In the training, the government should play the role of the policy maker of farmers' training, the coordinator of training activities and the provider of training funds, and enterprises should be responsible for providing training venues and applied technology demonstrations. schools need to do a good job in organization and management, teachers and industrial technical support.

Second, we must adhere to the combination of technical guidance and industrial assistance. To carry out the training of farmers, we need targeted guidance from schools in production technology, operation and management, and even more need to pay attention to industrial assistance. While promoting the reform of the mode of production and management concept, according to the regional characteristics and development orientation, combined with the industrial advantages of the school, we should cultivate and popularize characteristic industries suitable for the region and drive farmers to become rich.

Third, we must adhere to the continuous innovation of training models and methods. Farmers' training has multi-level and multi-type characteristics. therefore, in the process of training, we should pay attention to the innovation of training mode and adopt various forms of training methods according to the requirements of industrial development and the needs of trainees. Really make the participating farmers "understand, learn, and use".
