The Modernization of Agriculture and Rural Areas:Key Points,Difficulties,and Promotion Paths
The modernization of agriculture and rural areas is the organic integration of agricultural modernization,rural modernization,and farmer modernization under the background of urban-rural integration.To analyze the process of the modernization of agriculture and rural areas,based on the perspective of"three modemizations and one integration",it is expected that China can basically achieve the set goal of agricultural modernization between 2027 and 2030,and achieve the set goal of"three modernizations and one integration"around 2033.In recent ten years,the coordination degree of China's"three modernizations and one integration"system has been continuously improved,but the modernization of farmers has become the prominent shortcoming affecting the overall process of the modernization of agriculture and rural areas.In the new era,the focus of the modernization of agriculture and rural area is:to set the two-stage goals of basically achieving modernization of agriculture and rural areas by 2035 and fully achieving strong agriculture,beautiful countryside,and wealthy farmers by 2050.The approach is to a)follow improve each"independent item"with the idea of"keeping the bottom line,making up for shortcomings,seeking breakthroughs,and promoting improvement",b)conduct the"cross item"according to the connections between agricultural modernization,rural modernization and farmer modernization,and c)utilize the"series item"by running the concept of urban-rural integrated development through the whole process of the modernization of agriculture and rural areas.China should plan to cope with the prominent contradictions,key problems,and institutional obstacles that are difficult to resolve in medium-and long-term agricultural and rural work.Examples are coordinating the conflict between the goals of coordinating food security and increasing farmers'incomes,mitigating the contradiction between the development of decentralized small farmers and modem large agriculture,reducing the institutional obstacles to promoting urban-rural integration,resolving the hard problem of rural hollowing out and population aging,and promoting the reform of the mechanism for activating rural idle resources.In view of the key points and difficulties in the modernization of agriculture and rural areas,it is necessary to take the reform,innovation,and development of important fields and weak sections in agriculture and rural areas as the breakthrough point,adhere to the"three modernizations and one integration"to promote the modernization of agriculture and rural areas in a coordinated manner,give more prominence to the modernization of farmers,and strive to improve the holistic,coordinated,forward-looking and endogenous nature of the modernization of agriculture and rural areas.We will achieve coordinated development of a higher level,a better structure,and better quality with regard to agricultural modernization,rural modernization,and farmer modernization on the basis of the integration of urban and rural areas.
