In order to protect and improve the quality of cultivated land, the Quality Center for Cultivated Land of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Areas advocates a new concept of 'pro-territorial cultivation' and explores new mechanisms for the cooperation of farmers and enterprises in the 'Three Agriculture' service.
On March 21, the Quality Center for Cultivated Land of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural and the Jinzheng Group held a signing ceremony for strategic cooperation. Xie Jianhua, deputy director of the Cultivated Land Quality Monitoring and Protection Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, said that he focused on the outstanding contradictions in agricultural development in China and changes in the domestic and foreign grain markets. Promote the reform of the agricultural supply side, implement the strategy of storing grain in the ground, storing grain in technology, and strengthening farmland protection and quality improvement.
Xie Jianhua believes that because soil quality is related to the food problem of more than one billion people, it is a top priority. Fostering fertile, healthy and high-quality soil is an important foundation for industrial prosperity. It is an important guarantee for ecological livability and promotes the protection and improvement of cultivated land quality. , It is an inevitable choice for the development of quality and agriculture and green development. The quality protection of arable land will usher in a rare historical opportunity.
Cultivated land is the most precious agricultural resource and the most important factor for production. However, there are hidden concerns about the quality of cultivated land. Specifically, on the one hand, the agricultural production model, which has long been oriented by grain production, has led to high investment in land and high yields. In the overloaded operation mode, regional arable land degradation has occurred; on the other hand, farmland ecological environment has deteriorated, industrial point source pollution has been encountered, agricultural non-point source pollution, and rural domestic sewage and domestic waste have resulted in a decline in arable land quality. Ecological regulation weakened, and soil-borne diseases occur frequently.
In addition, the infrastructure of arable land is weak. For example, fragmented land, irrigation and drainage, hydropower, and road facilities are not matched. According to statistics, nearly half of the arable land in China does not have irrigated water sources or lack basic irrigation conditions. Official data show that annual results are caused by meteorological disasters. The reduction in grain production exceeded 50 billion kilograms, of which the worst was the drought, which accounted for about 60% of the total loss.
Jin Yong, deputy director of the Agricultural Resources and Agricultural Division of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, also mentioned that the quality of cultivated land in China has deteriorated and the ecological environment has deteriorated. It cannot be attributed to fertilizers and pesticides. Strictly speaking, it should be caused by unreasonable use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. In this case, if it is used scientifically and reasonably, it will not only reduce the quality of cultivated land, but will also help improve the quality of cultivated land.
The protection of cultivated land quality is a daunting and long-term task. In September 2017, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Innovating Institutional Mechanisms to Promote Green Agricultural Development, which clearly stated that increasing government and social capital cooperation The promotion and application in the field of agricultural green development will lead the social capital to invest in the conservation of agricultural resources, the utilization of waste resources, the purification of animal diseases, and the restoration of ecological environment.
The Chairman of the Kim Jongda Group, Wan Lianbu, said that the agrochemical industry is ushering in an unprecedented golden age, facing the new trend of global green agricultural development and the historic opportunity for China to implement the strategy of rural revitalization.
In recent years, most of the series of policies circulated by the state surrounding the sustainable development of agriculture have been closely related to soil remediation, and 'pro-territorial cultivation' has become an important practice in implementing the strategy of rural rejuvenation.
Compared with traditional planting methods, the biggest difference in 'pro-soil planting' is the adoption of a friendly and friendly approach to planting operations. The goal is to achieve high quality, high yield, and improved quality of cultivated land. Through soil improvement, weight loss and efficiency gains. Quality improvement, comprehensive services and a series of principles and methods to effectively improve the quality of cultivated land, improve the quality and yield of crops, achieve green cultivation, increase quality and income, ensure the sustainable development of agriculture, and create a safe food chain from the source.
However, there are three challenges in promoting the practice of 'pro-territorial cultivation'. Wan Wanlian said: First, the quality of Chinese farmers is uneven, and smallholder farmers are the biggest challenge. They are not on the issue. The second is the farmers' acceptance of new technologies and new products, and their unsatisfactory learning aspirations. This is a real challenge. Third, it is not an easy task to change the planting concepts of farmers over the years. It needs a process of transformation. Faced with these challenges, he believes that the government can not be separated from the correct guidance and support of the government. The industry must also actively strive to promote service models and the concept of 'pro-territoriality'.
