Xinhuanet, Beijing, February 1st, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council recently issued the "Several Opinions on Accelerating Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation and Continuously Enhancing the Agricultural Products Supply Ability." The full text is as follows:

In 2011, all regions and departments conscientiously implemented the central government’s decisions and arrangements, worked together and worked hard to overcome various difficulties and challenges, and agriculture and rural areas maintained a strong momentum of development. Grain production has stably reached a new level, farmers' incomes have increased significantly, water conservancy construction has accelerated significantly, rural people's livelihood continues to improve, and rural society is stable and peaceful. The situation in agriculture and rural areas is good, which has strongly supported the steady and rapid economic development and effectively maintained the overall stability of reform, development and stability.

Doing a good job in agricultural and rural work in 2012, stably developing agricultural production, and ensuring effective supply of agricultural products are crucial to promoting overall work and winning strategic initiative. At present, the international economic situation is complex and severe, the impact of global climate change is deepening, my country's shortage of arable land and fresh water resources is increasing, risks and uncertainties faced by agricultural development have increased significantly, and the task of consolidating and developing the good situation in agriculture and rural areas has become even more arduous. The whole party must always maintain a clear understanding. We must not be paralyzed by the increase in production and income for many years. We must not weaken investment just because the appearance of the countryside has improved. We must never slacken our work just because rural development continues to improve. We must continue our efforts and face difficulties. , forge ahead and strive to achieve new breakthroughs and new achievements from a high starting point.

To achieve sustained and stable development of agriculture and ensure long-term effective supply of agricultural products, the fundamental solution lies in science and technology. Agricultural science and technology is the basic support for ensuring national food security, an inevitable choice to break through resource and environmental constraints, and a decisive force in accelerating the construction of modern agriculture. It has obvious public, basic and social nature. We must seize the historical opportunity of the world's scientific and technological revolution that is just beginning, adhere to the strategy of revitalizing agriculture through science and education, put agricultural science and technology in a more prominent position, resolve to break through institutional barriers, significantly increase investment in agricultural science and technology, promote the leapfrog development of agricultural science and technology, and provide Agricultural production has increased, farmers' income has increased, and rural prosperity has been injected with strong impetus.

The overall requirements for agricultural and rural work in 2012 are: fully implement the spirit of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Plenary Sessions of the 17th Central Committee and the Central Economic Work Conference, and uphold the spirit of society with Chinese characteristics The great banner of socialism, guided by Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of "Three Represents", thoroughly implement the Scientific Outlook on Development, simultaneously promote industrialization, urbanization and agricultural modernization, focusing on strengthening science and technology to ensure development, strengthening production to ensure supply, and strengthening people's livelihood to ensure stability. , further intensify the policy of strengthening agriculture, benefiting farmers, and enriching farmers, strive to achieve good agricultural harvests, work together to promote a rapid increase in farmers' income, and strive to maintain harmony and stability in rural society.
