Key points of agricultural infrastructure construction

Drought and flood disasters are serious disasters, which have been threatening agriculture in China. We must make up our minds to carry out large-scale agricultural infrastructure construction focusing on farmland water conservancy and improve the ability of disaster prevention and reduction. Complete the planned dangerous reservoir reinforcement task on schedule. Promote the continuous construction and water-saving transformation of large and medium-sized irrigation areas, speed up the construction of terminal canal systems, and solve the "last mile" problem. In 20 10, 86.2 billion yuan will be arranged to promote the construction of small-scale farmland water conservancy, and a number of key counties for small-scale farmland water conservancy construction will be added. Encourage farmers to voluntarily invest in small water conservancy facilities that directly benefit, especially in the construction and transformation of ponds and water cellars in hilly areas. Comprehensive use of engineering, agronomy, management and other measures, the development of water-saving irrigation agriculture, encourage qualified places to promote drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation and other water-saving technologies. Expand soil testing and formula fertilization, increase the scale and scope of soil organic matter subsidies, popularize conservation tillage techniques, implement dry farming demonstration projects, and improve and improve the quality of cultivated land.

Strengthen the capacity building of agricultural science and technology innovation and extension. Focusing on the requirements of modern agricultural development, we should clarify the direction and focus of agricultural scientific and technological innovation, increase capital investment, integrate scientific research forces, and strive to make major breakthroughs in key areas and core technologies. First, put the emphasis of agricultural science and technology on the cultivation of improved varieties. China is the country with the largest seed consumption in the world, but there are great hidden dangers in the development of seed industry, which poses a serious threat to China's food security and agricultural production safety. It is necessary to speed up the implementation of major scientific and technological projects to cultivate new varieties of genetically modified organisms, promote the integration of breeding, reproduction and promotion, speed up the merger and reorganization of domestic seed enterprises and industrial integration, guide the combination of seed enterprises and scientific research units, focus on cultivating large-scale seed enterprises, and improve the core competitiveness of China's seed industry. The second is to improve public service organizations such as township or regional agricultural extension, expand the reform of grass-roots agricultural extension system and build demonstration counties, develop diversified and socialized agricultural extension service organizations, start the special post plan of grass-roots agricultural extension organizations, and encourage and guide all kinds of agricultural technicians to serve at the grass-roots level. The third is to improve the level of agricultural mechanization. In 20 10, the subsidy for purchasing agricultural machinery and tools reached14.5 billion yuan. Accelerate the popularization and application of advanced and applicable agricultural machinery, focusing on speeding up the mechanization of subsoiling and soil preparation, returning straw to the field, and transplanting rice seedlings. Popularize the combination of agricultural machinery and agronomic measures. Support the development of large-scale agricultural machinery and professional cooperatives, and promote the marketization, specialization and industrialization of agricultural machinery services.
