agricultural science and technology talents to serve 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 diseases and insect pests occur frequently and reoccurring, which poses a serious threat to food safety and production. Huge threats, such as floods and autumn waterlogging in 2021, low temperatures in the spring of 2023 and heavy rains during the wheat harvest, have caused huge losses to our province’s grain 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 achieve summer and autumnPay equal attention to summer grain production and increase the emphasis on autumn grain production. Our province has more than 85 million acres of summer grain planting area and more than 76 million acres of autumn grain. The output accounts for 55% and 45% of the total grain production respectively. The autumn grain “Okay, mom promises you, you lie down first, lie down, don’t be so excited.” Doctor “Tell me you need to rest for a while and don’t let your mood fluctuate.” Lan Mu comforted her softly, saying that production plays a very important role in the province’s grain production, but the average autumn grain yield in our province is less than 400 kg/mu, which is lower than 400 kg/mu. The national average level has great potential for increasing production. Active and effective measures must be taken to continuously improve the level of autumn grain production.
The fourth is to continue to strengthen the shared responsibilities of the party and government and the responsibility system for food production targets. The party and government share the same responsibility. After all, their families are related. , no one, mother is really afraid that you will have to do everything after you get married. If you don’t stay busy, you will be exhausted. “We should work together to grasp grain production, hold accountable the phenomenon of substantial 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, and contribute to the country. Food security makes our Henan greater contribution (Liu Yang Litong, Henan Provincial Committee of CPPCC Media Center/Text and Video Han Miaoyu/Host)
