The Internal Logic of New urbanization and Agricultural Modernization

The new urbanization is the sublation of the traditional urban development mode, not a simple increase in the proportion of urban population and area expansion, but to realize the transformation from "township" to "city" in the aspects of industrial support, living environment, social security, life style and so on. Under the requirements of the development of the "four modernizations", agricultural modernization includes the modernization of agricultural industry, the modernization of professional farmers and the modernization of rural society, which is a comprehensive system aimed at solving the problems of agriculture, rural areas and farmers. The inherent logical relationship between new urbanization and agricultural modernization is mainly reflected in three aspects.

Complementary elements

Capital, labor, land, technology, information, management and other elements are necessary conditions to promote economic and social development. From the perspective of factor supply and demand structure, there is a close complementary relationship between new urbanization and agricultural modernization. On the one hand, agricultural modernization provides a source of elements for new urbanization. First of all, labor employment comes from the labor spillover of agricultural modernization. Secondly, the construction land comes from the accumulation of agricultural land in agricultural modernization. As agricultural land is one of the necessary conditions for grain production and increasing farmers' income, the scarcity and exclusiveness of land determine that we can only take the road of agricultural modernization to ensure the balance between the land supply of new urbanization and national food security and the increase of farmers' income.

On the other hand, the new type of urbanization provides high-quality factor resources for agricultural modernization. First of all, the material equipment needed for modern agricultural production comes from cities and towns. The secondary industry in cities and towns mainly provides infrastructure, machinery and equipment, agricultural materials and other hardware services for agriculture. Secondly, the agricultural science and technology needed for modern agriculture comes from cities and towns. Finally, the management concept needed for modern agriculture comes from cities and towns. The organizational form, management model and security system of modern agricultural production are also derived from the accumulation of experience in commerce, industry and service industry. The new road of urbanization can overcome the negative impact of traditional urbanization on agricultural development and provide high-quality factor resources for agricultural modernization.

Development interaction

There is an interactive relationship between new urbanization and agricultural modernization in the development. On the one hand, the new type of urbanization drives agricultural modernization. First of all, the development of new urbanization will promote the transformation of agricultural management mode. By undertaking the rural surplus labor force to work in cities and towns, urbanization will inevitably speed up the circulation of rural land, concentrate cultivated land into the hands of large grain growers, and create conditions for moderate scale operation. furthermore, we will promote the specialization, standardization, scale and intensification of agricultural production and management, and improve the comprehensive production capacity, anti-risk ability and market competitiveness of agriculture. Secondly, the development of new urbanization will promote the optimization of agricultural industrial structure. By transforming a large number of rural population into urban population, urbanization will transform the huge potential consumption demand into real consumption demand, which will inevitably lead to the change of the market demand structure of agricultural products and the improvement of the quality and quantity of consumption demand of agricultural products. and then optimize the internal industrial structure and product structure of agriculture. Finally, the development of new urbanization will inject new vitality into agricultural development. As the gathering place of capital, technology and information, cities and towns will automatically flow to the vast rural hinterland based on the role of market mechanism with the continuous expansion of scale and the accumulation of funds and technology to a certain extent. to provide technical and financial support and inject vitality into the development of agricultural modernization.

On the other hand, agricultural modernization promotes a new type of urbanization. First of all, agricultural development is a prerequisite for the formation of cities and towns. Secondly, agricultural modernization expands the market space for new urbanization. Large-scale and mechanization are the basic characteristics and important foundation of agricultural modernization, which has a huge demand for agricultural machinery, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other industrial products; farmers' affluence and rural development are important goals of agricultural modernization. the huge market demand in rural areas will effectively promote the development of urban industrial system and speed up the construction of urbanization. Finally, agricultural modernization promotes the development of urban social undertakings. With the transfer of a large number of agricultural surplus labor to cities and towns, it will effectively promote the construction and improvement of urban infrastructure such as housing, transportation, communications, water and electricity, and promote the development of medical and health, cultural and educational undertakings.

Integration of goals

The value orientation of new urbanization and agricultural modernization has distinct human nature, and it belongs to one and two sides in the direction of development, that is, the blueprint of new urbanization cannot be realized without the development of agricultural modernization. if we do not take the road of new urbanization, we will not realize the vision of agricultural modernization, and the goals of the two are highly compatible.

First, integration of urban and rural areas. Breaking the dual economic pattern of urban and rural areas and realizing the integration of urban and rural areas is the common goal of new urbanization and agricultural modernization. The report of the 18th CPC National Congress pointed out: "the integration of urban and rural development is the fundamental way to solve the problems of agriculture, rural areas and farmers." It is necessary to strengthen the overall planning of urban and rural development and promote the common prosperity of urban and rural areas. " For this reason, agricultural modernization will make a breakthrough in system innovation, promote the balanced distribution and two-way flow of elements and resources between urban and rural areas, and gradually achieve the development goal of urban-rural integration.

Second, industrial integration. With the development of agricultural modernization and the promotion of new urbanization, various factors of production will break through the boundaries of regions, industries and urban and rural areas. so that urban technology, talents, materials, information and rural land, labor, raw materials and other resources to achieve effective allocation, some new industries will be able to produce, the boundaries between agriculture, industry and service industry will become more and more blurred, tend to a new realm of industrial integration.

The third is cultural integration. In China, the urban-rural dual economic structure is confined by the urban-rural dual cultural structure for a long time. Breaking the urban-rural dual structure is fundamentally to achieve the cultural integration of urban and rural areas, which is one of the development goals of the new urbanization and agricultural modernization.
