What a surprise! The profession as a farmer is slowly disappearing!

The number of farmers in China is slowly decreasing and will continue to decline. Some people may not believe it and think that the central authorities pay more and more attention to the issues of agriculture, rural areas and farmers year after year, and agriculture will only become stronger and stronger, and it is impossible for farmers to decrease. In fact, the country is developing agriculture, but in recent years it has advocated agricultural mechanization and modernization. With the help of machinery, the number of farmers needed for the same area of arable land will be greatly reduced.

Scale Management is the trend of Agricultural Modernization

The No. 1 document of the CPC Central Committee has such a paragraph: "persist in taking household management as the basis, and support new agricultural operators and new agricultural services to become the backbone of the construction of modern agriculture." give full play to the leading functions of various forms of moderate scale operation in the application of agricultural machinery and scientific and technological achievements, green development, market development, and so on. " Although the foundation is still family operation, large-scale operation has shown obvious advantages because it is convenient for mechanical operation, so it has high efficiency and low labor cost. if coupled with the support of national policies, large-scale operation will certainly develop gradually. Large-scale operation not only improves the planting efficiency, but also makes a large number of farmers become operators and migrant workers!

The process of urbanization is gradually speeding up.

The development process of urbanization in China is accelerating year by year, and the urbanization rate has exceeded 50%, which is the embodiment of the national economic capacity and represents the development of social productive forces in our country. But at the same time, it also means that more farmers are entering the cities, the countryside is decreasing, and the number of farmers is decreasing. In the previous article, the editor mentioned the problem of the aging of the rural population, which to some extent shows that a large number of young and middle-aged people from rural areas have entered the cities. With the process of rapid urbanization, many farmers have gradually changed their careers!

The paid withdrawal of homestead has been hotly discussed.

China will establish a voluntary and paid withdrawal mechanism for residential land, the National Development and Reform Commission said at a press conference on April 19, 2016. As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused widespread discussion. The main purpose of this mechanism is to encourage farmers who work in cities to withdraw from the homestead for a fee and to avoid the waste of resources caused by the idleness of rural homestead. But when the farmers who come to the city no longer own homestead, it means that they have completely lost the title of "farmer"!

The cancellation of agricultural hukou causes farmers' concern.

The policy of "abolishing agricultural hukou" has also triggered explosive discussions, but there are many misunderstandings about this policy. Many people think that without agricultural hukou, there will be no land and rights in rural areas, so they are very worried, but in fact, the purpose of abolishing agricultural hukou is to enable farmers to enjoy many benefits of urban residents, and will not lose their houses and land, nor will they be forced into urban life. However, it is unclear whether this policy will play a role in promoting the reduction of farmers.

Perhaps in the future, the profession of farmers will disappear completely and will be replaced by farm operators and labourers, but agriculture will certainly move forward in the direction of promoting the development of the country, even without the occupation of farmers. We'll have a better life, too!
