On March 3, the third session of the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will open in Beijing. A reporter learned from interviews that this year the issue of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” remains the focus of this meeting.
⟦NL> From the proposal group of the third session of the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, it was learned that as of 5 p.m. on March 1, the conference had received 799 proposals, among which 292 were submitted by the central committees of various democratic parties, 326 were reviewed and placed on file, and the remaining proposals are still under review.
The reporter learned from the website of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference that among the proposals submitted by the central committees of various democratic parties, there was no shortage of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” content. The Central Committee of the China Democratic League prepared several proposals this year centered on “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” issues, including “On Pesticide Production, Use and Market Management” and “On Chinese Grain Enterprises Implementing Global Resource Allocation”; the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang will submit “Proposal on Improving Relevant Laws in China's Rural Land Contractual Management Rights.” In addition, the “Proposal on Standardizing the Development of the Water-Saving Irrigation Industry” to be submitted by the Central Committee of the China Association for Promoting Democracy also involves the agricultural field.
The 8 agriculture-sector members interviewed by telephone before the meeting also had proposal contents closely tied to industry hot topics. National Committee member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Fruit Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences Liu Fengzhi brought a proposal this year centering on suggestions for controlling soil non-point source pollution. He believes that transforming the agricultural development model, food security, increasing farmers' income and agricultural product safety remain the core contents of agricultural development, and hopes the state can make greater efforts in soil pollution control, strengthen soil improvement, and put forward suggestions on the scientific application and reduced application of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. National Committee member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and dean of the College of Resources and Environment at Huazhong Agricultural University Huang Qiaoyun continues to focus on soil this year, suggesting measures such as promoting the use of organic fertilizer to improve soil quality and achieve sustainable agricultural development.
One of the proposals this year by National Committee member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of Yuan Longping High-Tech Agriculture Co., Ltd. Wu Yueshi is intellectual property protection in the seed industry. This year's No. 1 Central Document raised agricultural science and technology to a new height, but Wu Yueshi believes that under the current situation, the dominant position of enterprises in innovation has not yet been established, and suggests that the state further value and strengthen intellectual property protection so as to stimulate the enthusiasm of enterprises for innovation. In addition, increasing agricultural insurance compensation and building a rural financial system are also areas of concern to him.
National Committee member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and dean of the College of Economics and Management at Northwest A&F University Huo Xuexi proposed in the proposal “Suggestions on Improving the Formation Mechanism of China's Food Safety Standards” that the formation of food safety standards is closely related to agricultural inputs, and put forward 5 suggestions on the standard formation mechanism.
In addition, the interviewed members also said that this year is a key year for China to comprehensively deepen reform, the opening year for comprehensively advancing the rule of law, and also the final year of the “12th Five-Year Plan.” The No. 1 Central Document points out the direction for agricultural modernization. Against this background, fields such as building a modern agricultural system, international trade in agricultural products and rural legal system construction will receive more attention at this year's two sessions.
