Let "farmers" become an enviable profession with a promising future

The national "Internet +" modern agricultural work conference just held is a national conference with overall and forward-looking significance in the field of agriculture. To implement the spirit of this meeting, it is of great significance for us to use Internet thinking and means to promote the construction of modern agriculture, promote the supply-side structural reform of agriculture, and increase the employment and income of farmers in innovative ways of agricultural growth. as well as promoting the development of "Internet +" agriculture, cultivating new farmers, and making farmers become enviable careers.

With its interconnected characteristics and far-reaching attributes, the Internet is inserting wings for the development of modern agriculture and providing a rare tuyere for the cultivation of new farmers. Farmers from the hard work of "falling eight petals with a drop of sweat" to the elegant completion of a click of the mouse; from "yelling through the streets" to building a sales empire on the Internet From "going home with cash" to getting agricultural loans at one stop at home, with the continuous improvement of the level of agricultural modernization and the continuous development of urban-rural integration in the process of "four modernizations", agriculture is increasingly coruscating new vigor and vitality. the countryside is increasingly becoming a desirable paradise. We can see that the former "farmers" facing loess will eventually complete the transformation from "identity" to "occupation". Become an enviable career.

The countryside is the birthplace of Chinese culture. Farming culture has a deep foundation in our country, and it has become an indelible cultural gene in the blood of Chinese people. In history, countless literati and poets left beautiful rural poems in Tang and Song poems. Nowadays, under the tide of urbanization and industrialization, the nature of longing for nature and closeness to land in the hearts of people living in the reinforced concrete "jungle" is often awakened. Returning to the spirit of the countryside has also become a heartfelt choice for more and more urban people. When urbanization develops to a certain extent, the city will no longer be a scarce resource, and the fresh air, good ecological environment and slow pace of life in the countryside will be favored by more and more people. Farming is the return of human nature. since the birth of human beings, most of the time in the long history has been engaged in agriculture and communicating with living things. Therefore, we believe that the most ideal career in the future is farming, and farmers will become enviable careers.

Farmers will become enviable occupations because the forces of technology and mechanization are liberating farmers from "manual work" and "tiredness". At present, the comprehensive mechanization level of major crops in China has exceeded 61%, and the comprehensive contribution rate of agricultural science and technology has exceeded 56%. From prenatal, mid-production to post-natal, from sowing, management to harvest, agricultural machinery is playing a more and more important role in agricultural production. "machine replacement" is gradually becoming a reality, and more and more farmers marked by "mud legs" will live a life of "ten fingers free of mud".

Farmers will become an enviable career because beautiful rural construction is building the countryside into a beautiful home for people to live and work in peace and contentment. At present, 30% of the villages across the country have carried out pilot planning and construction, strengthening the construction of infrastructure such as water circuits, gas and housing networks in rural areas, and a number of new villages with bright roads, clean water and clean ponds, and clean villages have emerged. From the green brick and daiwa of the Jiangnan water village to the ancient courtyard of the northern plain, more and more rural areas are not only improving their "appearance", but also creating a happy life of harmony between relatives and friends and colorful life.

Because of this, we are pleased to see that more and more migrant workers, college and secondary school graduates and veterans, and even business elites and returnees begin to return home to engage in agricultural entrepreneurship and innovation and become new farmers. They have brought advanced science and technology, management, business philosophy, as well as modern information technology, including Internet technology, and use social media such as Wechat and Weibo and various e-commerce platforms to creatively sell characteristic agricultural products. and introduce cultural creativity into the agricultural industry. "Peasant" has returned from identity title to professional title, and has increasingly become a decent and dignified profession.

At the same time, we should also see that the economic and social development in rural areas lags behind, and the problem of low income of traditional agriculture still exists. Who and how to farm the land is still an important problem we are facing. In the journey of agricultural modernization, comprehensive measures are needed to make farmers rely on the development of agriculture to become rich and truly become enviable occupations.

It is necessary to constantly strengthen support for agriculture and use the power of science and technology to tap the potential to increase income. We will vigorously support new business entities such as family farms, professional large households, farmers' cooperatives and leading industrial enterprises. Speed up the development of "intelligent agriculture", help farmers build a number of experimental and demonstration bases for field planting, facility horticulture, and large-scale breeding of the Internet of things, and promote a number of cost-saving and efficiency-increasing agricultural Internet of things application models. take the lead in building a number of test and demonstration bases in the national modern agricultural demonstration zone to make a breakthrough.

It is necessary to continuously promote farmers' information skills training and help more new-type farmers embark on the information express of "Internet +." We will carry out skills training such as mobile phone applications for farmers on a large scale, so that as many farmers as possible can access the Internet. It is necessary to speed up the cultivation of new types of agricultural operators as a major strategy, focus on attracting young people to work in agriculture and cultivating professional farmers, and strive to establish a special policy mechanism. to provide a solid manpower foundation and guarantee for agricultural modernization and the sustained and healthy development of agriculture. We will promote migrant workers, college students and retired soldiers to return home to start their own businesses and develop modern agriculture, forming an upsurge of new farmers' mass entrepreneurship and innovation. Integrate entrepreneurial resources and expand entrepreneurial space through "Internet +".

It is necessary to continuously strengthen the upgrading of rural infrastructure and public services, and turn rural areas into a paradise for entrepreneurship and innovation and wealth growth. We will promote the construction of a comprehensive information service platform, strengthen the "three services" of production technology, policies and regulations, and market information, strengthen the collection, development and utilization of big data in agricultural and rural areas, and help farmers develop production, increase income and become rich by means of information. We should also promote agricultural e-commerce, vigorously develop the community direct distribution of agricultural products, rest assured that agricultural materials go to the countryside and leisure agriculture online marketing, so that good products produced by farmers engaged in agriculture can be sold at a good price.

The proportion of agricultural output value is declining, but the basic position will not be shaken, and agriculture is telling a more wonderful story; the population of farming is decreasing, but the quality of practitioners will continue to improve, and farmers will become enviable occupations; the countryside will never be more prosperous than the city, but the genes of agricultural civilization in our blood will eventually lead our body and mind to return to the green spiritual home. This is the hope and charm of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" in the new era.
