Knowledge Gives Modern Farmers Wings to Soar
"Ensuring over a billion people eat their fill, eat well, and eat safely with peace of mind" is the new demand of the times that modern society places on China's agriculture. Eating one's fill involves "two guarantees": guaranteeing the abundance of today's "rice bag" and "vegetable basket," and guaranteeing the fullness of future generations' "rice bowl" and "dinner table." Eating well requires "two qualities": rich variety so that you can have whatever you want to eat, and excellent quality so that whatever you eat is good. Eating safely with peace of mind requires "two grasps": grasping standardized production to "grow" safety, and grasping whole-process supervision to "manage" peace of mind. Our country has many people but little land and scarce water, and agriculture remains mainly traditional, small-scale, and dispersed; eating one's fill is already not easy, eating well is even harder, and eating safely with peace of mind faces major tests. The way out for agriculture lies in modernization. We must rely on scientific and technological progress and innovative management systems to raise land output rates, resource utilization rates, and labor productivity, strengthen comprehensive agricultural production capacity to ensure supply, develop high-quality agricultural products to ensure safety, and achieve ecological and environmental sustainability to ensure that the "vast expanse of fertile farmland" can be cultivated forever.
