What are the party’s current policies to benefit farmers?

The Party Central Committee and the State Council have always attached great importance to agriculture, rural areas and farmers. In 2004, we focused on strengthening agriculture in macro-control and implemented a series of more direct and powerful policy measures. All regions and departments have conscientiously implemented the central government's decisions, protected and mobilized farmers' enthusiasm, and rural areas have shown a good development situation. There has been an important turnaround in grain production, farmers' income has grown rapidly, rural reform has taken major steps, and rural social undertakings have made new progress. This plays a vital role in promoting national economic development and maintaining social stability. However, we must clearly see that agriculture is still a weak link in the development of the national economy. The situation of insufficient investment and fragile foundation has not changed. The long-term mechanism for increasing grain production and farmers' income has not been established. There are deep-seated contradictions that restrict the development of agriculture and rural areas. The situation of obvious lag in rural economic and social development has not been eliminated. The situation of obvious lag in rural economic and social development has not been fundamentally changed. Rural reform and development are still in a difficult climbing and overcoming stage. The task of maintaining the good momentum of rural development is very arduous.

The overall requirements for agriculture and rural work in 2005 are: conscientiously implement the spirit of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Third and Fourth Plenary Sessions of the 16th Central Committee, fully implement the Scientific Outlook on Development, adhere to the strategy of coordinating urban and rural development, and adhere to In line with the policy of "giving more, taking less and letting go", we will stabilize, improve and strengthen various supporting agricultural policies, effectively strengthen the construction of comprehensive agricultural production capacity, continue to adjust the agricultural and rural economic structure, further deepen rural reform, and strive to achieve stable increase in grain production, farmers Continue to increase income and promote comprehensive rural economic and social development.

To strengthen the agricultural foundation and prosper the rural economy, we must continue to take comprehensive measures. At present and in the future, we must regard strengthening the construction of agricultural infrastructure, accelerating the progress of agricultural science and technology, and improving comprehensive agricultural production capabilities as a major and urgent strategic task, and we must pay close attention to it. This is not only the material basis for ensuring national food security, but also a necessary condition for increasing farmers' income; it is not only an urgent need to solve the outstanding contradictions in current agricultural development, but also a strategic choice to enhance the potential of agricultural development; it is not only a major measure to promote rural economic development, but also a strategic choice to enhance the potential of agricultural development. It is an important guarantee for achieving rural social progress. If we grasp this key point, we will grasp the key to agricultural development; if we grasp this link, we will grasp the foundation of agricultural modernization; if we do this job well, we will lay a solid foundation for the comprehensive construction of a well-off society in rural areas. It is necessary to further mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers to engage in farming and growing grains and the enthusiasm of local governments to focus on agriculture and grain, based on strict protection of cultivated land, focusing on strengthening farmland water conservancy construction, supporting by promoting scientific and technological progress, and ensuring by improving service systems, and strive to After several years of hard work, the material and technical conditions of agriculture have been significantly improved, land output and labor productivity have been significantly improved, and agricultural comprehensive benefits and competitiveness have been significantly enhanced.

1. Stabilize, improve and strengthen policies to support agricultural development and further mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers

