Committee member Li Jian: speeding up towards modern agriculture, ecological agriculture and high efficiency

China Economic Network, Beijing, March 14, today, Li Jian, member of the National Committee of the Chinese people's political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and director of Beijing Institute of Technology Institute of Humanities, said on the China Economic Network's "Zhongjing online interview Special Program-focusing on the two sessions in 2015". At present, China's agriculture needs to change the mode of production, speed up the transformation of agricultural production mode and agricultural modernization technology development, and realize the transformation to modern agriculture and ecological agriculture. He said that the current price of agricultural products has reached the ceiling, which is much higher than that of foreign agricultural products, mainly because the output efficiency of agriculture needs to be improved.

The development of soft fields is of great significance to the environment and food safety.

One of the topics in committee member Li Jian's proposal this year is to strengthen the development of soft fields. According to him, soft fields are a model of agricultural ecology, which stores water all the year round and grows rice when storing water and needs to grow rice. You can also raise ducks, release ducks and raise fish in the fields to form circular agriculture. He believes that soft fields are of great significance to the environment and food safety.

He further pointed out that because the soft field stores water all the year round, according to estimates, if such a farmland of 10,000 mu is all stored, then the water storage capacity is equivalent to a small and medium-sized reservoir, so that the soft field not only plays the function of the reservoir, but also plays the function of wetlands, which is of great significance to the surrounding ecological environment. In terms of output, because this production mode does not need to apply pesticides, pests can be eaten by ducks and crabs, and food is also very safe. In addition, because there are both rice and aquaculture in soft fields, the comprehensive economic benefits are also very high.

Change the mode of production to solve multiple difficulties in rural areas

When talking about the current difficulties faced by rural development, Li Jian said: first of all, most of China's rural areas carry out small-scale production with families as units, which does not form economies of scale, and the efficiency is relatively low. Secondly, advanced technology and large-scale mechanization cannot be carried out. Third, the extensive use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers has caused pollution problems in rural areas, but the output benefit of cultivated land is not high, and the price of agricultural products has reached the ceiling level. In addition, the management consciousness of farmers is also relatively weak.

Li Jian believes that in order to solve such difficulties, it is necessary to speed up the transformation of the mode of agricultural production. In addition, modern farmers must master information and technology. He said: "Farmers do not grasp the demand information and supply information of the market, because farmers only care about planting, regardless of demand, regardless of the market, and if they see prices rise this year, they will sow hard next year, and everyone will plant them next year, then prices will definitely fall the year after next. So demand information is very important."

Li Jian also said: "if the state gives enough subsidies, carries out large-scale production, relies on modern science and technology, and depends on modern new farmers, through these models, I believe our agriculture will certainly develop well."

He pointed out that agricultural development depends on reform and innovation, strengthening the technological development of agricultural modernization, and using scientific and technological progress to improve production efficiency. Secondly, rely on scientific and technological management to achieve large farm management, so as to promote the industrialization of agricultural products, so as to really improve the income of farmers. In addition, state support is needed. He believes that although our country already has a lot of subsidies, the subsidies for our agriculture are far from enough.

It is a good thing for rural labor to go out to work.

At present, there are a large number of young rural workers going out to work. Li Jian believes that this problem is a common phenomenon and inevitable reflection, and there is no need to worry too much, which is caused by the low production efficiency in rural areas. "it is an inevitable trend of social development for young people to move towards cities and developed areas." But Li Jian also said: "if we leave it alone, it may also bring about agricultural security problems, but we face up to this question may also become a good thing."

He pointed out: "We should carry out reform in rural areas, develop modern agriculture, develop ecological agriculture, increase the scientific and technological content of agriculture, and implement a modern management model in order to improve the production efficiency of rural areas." When young people go out to learn modern management techniques and ideas, they will bring them back to the countryside in the future, combine these new knowledge with traditional agriculture, and change the traditional decentralized management mode. this will not weaken the position of our agriculture. it may also bring benefits to the future development and reform of agriculture in our country.

In terms of cultivating a new type of farmers, Li Jian pointed out that one is to strengthen the training of farmers and popularize the awareness of modern management; the other is to train young people, because young people can quickly accept new ideas and introduce modern technology and management awareness to the rural areas. In addition, he also said that there are a lot of material and cultural heritage left behind in rural areas, and some good production technologies can strengthen patent training, apply for protection of their own advanced technology, and enable farmers to obtain greater benefits through patent authorization protection.

The price of agricultural products has hit the ceiling.

"the price of agricultural products has reached a ceiling." Li Jian pointed out that the prices of China's agricultural products are even higher than those of some high-quality agricultural products in the world. In terms of production, the use of a large number of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has raised costs and brought about food safety problems. Therefore, if we want to develop agriculture at present and ensure the safety of food in the future, it is impossible to develop without changing the current business model.

In addition, it is important to have demand information. He suggested that the peasants should unite to set up co-operatives, establish mutual aid organizations, join the co-operatives, sell the surplus grain to the co-operatives, and let the co-operatives uniformly sell them to the outside world, so that they can sell them when prices are high and hoard them when prices are low. Farmers can be guaranteed to have a higher income. In terms of consumption, we can unite in batches to buy machinery, seeds, chemical fertilizers, etc., so that we can buy the cheapest chemical fertilizer and the cheapest agriculture.
