Signal: First mention of "agricultural new quality productivity"
Jin Wencheng, Director of the Rural Economic Research Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs:
The connotation of agricultural new quality productivity is relatively rich, including current biological breeding technology, unmanned aerial vehicle technology, artificial intelligence technology, and digital technology. These applications can effectively change the development of agricultural production and are of great significance for accelerating the process of agricultural modernization.
We must seize the opportunities of this technological and industrial revolution, focus on top-level design in developing new quality productivity, and construct institutional mechanisms that adapt to the development of new quality productivity from the institutional and policy levels to support the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. At the same time, we need to build a scientific and technological innovation system for agriculture, enhance the ability and level of scientific and technological innovation, create our own independent innovation platform, and use these platforms to promote the development of new quality productivity, injecting wings of science and technology into the modernization of agriculture and rural areas in China.
Lin Wanlong, Vice President of China Agricultural University:
An important feature of Chinese path to modernization is the modernization of a large population. How to ensure China's food security and supply of important agricultural products? In this regard, it is necessary to significantly improve our agricultural productivity. Therefore, the application of modern cutting-edge technology is very important for us, only in this way can we build a "strong agricultural country".
Tu Shengwei, a researcher at the Institute of Macroeconomics of the National Development and Reform Commission:
When we talk about new quality productivity, the first is technological innovation, the promotion of disruptive technologies, the optimization of resource allocation, and the transformation and upgrading of industries. Therefore, we see the application of digital technology in the agricultural and rural fields. It not only brings changes to the traditional production mode, but also brings a new development mode, which is the reverse driving of the demand side of urban and rural residents, thus promoting the standardization and scale production of agriculture.