(1) Continue to increase the implementation of policies such as "two exemptions and exemptions, three subsidies". Reducing or reducing agricultural taxes, canceling taxes on agricultural specialties except tobacco leaves, providing direct subsidies to grain farmers, and providing farmers in some areas with subsidies for improved seeds and agricultural machinery purchase subsidies are major measures taken by the Party Central Committee and the State Council to strengthen agriculture and grain production. It is of great significance to mobilize farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain and protect and improve their grain production capacity. These effective policies cannot be changed, the benefits to farmers cannot be reduced, and the intensity of supporting agriculture must be continuously increased. Further expand the scope of agricultural tax exemptions and increase agricultural tax reductions. In 2005, a pilot program of agricultural tax exemption was implemented in key counties for national poverty alleviation and development work, and agricultural tax rates were further reduced in other areas. Conduct pilot projects to eliminate animal husbandry taxes in pastoral areas. State-owned agricultural reclamation enterprises implement the same agricultural tax reduction and exemption policies as those in their respective locations. Local fiscal revenue reduced by the reduction or exemption of agricultural (animal husbandry) taxes will be appropriately subsidized by special transfer payments arranged by the central government. Where conditions permit, localities may independently decide to conduct pilot agricultural tax exemptions. Direct subsidies will continue to be provided to grain farmers, and subsidies can be further increased where conditions permit. The central government will continue to increase subsidies for improved seeds and subsidy funds for the purchase of agricultural machinery, and local finance must also arrange certain subsidies for improved seeds and subsidy funds for the purchase of agricultural machinery based on local financial resources and actual agricultural development. Continue to implement the minimum purchase price policy for key grain varieties in short supply in main producing areas, and gradually establish and improve systems and mechanisms to stabilize grain market prices and protect the interests of grain farmers. We must improve the supply and market management of agricultural production materials, continue to implement the policy of limiting the ex-factory price of fertilizers, rationally regulate the import and export of chemical fertilizers through taxation and other means, control the excessive rise in the price of agricultural materials, and severely crack down on the production and sale of counterfeit and shoddy agricultural production materials and other forms of cheating farmers. Behavior harmful to agriculture.

(2) Effectively strengthen support for major grain-producing areas. In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of local governments to develop grain production and alleviate the financial difficulties in the central and western regions, especially in the counties and townships in the main grain-producing areas, the central government must take effective measures to determine the main grain-producing counties based on factors such as grain sown area, output, and commodity volume. Incentives and subsidies are given through transfer payments. Establish an interest coordination mechanism between the main grain production areas and main sales areas, adjust the central government's subsidy ratio to the grain risk fund, and raise certain funds through other economic means to support the main grain production areas to strengthen production capacity building. Relevant departments must pay close attention to The study proposes specific implementation plans.

(3) Establish stable and growing funding channels to support agriculture.

We must be determined to adjust the national income distribution structure. On the basis of stabilizing existing agricultural inputs, new fiscal expenditures and fixed asset investments must be effectively tilted toward agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, and gradually establish a stable agricultural input growth mechanism. In response to the current situation where farmland water conservancy facilities are weak and in urgent need of improvement, starting from 2005, while continuing to build large and medium-sized farmland water conservancy infrastructure, we will continue to increase investment in the construction of small farmland water conservancy infrastructure. The central and provincial finances should, on the basis of integrating relevant special funds, allocate part of the funds from the new fiscal revenue in the budget, set up special funds to subsidize the construction of small farmland water conservancy facilities, and provide support to farmers who invest in the construction of small farmland water conservancy facilities. . Regular fixed asset investment and government bond funds within the budget should be increased to arrange small farmland water conservancy infrastructure construction projects. The land transfer fee is used for agricultural land development and paid use fees for new construction land. A certain amount of funds must be arranged for small farmland water conservancy construction in conjunction with land development and consolidation. Governments at the city and county levels must also effectively increase investment in small farmland water conservancy construction. It is necessary to legislate as soon as possible to institutionalize and standardize the country's major agricultural support policies.

2. Resolutely implement the strictest cultivated land protection system and effectively improve the quality of cultivated land

(4) Strictly protect cultivated land. Control the occupation of cultivated land by non-agricultural construction to ensure that the total amount of basic farmland is not reduced, the quality is not degraded, and the use is not changed, and this is implemented to land plots and farmers. It is strictly prohibited to occupy basic farmland, dig ponds to raise fish, plant trees, or conduct other activities that damage the cultivated layer. Revise the interim regulations on farmland occupation tax, increase the farmland occupation tax rate, and strictly control the reduction and exemption. We will do a good job in the overall land use planning of townships and villages and towns, and guide farmers and rural areas to use land intensively. Strengthen the management of collective construction land and farmers' homesteads, encourage rural land consolidation and village improvement, promote the concentration of new rural industries in towns and districts, and improve the utilization rate of various types of rural land. Accelerate the reform of rural land expropriation and expropriation systems.

