Improve quality: make every effort to build a new peasant team

Talents are the key to change the mode of agricultural development, which is the endogenous driving force and fundamental guarantee of the mode of transformation. In order to transform traditional agriculture and upgrade modern agriculture, we must increase the input of human capital and greatly enhance the comprehensive ability of production, operation and management of farmers, which is the most important thing to realize agricultural modernization. Therefore, the way of transformation depends on scientific and technological innovation, driven by talents, and by inserting the wings of science and technology into agriculture, but in the final analysis, it is necessary to improve the quality of agricultural labourers; to complete the task of expanding scale, adjusting structure, strengthening industries, and sustainable development; to implement good policy design well, it is still necessary to improve the quality of workers.

Transformation is an important measure to improve labor productivity, resource utilization, agricultural competitiveness and the ability of sustainable development. There is an urgent need for a large number of high-quality workers to produce and operate. We should also be soberly aware that improving quality is the focus of the transformation, but it is even more difficult. Statistics show that the overall cultural and technical quality of agricultural workers in China is not high, with 95% of them having junior high school education and below, and less than 10% of them have participated in specialized vocational skills training. For a long time, agricultural efficiency is low, and farming is better than going out to work. It is common that the "post-70s" do not want to farm, the "post-80s" do not know how to farm, and the "post-90s" do not talk about farming. The average age of the agricultural labor force is close to 50 years old, and there is a serious shortage of compound and entrepreneurial talents with certain professional skills and management ability.

In order to achieve the grand goal of changing the mode and eliminate the worries of "who will farm the land" and "how to grow good land", it is necessary to comprehensively improve the quality of agricultural labourers and make every effort to build a team of new farmers who are educated, understand technology, can manage, and can drive. It can be said that improving quality is where the veins of agriculture and national luck lie, and what is more, it is a long-term plan for both hematopoiesis and blood transfusion. we should not only seek the long term, but also grasp the present, need not only the strength of the government, but also social support, and it is the basis for changing the way and strengthening the industrial foundation.

To improve the quality of agricultural labourers, from within, it is necessary to strengthen the education and training of farmers, so that "education comes first and training is always there." Education and training is the core content and important means to improve the quality of farmers. It is necessary to strengthen training for large professionals, family farm operators, leaders of farmers' cooperatives, and managers of agricultural enterprises, so as to improve their scientific and cultural quality and demonstration-driven ability. In the way of promotion, from school education to the combination of adult vocational education and practical skills training; in the promotion goal, from a single technology to management, cultural quality and other comprehensive ability. Through various ways, we should establish a lifelong education system for farmers to meet the needs of farmers' development and agricultural industry development, and explore a "segmented, practical and participatory" education and training model suitable for the characteristics of adult learning and the law of agricultural production. improve the ability of agricultural labourers to use advanced science and technology and management ideas to transform traditional agriculture.

To improve the quality of agricultural labourers, from an external point of view, it is necessary to encourage high-quality talents to return to agriculture and promote the transformation of farmers from "identity" to "occupation". Attracting high-quality talents from cities to rural areas has not only alleviated the pressure of economic downturn on urban employment, but also improved the quality of agricultural workers. Statistics show that since the beginning of this year, the number of migrant workers tends to zero growth, and the upsurge of returning to their hometown to start businesses is surging in the countryside. At the same time, under the encouragement of the policy of "mass entrepreneurship and mass innovation", many educated and skilled college graduates and aspiring young people also devote themselves to the vast hot land of the countryside. These fresh blood have not only enriched the army of new farmers, but also changed people's single impression and stereotype of the farmers. instead of squatting at the door smoking dry cigarettes, they wear glasses, turn on machines, take computers, and do business. Although they are called farmers, can you say that they are not doing the work of workers, thinking like intellectuals, or shuffling around in business? For example, blue-collar farmers (agricultural workers) who make use of their skills to provide services such as plant protection and agricultural machinery in agricultural socialized service organizations; white-collar farmers (technical farmers) who use advanced agricultural production equipment and new technology to "remotely control" agricultural production in science and technology parks and control rooms; and gold-collar farmers (boss farmers) who closely combine agriculture with the market to start their own businesses and become rich. It can be said that the emergence of these new farmers is not only the process of the transformation of farmers from "identity" to "occupation", but also the process of improving the quality of agricultural workers.

To improve the quality of agricultural labourers, from the perspective of social support, it is necessary to provide conditions and improve their status, so as to make new farmers an enviable profession. We should make full use of the policy to encourage the "baton" and guide more people of insight and aspiring young people to engage in agriculture, promote agriculture, start businesses and innovate. We will strive to launch a number of advanced models for new farmers to start a business and become rich, and establish a social trend of taking agriculture as an industry, starting a business with agriculture, glorious farming, and agricultural affluence. We will actively carry out selection and commendation activities for outstanding new farmers, give material and spiritual rewards to new farmers who have made outstanding contributions, constantly improve their social status, and publicize and popularize various replicable and popularable new peasant training models.

New farmer, new hope. Giving full play to the main role of people and improving the quality of agricultural labourers is the strategic task of changing ways and promoting development. As the promoter and beneficiary of changing the mode of agricultural development, new farmers are bound to inject new vitality into the development of modern agriculture in China!
