The first central document in 2021 pointed out that seeds are the foundation of agricultural modernization.We will work to turn the seed industry around, accelerate the implementation of major scientific and technological projects in agricultural biological breeding, and carry out joint research on improved crop varieties, livestock and poultry varieties.At the same time, we will resolutely guard the red line of 1.8billion hectares of farmland, take measures to "grow teeth", and implement the strictest possible farmland protection system.
We will comprehensively promote rural revitalization and accelerate agricultural and rural modernization. With the goal of ensuring stable and increased grain output, what measures will be taken to ensure food security, stabilize the basic structure of agriculture, strengthen weak links, strengthen our strengths, and enhance our capacity for independent innovation?Let's see what the delegates have to say.
In grain work, the key is to hold the bull by the nose.General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that we should solve the problem of seeds and arable land.To ensure food security, the key lies in implementing the strategy of storing grain in land and technology.Science and technology are the fundamental way out for grain production. We should uphold the self-reliance and self-improvement of agricultural science and technology, speed up the implementation of major scientific and technological projects in agricultural biological breeding, advance the industrial application of biological breeding in an orderly manner, and resolutely win a victory over the seed industry.Arable land is the lifeblood of grain production. We will take tough measures to "grow teeth" and implement the strictest possible system for protecting arable land. We will strictly guard against the red line of 1.8 billion mu of arable land, and resolutely prevent the conversion of arable land into non-agricultural land and the conversion of arable land into non-grain land.
Good seed and arable land, grasp the basic food security.For a period of time, China's seed and arable land situation, how to play a good seed industry, how to protect arable land, become a hot topic, and continued to this year's national two sessions.

The heavy seed industry protects cultivated land and lays a solid foundation for food security strategy
The party and the state have always attached great importance to seed industry.General Secretary Xi Jinping has vowed to promote the ethnic seed industry.To expand and strengthen the national seed industry, the key is to cultivate excellent varieties with independent intellectual property rights to ensure national food security from the source.At present, our country seed situation how, get close attention.
"After tackling key breeding technologies during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the contribution rate of improved varieties to grain increase has reached 54.85 percent in staple crops such as rice and wheat.The coverage rate of improved varieties of crops was above 96%, and the area of independently bred varieties accounted for more than 95%.Among them, rice and wheat have achieved complete self-sufficiency."Wan Jianmin, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and vice president of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that "Chinese grain is mainly grown in China" in grain production.
Today, grain seeds in the satisfaction of "eat well" on the basis of "eat well" forward."The quality of our new japonica rice variety 'Ningxiangjing 9' is comparable to that of Japan's Yue Guang rice. It has won the gold Medal of high-quality Japonica rice in the third National Evaluation of Quality Rice Varieties and Taste Quality, and has been widely used.The new trough protein rice variety 'W088' has been developed to produce rice with a low glycemic index, which is suitable for the special population with chronic kidney disease and diabetes.Wan Jianmin introduced.
On the bright report card of our country seed industry, livestock and poultry and aquatic products also have not common performance.It is understood that pigs, cattle and sheep and other livestock and poultry and some characteristic aquatic products based on domestic security, livestock, poultry, aquatic core seed self-sufficiency rate respectively reached 75% and 85%, for food and important agricultural and sideline products to provide a key guarantee and support.
"Great progress has been made in tackling key technologies in livestock and poultry breeding in China.""Said Chen Mengshan, a member of the CPPCC National Committee and director of the National Food and Nutrition Advisory Committee.He introduced, for example, the "Chinese livestock black pig" new breed into the first generation of breeding;The broiler gene chip breeding technology leads the world, and breeds new varieties such as "Jingxing Yellow chicken" with high grain quality and disease resistance.New varieties such as "New white feather duck" with high lean meat rate and feed conversion rate have been cultivated to break the monopoly situation of meat duck varieties long term by foreign countries.
Seeds carry the promise of a bumper harvest, and cultivated land breeds a bumper harvest of fruit.Arable land as the lifeblood of food production, related to the food of more than a billion people, must not have any mistakes.In order to protect arable land, the CPC Central Committee has repeatedly called for ensuring that the red line of 1.8 billion mu of farmland is maintained, while doing everything possible to improve the quality of arable land and strengthen and promote the development of high-standard farmland.
"High-standard farmland construction is aimed at building high-yield and stable farmland, steadily increasing overall grain production capacity and ensuring long-term grain security."Zhao Wanping, deputy president of the National People's Congress and Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences, introduced that in recent years, all regions have strengthened the implementation of responsibilities, steadily promoted the construction of high-standard farmland, and accelerated the short board of farmland infrastructure.
China has built 800 million mu of high-standard farmland since the 18th CPC National Congress, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs."Through the construction of high-standard farmland, the foundation and conditions for large-scale cultivation across the country have been greatly improved, creating the necessary basic conditions for rural land transfer, the development of facility agriculture and agricultural modernization."Zhao Wanping said.