(5) Conscientiously implement the rural land contracting policy. In view of the problems that exist in some places such as arbitrarily taking back farmers' contracted land and forcing farmers to transfer their contracted land, all localities must conduct a comprehensive inspection of the implementation of the second-round land contracting policy, and those who violate laws and policies must be resolutely corrected and held accountable. It is necessary to properly handle land contract disputes, resolve conflicts in a timely manner, and safeguard farmers' legitimate rights and interests. We must respect and protect the rights of farmers to own contracted land and engage in agricultural production, and respect and protect the land contract rights and operational autonomy of migrant farmers. The transfer of contracted management rights and the development of moderate-scale operations must be carried out voluntarily and paid by farmers in accordance with the law to prevent the one-sided pursuit of land concentration. All provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government should formulate implementation measures for the Rural Land Contract Law as soon as possible.

(6) Work hard to fertilize the soil. The central and provincial finances should significantly increase investment in comprehensive agricultural development, and the new funds will be mainly allocated to the main grain-producing areas for the transformation of medium- and low-yield fields and the construction of high-standard basic farmland. We will do a good job in the construction of the "Fertile Soil Project", increase investment, intensify soil fertility investigation and monitoring, establish a national dynamic monitoring and early warning system for farmland quality as soon as possible, and provide guidance and services for farmers to farm scientifically. Reform traditional farming methods and develop conservation farming. Promote soil testing and formulated fertilization, promote comprehensive utilization and harmless treatment of organic fertilizers, and guide farmers to apply more farmyard manure to increase soil organic matter.

3. Strengthen farmland water conservancy and ecological construction, and improve agriculture’s ability to resist natural disasters

(7) Accelerate the implementation of supporting facilities for the renewal of large-scale irrigation areas centered on water-saving transformation. New investment in fixed assets should focus on the continued construction of supporting facilities in large irrigation areas, and investment should be continuously increased to improve field engineering construction, update and renovate aging mechanical and electrical equipment, and improve the irrigation and drainage system. Carry out pilot projects for the construction of final canals in the continuation of supporting irrigation areas. Continue to promote water-saving irrigation demonstrations and conduct large-scale construction pilot projects in major grain-producing areas. Areas where conditions permit must accelerate the pace of rural water conservancy modernization. Areas with better water source conditions should combine the construction of key water conservancy hubs to expand the irrigation area. Drought and water-scarce areas should actively develop water-saving dry farming and continue to build dry farming demonstration areas. All localities should strengthen irrigation water metering and actively implement total water consumption control and quota management. Since 2005, some areas have been selected to carry out pilot projects to provide farmers with subsidies for purchasing water-saving equipment. Continue to eliminate dangerous reservoirs and strengthen them. Pay close attention to the construction of local medium-sized water sources, small and medium-sized river management and other projects.

(8) Pay close attention to the construction of small farmland water conservancy. Focus on the construction of field irrigation and drainage projects, small irrigation areas, and drought-resistant water source projects in non-irrigated areas. We will intensify efforts to control saline-alkali and waterlogging damage in medium- and low-yielding fields in major grain-producing areas. Accelerate the construction of rainwater collection and utilization projects in hilly mountainous areas and other arid and water-scarce areas. Local governments must effectively assume the responsibility for improving small farmland water conservancy construction. While resolutely abolishing the labor accumulation and voluntary labor systems on time, all localities must actively explore new mechanisms and new methods for carrying out farmland water conservancy infrastructure construction under the new situation. It is necessary to strictly distinguish the policy boundary between increasing the burden on farmers and farmers' voluntary investment in work to improve their own production and living conditions, carry forward the good tradition of farmers' self-reliance, and on the premise of effectively strengthening democratic decision-making and democratic management, based on voluntary mutual benefit, focusing on actual results, and controlling standards , Strict and standardized principles should be followed to guide farmers to invest in the construction of small farmland water conservancy facilities that directly benefit. The state will provide appropriate subsidies to farmers for the materials needed to build small and micro water conservancy facilities. Relevant departments should promptly study and formulate specific measures.

