Let modern farmers grow wings of knowledge

"Let more than a billion people have enough to eat, eat safely and rest assured" is a new requirement of the times for Chinese agriculture put forward by modern society. There are "two guarantees" to eat, to ensure the richness of today's "rice bags" and "vegetable baskets", to ensure the abundance of future generations'"rice bowls" and "dining tables"; to eat well, we need "two products", and we need to eat what we want and what we want to eat with good quality; to eat safely, we should rest assured of "two grasps", grasp standardized production "species" out of safety, and grasp the whole process supervision "management" to rest assured. China has a large population, land and water shortage, and it is mainly traditional agriculture with small-scale decentralized operation. It is not easy to have enough to eat, and it is even more difficult to eat well. If you eat safely, you can rest assured that you will face a major test, and the way out for agriculture lies in modernization. We must rely on scientific and technological progress and innovative management system, improve land output rate, resource utilization rate and labor productivity, strengthen the comprehensive production capacity of agriculture to ensure supply, and develop high-quality agricultural products to ensure the safety. we will achieve sustainable cultivation of "ten thousand hectares of fertile land" in a sustainable ecological environment.

The household contract responsibility system, which began in the early 1980s, has fundamentally solved the problem of "lack of food and clothing" by arousing the enthusiasm of farmers through the management mode of "every family covers land and every household works for agriculture". In today's Chinese society, with more new choices for farmers to work in cities and new expectations of citizenization, a considerable number of farmers who contract land no longer farm. To adapt to the new trend of the change of agricultural production relations in our country, new types of operators such as professional large households, family farms, farmers' cooperatives and agricultural enterprises with moderate scale operation continue to emerge, creating a variety of new management forms, such as modern family management, collective management, cooperative management and enterprise management, whose basic characteristics are based on household management, linked by cooperation and association, and supported by socialized service. This is the inevitable choice of agricultural modernization in our country.

The intensive management of modern agriculture is mainly reflected in the input of modern production factors and the combination of modern production factors and traditional production factors. Modern equipment and other production tools have been accelerated and widely used, the most prominent being agricultural mechanization and rural informatization. At present, the comprehensive mechanization level of farming and harvest in our country is more than 59%, the research and promotion of agronomic integration technology of agricultural machinery has been strengthened, and it is not uncommon to see high-end agricultural machinery with high horsepower, automation, and precision. The mode of agricultural production has shifted from human and animal power for thousands of years to a new stage dominated by machinery operations. Information technology is changing with each passing day. Cloud technology, the Internet of things and big data are catching up with each other and are actively applied in agricultural production and operation, agricultural product quality traceability, e-commerce and other fields. Intelligent mobile terminals will achieve information services all the time, everywhere and omnipotent.

The transformation from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture inevitably requires the transformation from traditional farmers to modern farmers. The Fifth Plenary session of the 16th CPC Central Committee proposed to cultivate a new type of farmers who are educated, skilled, and able to manage. The just past Central Rural work Conference raised "who will farm" to a strategic height, emphasizing that the core problem of good people should be solved by enriching farmers, improving farmers, and supporting them, and required to focus on attracting young people to work in agriculture and cultivating professional farmers. establish a special policy mechanism, build a team of professional farmers, and form a team of high-quality agricultural producers and operators. This high quality should include agricultural professional ethics such as education in junior high school and above, concept of legal system, awareness of integrity, quality and safety of agricultural products and responsibility for ecological environment protection, modern agricultural technology such as high yield and high quality, disaster prevention and mitigation, green safety, facilities and equipment, agricultural policy, decision management, farm management, product marketing and other modern agricultural management knowledge.
