Cultivate hundreds of millions of new professional farmers to consolidate the foundation of modern agricultural development

If hundreds of millions of farmers go to the cities to work, who will cultivate the vast fields? In the new century, with the massive transfer of rural labor force, agriculture for the elderly, women's agriculture and primary school agriculture have become the focus of the party, the state and all walks of life. If farmers are not trained into high-quality and high-skilled professional farmers, ensuring national food security and the quality and safety of agricultural products, especially the development of modern agriculture will become empty talk. As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "in the final analysis, the key to rural economic and social development lies in people." There are no people, no labor force, food security is out of the question, modern agriculture is out of the question, and the construction of a new countryside is not to mention, which will also affect the protection and inheritance of traditional farming culture. " This not only puts forward a major issue for the development of modern agriculture, but also points out the essence of the problem of "who will farm the land?" Vigorously cultivating a new type of professional farmers is the fundamental way to solve the problem of "who will cultivate the land and how to plant the land well", the basic support for the development of modern agriculture, and an important measure to deepen rural reform and build a new agricultural management system.

To cultivate a new type of professional farmers is to cultivate the reality and future of modern agriculture. The No. 1 document of the Central Committee this year proposes to develop new types of agricultural operators, such as large professional households, family farms, professional cooperative organizations, and so on. The most important and core subject of the new type of agricultural management is human, and farmers are the core subject of the new agricultural management system. Speeding up the construction of modern agriculture requires the overall improvement of the quality of workers and the transformation of the mode of agricultural development. In the future, the main body of Chinese agriculture will be the leading enterprises, family farms and cooperatives from the perspective of organizational form, and the new type of professional farmers from the perspective of individual form. Therefore, to cultivate a new type of professional farmers is to cultivate the basic units and cells of all kinds of new business subjects, in order to speed up the construction of a new agricultural management system with the combination of intensification, specialization, organization and socialization, will play an important subjective and fundamental role.

"whether the villagers are well-off or not depends on the villagers." whether the villagers can run a well-off society or not lies in giving them the ability to run a well-off society and nurturing them to become a new type of professional farmers. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that if China wants to be rich, farmers must be rich, and farmers must be enriched, improved, and supported. In 2012, the No. 1 document of the Central Committee proposed for the first time to vigorously cultivate a new type of professional farmers. The Ministry of Agriculture vigorously promoted the cultivation of a new type of professional farmers as a major basic project to enrich, improve and support farmers. In 2013, pilot work on the cultivation of new professional farmers was carried out in 100 counties. In 2014, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Agriculture jointly launched a new type of professional farmer training project to carry out demonstration cultivation in 300 counties. In addition, 14 cities and Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces have been selected to promote as a whole, fully relying on the advantages of complete organization, sound system, wide coverage, close to the grass-roots level, and rich experience in agricultural and radio schools at all levels of the country. we will speed up the exploration of training methods and systems suitable for different regions and different levels of economic development. Centering on the cultivation goal of "three kinds of coordination" of production and management type, professional skill type and social service type, we should actively build a new professional farmer training system with "trinity" of education and training, identification and management, and policy support.

Strengthen education and training services to professionalize farming. In accordance with the concept of "education first and training always present", focusing on agricultural farmers, classifying, stratifying and dividing industries to carry out systematic training, regular follow-up services and vocational education. In April 2014, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Education jointly issued the "training Program for New Vocational Farmers in Secondary Vocational Schools (trial)" It has opened a new educational era in which secondary vocational education is open to adult farmers, and speed up the process of farmers' professionalization. We should pay equal attention to skill training and vocational education, and comprehensively improve the quality of farmers from the aspects of concept, concept, morality, technology and ability, so as to make farmers know how to farm land and make farming more professional.

Build a public basic platform to provide a stage for the development of new professional farmers. First, a new type of vocational farmer education and training platform. Establish and improve the national agricultural broadcasting school as the main body, agricultural vocational colleges, agricultural scientific research and extension institutions, farmers' cooperatives, agriculture-related enterprises and other social resources as a supplement, "one master and multiple" new vocational farmer education and training system. Speed up the construction of a county farmer science and technology education and training center for overall coordination, several (N) agricultural schools as the main body of education and training institutions complementary and shared, a number of (X) distributed in the agricultural industry chain on-site teaching base (field school) extended coverage of the "1+N+X" new professional farmer training network, to improve the training ability of new professional farmers. The second is a new type of vocational farmer education and training credit recognition platform. We will establish a national credit bank for the education and training of new vocational farmers, promote the docking of vocational training and vocational education, promote the mutual recognition of learning achievements, and enhance the service ability to support the lifelong learning of new vocational farmers. The third is a new intelligent platform for professional farmers to serve the whole process. We will strengthen the integrated construction of air classes, fixed classes, mobile classes and field classes with agricultural radio and radio schools as the main body, comprehensively integrate the cloud platform for intelligent farmers, and carry out education and training, identification, management and tracking services. improve the level of information services for new professional farmers. Fourth, a new type of professional farmers to cultivate a platform for international exchange and cooperation. We will carry out international comparative research on the cultivation of new professional farmers, introduce new professional farmer training models and high-quality teaching resources, establish bilateral and multilateral exchange and cooperation mechanisms for the cultivation of new professional farmers, and enhance the development ability of new professional farmers. Fifth, a new platform for promoting the development of professional farmers. We will run a good website for China's new professional farmers, build a Wechat platform for China's new professional farmers, hold meetings for the development of new professional farmers, promote interactive exchanges, dialogue and cooperation, and joint ventures, and enhance the self-development ability of new professional farmers.

"make agricultural management effective, make agriculture a promising industry, make farmers a decent profession, and make rural areas a beautiful home to live and work in peace and contentment." it interprets the real vision of agriculture and rural areas in the future. China's agricultural modernization needs to bring up hundreds of millions of professional farmers and implement a new type of professional farmer training project, which has started a strong new engine for the development of modern agriculture. In the process of modernization, the new engine will lengthen the short legs of agriculture, make up for the shortcomings of rural areas, do not let rural areas be left behind, and let farmers build beautiful homes in the fields of hope!