(9) Persevere in the construction of key ecological projects.

Continue to implement natural forest protection and other projects and improve relevant policies. The work of returning farmland to forests must be scientifically planned, focused on key points, focused on practical results, and steadily advanced. It is necessary to take effective measures to build basic grain fields in the areas where farmland is converted to forest, cultivate follow-up industries, effectively solve the long-term livelihood problems of farmers, and further consolidate the results of converting farmland to forest. We will do a good job in building the protective forest system and farmland forest network to create a good ecological barrier for the construction of high-standard farmland. Effectively carry out desertification prevention and control projects such as controlling the sources of sandstorms in Beijing and Tianjin. Continue to promote comprehensive development of mountainous areas. Further strengthen grassland construction and protection, accelerate the implementation of the project of returning grazing land to grassland, improve water conservancy construction in pastoral areas, and strengthen forest and grassland fire prevention and grassland rodent and insect pest control. Continue to do a good job in water and soil conservation in key river basins such as the Yangtze River and Yellow River, adopt various measures such as check dams to promote comprehensive management of small watersheds, and strengthen comprehensive management of water and soil erosion in the hilly red soil areas in the south, the black soil hilly areas in the northeast, and the rocky desertification areas in the southwest. . Effectively prevent and control farmland and water pollution.

Continue to arrange funds for the transformation of agricultural scientific and technological achievements and funds for the introduction of foreign advanced agricultural technologies.

(12) Accelerate the reform of the agricultural technology extension system. It is necessary to intensify the reform of the agricultural technology extension system in accordance with the requirements of strengthening public welfare functions and activating commercial services. The state's public welfare agricultural technology promotion agencies are mainly responsible for the introduction, testing and demonstration of key technologies, monitoring, forecasting, prevention and treatment of crop diseases and insect pests, animal diseases and agricultural disasters, and quality and safety testing, monitoring and mandatory inspection of agricultural products during the production process. , agricultural resources, agricultural ecological environment and agricultural input use monitoring, water resources management and flood prevention and drought relief, agricultural public information and training and education services and other functions. For public welfare technology promotion work, finance at all levels must ensure funding. At the same time, we actively and steadily separate general technology promotion and operational services and operate them in a market-oriented manner. Give full play to the role of agricultural colleges in promoting agricultural technology. Actively cultivate farmers' professional technical associations and agricultural science and technology enterprises. Explore new mechanisms and methods for agricultural technology extension, implement a bidding system for agricultural technology extension projects, and encourage various agricultural technology extension organizations, personnel and related enterprises to participate in applications fairly. On the basis of summarizing the pilot experience, relevant departments should promptly put forward guidance on strengthening the construction of the agricultural technology extension system.

5. Strengthen rural infrastructure construction and improve the agricultural development environment

(13) Increase the construction of small rural infrastructure. It is necessary to continue to increase the investment scale of the "six small projects" in rural areas, expand the scope of construction, and improve the quality of the projects. On the basis of consolidating the achievements in alleviating drinking water difficulties for people and livestock, we must attach great importance to rural drinking water safety and solve drinking water safety problems in areas with high fluorine water, high arsenic water, brackish water, schistosomiasis and other areas. Relevant departments must promptly formulate plans. Adjust the investment structure of highway construction, increase the intensity of rural highway construction, take overall consideration of technical standards, quality management and maintenance of rural highway construction, and reasonably determine rural highway investment subsidy standards. Accelerate the pace of rural energy construction, continue to promote rural biogas construction, and actively develop new clean energy and renewable energy such as solar energy and wind energy.

(14) Accelerate the construction of agricultural product circulation and inspection and testing facilities. While continuing to build bazaars and wholesale markets, we should focus on giving full play to the guiding role of the futures market and encourage the development of new business formats and circulation methods such as modern logistics, chain operations, and e-commerce.

