How to develop modern agriculture vigorously?

Modern agriculture depends on high-tech investment. Traditional agriculture mainly relies on the input of resources, while modern agriculture increasingly relies on the input of new technologies, including biotechnology, information technology, farming technology, water-saving irrigation technology and other agricultural high-tech. For example, the new breakthrough of super rice breeding technology in China is to use modern biotechnology to achieve a leap of 800 kilograms per mu and lead a new revolution in rice production. With the application of new technology, the growth mode of modern agriculture has changed from relying solely on resources to mainly relying on improving the utilization rate of resources and the ability of sustainable development.

Modern agriculture is the road to big market. Different from the self-sufficiency orientation and relatively closed environment of traditional agriculture, most economic activities of modern agriculture are brought into market transactions, and the commodity rate of agricultural products is very high. Production is mainly to meet market demand, with a high degree of scale, industrialization and marketization. For example, Henan Shuanghui Group and Inner Mongolia Yili Group have developed into large enterprise groups which are connected by production, supply and marketing and integrated by trade, industry and agriculture.

Modern agriculture is a multi-functional development. With the development of economy and the improvement of people's living standards, modern agriculture is not limited to the supply function of traditional agriculture, but its breadth and depth have greatly increased. For example, through the extension of agricultural industrial chain, the function of agriculture to absorb rural labor force and increase employment income is obviously enhanced; Through the development and utilization of various agricultural resources and the development of "one village, one product" characteristic economy, agriculture began to undertake the functions of life and leisure, ecological protection, tourism and vacation, cultural inheritance, education and so on, and thus formed a variety of new agricultural forms such as ecological protection agriculture, leisure sightseeing agriculture, circular agriculture and service agriculture.

Generally speaking, modern agriculture has changed the basic features of traditional agriculture and has new connotations, functions and positioning. It can be said that the transformation from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture is an inevitable requirement to realize agricultural modernization and an indispensable part of the whole economic and social modernization.
