Since the 12th five-year Plan, the central government has invested more than 5% in grain science and technology innovation.

The national grain science and technology innovation conference was held in Beijing a few days ago. the reporter learned from the meeting that in recent years, the top-level design of grain science and technology innovation in China has been continuously optimized, the environment for grain science and technology development has continued to improve, grain science and technology investment has been significantly increased, and scientific and technological innovation has achieved fruitful results. Since the 12th five-year Plan, the central government's grain science and technology projects have supported more than 800 million yuan, driving the investment of various innovative funds to exceed 5 billion yuan.

Ren Zhengxiao, director of the State Grain Administration, pointed out that grain science and technology work should not only "go to heaven," regard ensuring and supporting national food security as a "great responsibility" and "sky-high mission," but also "land on the ground." scientific research should be closely integrated with national conditions and grain conditions, and technological innovation should closely meet the needs of the industry and the public, and prominently solve the most urgent and critical scientific and technological problems.

The meeting made it clear that by 2020, the innovation and development of China's grain science and technology will further promote the reform of the grain science and technology system, enhance the industry's ability of independent innovation, speed up the construction of an open, scientific, efficient and practical grain science and technology innovation platform system and achievement promotion system, and vigorously implement the "Science and Technology Innovation Project", "Science and Technology demonstration Project" and "Smart Grain Project". To ensure national food security and enhance the modernization level of grain circulation industry to provide a strong driving force and strong support.