Transform the existing wholesale market for agricultural products, develop brokers, agricultural product auctions, online transactions and other methods to enhance trading functions. Accelerate the construction of a cold chain system for agricultural products focusing on refrigeration and low-temperature storage and transportation, and treat the land used for the construction of agricultural product storage facilities as industrial land. Attention should be paid to the role of supply and marketing cooperatives in the circulation of agricultural products and the supply of production materials. Encourage the postal system to develop chain distribution services that directly serve farmers' production and life. Strengthen agricultural informatization construction. Meteorological work should strengthen services to agriculture. All provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government should speed up the opening of green channels for the transportation of fresh agricultural products by vehicle, promptly implement relevant regulations on reducing or exempting vehicle tolls, and realize inter-provincial interconnection as soon as possible. Actively promote agricultural standardization. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of agricultural product inspection and testing infrastructure, improve the level of entry and exit inspection and quarantine equipment and testing technology, and enhance the ability to prevent and deal with the invasion of foreign harmful organisms.

Improve the international competitiveness of agricultural products, promote the export of superior agricultural products, and expand agricultural opening to the outside world.

(18) Accelerate the development of animal husbandry. To enhance the comprehensive agricultural production capacity, we must cultivate a developed animal husbandry industry. Pastoral areas should speed up the implementation of production methods such as fenced grazing and rotational grazing and rest grazing, improve the construction of forage land, improve livestock breeds, and further reduce the pressure of overgrazing on pastures. Agricultural areas should give full play to the advantages of abundant crop straw and labor resources, actively develop grain-saving animal husbandry, and improve the level of large-scale and intensive breeding. Through micro-credit, fiscal discounts and other means, we will guide qualified places to develop breeding communities. It is necessary to increase investment to support the construction of harmless treatment facilities for livestock and poultry manure and sewage in breeding communities. Since 2005, subsidies for dairy cow breeding projects have been implemented. Accelerate the establishment of a safe, high-quality and efficient feed production system. Doing a good job in animal epidemic prevention is the fundamental guarantee for ensuring the stable development of the animal husbandry industry. It is related to the health of the people and the security of social public security. We must be determined to increase investment, strengthen construction, improve systems, and improve the system. It is necessary to promptly formulate a plan for the construction of an animal epidemic prevention system, and accelerate the construction of major animal disease monitoring and early warning, animal disease prevention and control, animal epidemic prevention and quarantine supervision, veterinary drug quality supervision and residue monitoring, animal epidemic prevention technical support, animal epidemic prevention material security and other systems. Accelerate the technological transformation of key veterinary biological products manufacturing enterprises. A sound animal disease prevention and control team should be established as soon as possible, and the personnel and working expenses of animal quarantine supervision agencies should be fully included in the fiscal budgets at all levels.

(19) Focus on supporting the development of agricultural product processing industries in major grain-producing areas. Vigorously support the food processing industry, especially the processing industry that uses grain as the main raw material in major grain-producing areas. Main grain-producing areas should base on their local advantages, take the development of agricultural product processing industry as a breakthrough, take a new industrialization path, and promote agricultural efficiency, farmers' income and regional economic development. We will adopt fiscal interest discounts and other means to support agricultural product processing enterprises in major grain-producing areas to introduce technology, transform technology, and build storage facilities. Improve the value-added tax policy for the agricultural product processing industry as soon as possible. In accordance with the unified deployment of value-added tax transformation and reform, accelerate the pace of value-added tax transformation in the processing industry of food and other agricultural products.

(20) Develop agricultural industrialization management. Continue to increase support for leading agricultural industrialization enterprises with diverse ownership and operating forms. Encourage leading enterprises to promote the development of bases and farmers through multiple ways of connecting interests.

