■ strengthens the support of agricultural science and technology, implements the upgrading project of modern seed industry, promotes agricultural mechanization and informationization, and strengthens international cooperation.

■ vigorously develops water-saving agriculture, comprehensively promotes standardized production, and strengthens the resource utilization of livestock and poultry manure, straw, agricultural film and other resources and the control of agricultural non-point source pollution.

The roadmap for key agricultural work in the second half of the year was released yesterday, and "agricultural modernization" is still the key word.

The executive meeting of the State Council held yesterday arranged to speed up the transformation of the mode of agricultural development and take the road of safe, efficient and green development. This is the first document of the Central Committee at the beginning of the year focused on agricultural modernization, in the middle of the year, the State Council once again made it clear to promote agricultural modernization.

The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to persist in taking the enhancement of grain production capacity as the primary premise, the improvement of quality and efficiency as the main direction, sustainable development as the important content, reform and innovation as the fundamental driving force, and respect for the dominant position of farmers as the basic following. we will improve subsidies, prices and other mechanisms, and vigorously change the mode of agricultural operation, production, and resource utilization.

"the work of agriculture, rural areas and farmers has a bearing on the overall situation of the country, so when arranging the focus of work in the second half of the year, the issue of agriculture should be discussed as the main topic." Li Guoxiang, a researcher at the Institute of Rural Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with the Shanghai Stock Exchange News: "judging from the current situation, the supply of agricultural products will still be relatively sufficient in the second half of the year, and the main work of agriculture will be on changing the mode of production."

How to speed up the transformation of agricultural development mode? According to the arrangements of the meeting, in the second half of the year, we will move along the following four lines: first, to improve the level of food security through the transformation of medium-and low-yield fields and the increase of effective irrigation area. We will optimize the agricultural structure in line with market demand, encourage the development of recycling agriculture with cultivation and cultivation, promote rotation and intercropping of major crops, implement actions to improve the processing of staple foods such as potatoes, and actively develop herbivorous animal husbandry.

Secondly, we should promote various forms of moderate scale operation, cultivate new business entities, strengthen the protection of cultivated land, guide farmers to transfer contracted land in an orderly manner in accordance with the law, and encourage the development of large-scale farming, agricultural products processing and rural service industries. we will promote the integrated development of production, processing, logistics and marketing, and extend the value chain.

The third is to strengthen the support of agricultural science and technology, implement the project of upgrading the modern seed industry, promote agricultural mechanization and informationization, strengthen international cooperation, and improve the comprehensive competitiveness and risk resistance of agriculture.

Fourth, vigorously develop water-saving agriculture, comprehensively promote standardized production, strengthen the utilization of livestock and poultry manure, straw, agricultural film and other resources and the control of agricultural non-point source pollution, and strive to achieve zero growth in the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides by 2020, improve the quality of agricultural products, and provide source protection for safety on the dinner table.

The main content of this year's Central Committee No. 1 document is to speed up agricultural modernization, and the above four measures come down in one continuous line. After the release of economic data in the first half of the year, when the central government began to deploy the focus of economic work in the second half of the year, it is of great significance to deploy again to speed up the construction of agricultural modernization.

In particular, it is worth noting that the policy has been further refined in promoting the reform of the rural land system. The meeting clearly demanded that to promote moderate scale operation of agriculture, policy implementation should be carried out in various ways, such as shareholding, trusteeship, cooperative operation, and so on, on the basis of farmers' willingness.

Li Guoxiang pointed out: "moderate scale operation of agriculture can reduce costs, reduce abuse of pesticides and fertilizers, and is conducive to agricultural modernization." Shareholding and trusteeship are all ways of land transfer, which are more acceptable to farmers and more in line with the requirements of rural land reform, and are the direction of policy encouragement in the future. "

The meeting on the same day also studied and deployed other work and decided to promote the random sampling mechanism in order to innovate the supervision during and after the event to create a fair market environment; to determine the full implementation of serious illness insurance for urban and rural residents, to make serious illness insurance cover all basic medical insurance insurers for urban and rural residents by the end of 2015, and to establish a relatively perfect serious illness insurance system by 2017.
