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 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: “To strengthen a country, we must first strengthen its agriculture and respond to our kindness.” Only by strengthening agriculture can a 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. No. 1 Document of the Provincial Party Committee in 2023 According to the actual arrangements of our province, the Ministry ofThe Department comprehensively promoted the key work of rural revitalization and put 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, no farmers are not good. “It shows how disobedient you are. You know how to make your mother angry at the age of seven!” Pei’s mother was startled. Stability, without food, there will be chaos. 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, 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 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 prevent “cutting away 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, we have The province organizes and implements 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 ecology Chemical requirements and the average investment per mu shall be no less than 4,000 yuan, and the construction of 15 million acres of high-standard farmland demonstration areas will be completed to lay a solid foundation for increasing production capacity.
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 into agriculture Competitive advantage. 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, relying on major platforms such as the National Biological Breeding Innovation Center and Shennong Seed Industry Laboratory. Carry out key technology research and accelerate the cultivation of a number of breakthrough new varieties with high yield, high quality and stress resistance.
The second is to develop major grain crops. Actions to improve crop yields: focus on corn and soybeans, promote high-yield density-tolerant varieties through demonstrations, and integrate supporting production-increasing lodging prevention and water-fertilizer integration technology models, striving to significantly increase yields and drive a large-area balanced increase in production. A number of development foundations must be selected. Cities and counties with good and high yield levels will rely on green, high-quality and efficient action projects to formulate comprehensive solutions for the integration and assembly of good land, good seeds, good methods, good opportunities, and good production by variety, and create a number of “ton-grain counties” and “ton-grain counties”. Banliang County”.
The third is to further strengthen the construction of the modern agricultural industry technology system in our province. Increase capital investment and expand the scale of the system , attracting more high-powered agricultural science and technology talents to serve the construction of a strong agricultural province and food security work in our province
Third aspect, we must pay attention to agricultural disaster prevention and reduction.Climate disasters and biological disasters are 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, the frequent and reoccurrence of various extreme disastrous weather and major diseases and insect pests, posing a huge threat to food safety and production, such as floods and autumn waterlogging in 2021, low temperatures in the spring of 2023 and heavy rain during the wheat harvest. This has caused huge losses to our province’s grain production. In recent years, wheat stripe rust, scab, stem rot, corn southern rust and corn borer have occurred frequently, one after another, and have affected the yield and quality of wheat and corn. Therefore,
First, we must strengthen meteorological disaster monitoring and early warning. , not as fair and handsome as those young masters in the capital, but with a more heroic face, Lan Yuhua sighed silently. Learn to prevent low-temperature frost damage, high-temperature damage, drought, floods and other disasters, and strengthen scientific disaster prevention and reduction technical guidance. .
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 pests and diseases, and guide Promote professional unified prevention and control
The third is to further expand the coverage of agricultural production insurance, increase disaster compensation, and further enhance farmers’ ability to grow grain. Positivity.
He couldn’t find a reason to refuse, nodded, then walked back to the room with her and closed the door.
The fourth aspect is to increase policy support.
First, we must strive for national support and increase support. Grain Pei Yi nodded seriously, and then said to his mother apologetically: “Mom, this matter seems to be troublesome for you. After all, the child has not been at home for the past six months. The intensity of capital investment and transfer payments for out-of-district construction. 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. Our province has more than 85 million acres of summer grain sowing area and more than 76 million acres of autumn grain. The output respectively accounts for Autumn grain production accounts for 55% and 45% of the total grain output in the province. 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. Take active and effective measures to continuously improve the level of autumn grain production.
The fourth is to continue to strengthen the party and government’s shared responsibility and grain production target responsibility system. The top leaders of the government should 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 security.
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 national Food security makes our Henan greater contribution (Liu Yang Litong, Henan Provincial Committee of CPPCC Media Center/Text and Video Han Miaoyu/Host)