The Agricultural Bank of China and other state-owned commercial banks must, in accordance with relevant regulations, speed up the improvement of credit services to leading enterprises and effectively solve the problem of tight acquisition funds of leading enterprises. The Agricultural Development Bank can provide loans to qualified leading enterprises whose main business is the production, circulation or processing and transformation of grain, cotton and oil. Actively explore effective ways for leading enterprises and professional cooperative organizations to undertake loan repayments and provide loan guarantees for farmers. Support the development of farmers' professional cooperative organizations, and appropriately reduce or exempt relevant taxes and fees for professional cooperative organizations and their processing and distribution entities. Collective economic organizations should enhance their strength, provide good services, and work with other professional cooperative organizations to play the role of bridge and link between leading enterprises and farmers. Township enterprises should speed up structural adjustment, technological progress and institutional innovation, and actively participate in agricultural industrialization operations.

7. Reform and improve the rural investment and financing system, and improve the agricultural investment mechanism

(21) Improve the agricultural investment management system. Further relax the investment areas in agriculture and rural infrastructure, adopt interest discounts, subsidies, taxation and other measures, give play to the guiding role of national agricultural capital investment, and encourage social capital to actively invest in the development of agriculture and the construction of rural infrastructure. Gradually reduce the proportion of capital matching for agricultural-related fixed asset investment in the central and western regions, and must not use methods to increase the burden on farmers to provide capital matching. Continue to increase the integration of national agricultural capital investment, encourage counties as a unit to integrate investment through planning guidance, overall arrangements, clear responsibilities, project-driven and other methods to improve the efficiency of fund use. For rural construction projects invested and subsidized by the state, it is necessary to speed up the implementation of the publicity system, and ensure the good management and use of funds and the quality of projects through bidding, fund tracking and supervision, and post-project evaluation.

(22) Accelerate the reform of the property rights system of small rural infrastructure. On the basis of summarizing experience, we must intensify reform efforts, clarify property rights, clarify responsibilities, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties to invest in, build and manage small rural infrastructure. The property rights of small and micro projects that are self-built or mainly used by farmers are owned by individuals, and the property rights certificates are issued by the township people's governments. For projects with a large number of beneficiary households, a cooperative management organization can be formed, and the assets formed by state subsidies will be owned by the cooperative organization. For commercial projects, legal entities can be established to implement corporate operations, or they can be auctioned to individuals for operation. For rural infrastructure developed and constructed by owners, local people's governments must provide support and regulate their charging standards and service behaviors. Accelerate the pace of reform of the management system of small rural water conservancy projects. To promote the reform of the property rights system of small rural infrastructure, we must fully respect the wishes of farmers and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of original beneficiaries of the projects.

(23) Promote rural financial reform and innovation. In response to the characteristics of rural financial needs, we must accelerate the construction of a rural financial system with complete functions, reasonable division of labor, clear property rights, and strong supervision. We will promptly study and formulate an overall reform plan for rural finance. To continue to deepen the reform of rural credit cooperatives, we must achieve results in improving governance structures, strengthening restraint mechanisms, and enhancing agricultural service capabilities, so as to further play their role as the main force in rural finance. It is urgent to formulate policies and measures for each financial institution within the county to assume the obligation to support "agriculture, rural areas and farmers", and clarify the proportion of new deposits of financial institutions in institutions and outlets at and below the county level to support the development of local agriculture and rural economy. Effective measures will be taken to guide postal savings funds absorbed by counties and below to return to rural areas. We will increase policy-based financial support for agriculture, increase medium- and long-term loans to support agriculture and rural development, strengthen the role of the Agricultural Development Bank in supporting agriculture and broaden its business scope on the basis of improving its operating mechanism. The Agricultural Bank of China must continue to play its role in supporting agriculture and serving rural areas. To cultivate a competitive rural financial market, relevant departments must promptly formulate access conditions and regulatory measures for new rural financial institutions with multiple ownership structures, and launch pilot work as soon as possible on the premise of effectively preventing financial risks. Where conditions permit, we can explore the establishment of microfinance organizations that are closer to the needs of farmers and rural areas and initiated by natural persons or enterprises. Accelerate the implementation of relevant regulations on the implementation of multiple forms of mortgage guarantees for farmers and rural small and medium-sized enterprises. Expand the pilot scope of agricultural policy insurance and encourage commercial insurance institutions to carry out agricultural insurance business.

