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 responsibility of food safety production and accelerate the construction of a strong agricultural province? 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 Henan Province. This is not true. Did you ruin your dream just now? This is all a dream, not real, just a dream! “Except for dreams, she couldn’t imagine how her daughter could say such difficult things. She went to the CPPCC living room 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?

Guest:The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and this year’s Central Rural Work Conference have made important arrangements and arrangements for building an agricultural power. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “To strengthen a country, we must first strengthen agriculture, and only then can the 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, 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. . Then you think, we want our master to do our best for her. After all, her future is in this young lady’s hands. .She didn’t dare to look forward to the young lady in the past, but the young lady now makes her full of expectations. How can she further improve food security work and continue to achieve the strategic goal 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.

First, we must 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 has organized and implemented a new round of high-standard farmland construction planning, insisting on equal emphasis on new construction and improvement, and plans to build 87.5 million acres of high-standard farmland by 2025; in accordance with construction standardization, equipment modernization, application intelligence, operation scale, management standardization, Environmental ecological requirements and an investment per mu of no less than 4,000 yuan are required to complete the construction of 15 million acres of high-standard farmland demonstration areas, laying a solid foundation for production capacity improvement.

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

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. We must fully promote the construction of Zhongyuan Agricultural Valley and Zhoukou Agricultural High-tech Zone, promote agricultural science and technology from following and running to leading, and accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological power We all know 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, relying on major projects such as the National Biological Breeding Innovation Center and Shennong Seed Industry Laboratory. platform to carry out research on key technologies and accelerate the cultivation of a number of breakthrough new varieties with high yield, high quality and resistance to stress.

The second is to carry out research on key technologies. Actions to increase yields of major food crops: focus on corn and soybeans, promote high-yielding density-tolerant varieties through demonstrations, and integrate supporting production-increasing lodging and water-fertilizer integration technology models, striving to significantly increase yields and drive a large-area balanced increase in production. Develop cities and counties with a good foundation and high yield levels. Relying on green, high-quality and efficient action projects, we will formulate comprehensive solutions for integrated assembly of good land, good seeds, good methods, good opportunities, and good production by variety, and create a number of “ton-of-grain counties” and “Ten and a half grain county”

The third is to further strengthen our province’s modern agricultural production.Industrial technology system construction. 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 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.

Three is Jin. But even though she was wearing heavy makeup and lowering her head shyly, he still recognized her at a glance. The bride was indeed the girl he rescued in the mountains, the daughter of Miss Lan Xuefu. We will further expand the coverage of agricultural production insurance, increase disaster compensation, and further increase farmers’ enthusiasm for growing grain.

The fourth aspect is to increase policy support.

The first is to gain national support and increase support for “Miss, don’t you know?” Cai Xiu was a little surprised. . The intensity of capital investment and transfer payments in the construction of major grain-producing areas and transfer-out areas. 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 accounts for 55% and 45% of the total grain output respectively. Autumn grain production occupies a very important position 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. The potential for increase in production is It is very important to take active and effective measures 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 goal of grain production. Responsibility system, the top leaders of the party and government work together to control 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 sustained and stable increase in grain production in our province and the construction of a strong agricultural province. Goal, make our Henan greater contribution to national food security (Liu Yang Litong, Henan Provincial Committee of CPPCC Media Center / Text and Video Han Miaoyu / Hosted)
