CCTV News: On February 23, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Further Deepening Rural Reform and Solidly Promoting the Comprehensive Revitalization of Rural Areas" was announced to the public. This is the 13th No. 1 document that the central government has issued in succession to guide the work of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. What are the highlights of this year's Central Document No. 1? Let’s see the expert interpretation.

Experts said that this year's Central Document No. 1 theme continues to focus on the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas, and there are new adjustments in the layout structure, focusing on "two sustainments" and "four focus".

The "two sustained" are to continuously enhance the supply guarantee capacity of important agricultural products such as grain; to continuously consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation. Through the "two sustainments", we will firmly maintain the bottom line of food security and the bottom line of avoiding large-scale relapse into poverty.

The "four focus" is to focus on strengthening the county-level industries to enrich the people, promote rural construction, improve the rural governance system, and improve factor guarantees and optimize the allocation system and mechanism. Through the "four efforts", we will improve the support system for strengthening agriculture, benefiting farmers and enriching farmers, and comprehensively promote rural revitalization.

This year's Central Document No. 1 also uses new expressions on the specific development goals of the "three rural issues", specifically "three increases" and "three updates".

Jin Wencheng, director of the Rural Economic Research Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that anchoring the goal of building an agricultural power is to achieve agricultural efficiency, rural vitality, and farmers' income. So to achieve the "three mores" means that the foundation of agriculture is more stable, rural areas are more prosperous, and farmers' lives are more prosperous.

Develop new agricultural quality productivity according to local conditions

To build an agricultural power, the weapon lies in science and technology. A new proposal of the Central Document No. 1 is to lead the aggregation of advanced production factors with scientific and technological innovation and develop new agricultural productivity according to local conditions.

Experts said that to develop new agricultural productivity according to local conditions, we must fully apply the achievements of a new round of scientific and technological revolution represented by artificial intelligence, digital technology, and modern biotechnology to comprehensively improve the total factor productivity of agriculture.

Lin Wanlong, vice president of China Agricultural University, said: "As a big country with a large population and limited resources, how can we ensure China's food security and the supply of important agricultural products? In this regard, we need to significantly improve our agricultural productivity in order to achieve the huge modernization of the population scale we call it. In this regard, modern cutting-edge technology application is very important for us."

Experts said that we must do a good job in top-level institutional design and build a system and mechanism to adapt to the development of new quality productivity. Cultivate strategic scientists and young talents to drive my country's agricultural productivity to achieve leapfrog development and progress overall. At the same time, build an agricultural science and technology innovation system and create an independent innovation platform to promote the development of new quality productivity and empower the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas.