8. Improve the quality of rural workers and promote the all-round development of farmers and rural society

(24) Comprehensively carry out vocational skills training for farmers. It is necessary to carry out agricultural science and technology training that is highly targeted, pragmatic, effective, and easy to understand in conjunction with the needs of agricultural structural adjustment, development of characteristic agriculture, and actual production. Rural middle schools should also strengthen education in advanced and practical agricultural technologies. To adapt to the needs of upgrading the industrial structure and improving competitiveness, we will further improve the training of farmers for job transfer, expand the implementation scale of the "Rural Labor Transfer Training Sunshine Project", and accelerate the transfer of rural labor. All levels of finance must significantly increase investment in farmers' vocational skills training, and adopt methods such as subsidies, training vouchers, and reimbursement systems to strive to improve the practicality of training and the efficiency of fund use. Extensively mobilize the enthusiasm of all sectors of society to participate in farmers' vocational skills training.

(25) Further develop rural education, health, culture and other social undertakings. It is necessary to implement the regulations that new funds for education, health, culture, family planning and other undertakings should be mainly used in rural areas, and the proportion used at the county level and below should not be less than 70%. By 2007, students from poor families in rural compulsory education across the country will be able to enjoy free textbook fees, free miscellaneous fees, and subsidized living expenses for boarding students. Key counties in the national poverty alleviation and development work must speed up implementation.

Adhere to the health work policy of focusing on rural areas, actively and steadily promote the new rural cooperative medical pilot and rural medical assistance, implement the rural medical and health infrastructure construction plan, accelerate the training of rural medical and health talents, improve the level of rural medical services and respond to emergencies. ***Health event capabilities. Strengthen the prevention and control of key diseases such as AIDS and schistosomiasis, and promote comprehensive management of rural environmental sanitation such as improving water supply and toilets. We will do a good job in rural family planning, implement a reward and support system for some rural family planning families, and do a good job in the pilot project of "fewer children, faster wealth, poverty alleviation project". Where conditions permit, we can explore the establishment of a rural social security system. Increase the implementation of major rural cultural construction projects, improve the rural public cultural service system, and encourage social forces to participate in rural cultural construction. Consolidate rural publicity and cultural positions and strengthen rural cultural market management. Efforts should be made to improve the level of rural radio and television access to every village, and do a good job in sending books to the countryside, showing movies, and sharing cultural information resources.

9. Strengthen and improve the party’s leadership over rural work

(26) Insist on solving the “three rural” issues as the top priority of the whole party’s work. This is an important policy that must be adhered to in the long term in the historical process of promoting industrialization, urbanization and modernization. All comrades in the party, especially leading cadres at all levels, must have a deep understanding of the long-term, complex and arduous nature of the work on "agriculture, rural areas and farmers". Under the current good situation of increasing grain production and increasing farmers' income, we must always maintain a clear understanding and not relax at all in agriculture and rural work. It is necessary to adapt to changes in my country's industrialization development stage and policy trends, and in accordance with the requirements that industry feeds back agriculture and cities support rural areas, we must effectively integrate the development of agriculture and rural economy into the overall arrangement of the national economy, adjust the national income distribution structure more consciously, and be more proactive We will further strengthen the basic position of agriculture, further intensify rural reform, increase support for agriculture, and increase leadership in the work of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers”.

(27) Further strengthen rural party building work. It is necessary to conscientiously implement the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Party, in accordance with the requirements for carrying out educational activities to maintain the advanced nature of Communist Party members, in-depth carry out the "three-level joint creation" activities of rural party building, and enhance the creativity of rural grassroots party organizations , cohesion and combat effectiveness, give full play to the core leadership role of rural grassroots party organizations, and further consolidate the party's ruling foundation in rural areas. Increase the education and training of rural party members and cadres, expand the pilot distance education for rural party members and cadres, enhance their awareness of serving the people, integrity and self-discipline, change their style, improve their ability to implement policies, act in accordance with the law, develop the economy, and maintain stability, and establish grassroots cadres good image. We should care for rural grassroots cadres and help them solve their work and life difficulties.
