The importance of agriculture

"Food is the most important thing for people", and food is the most basic means of survival for human beings. The basic position of agriculture in the national economy is highlighted in grain production. The population is 654.380+0.3 billion, and the grain, meat, vegetables, fruits and textile fibers are 203.3 thousand tons, all of which come from domestic agriculture except for a few years when varieties are imported.

If agriculture cannot provide food and necessary food, people's lives will not be stable, production will not develop, and the country will lose the foundation of self-reliance. Light industry also uses agricultural products as raw materials. At the same time, rural and agricultural production sectors are important markets for industrial products in China.

The production structure of agriculture in China includes planting, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery and sideline; But for thousands of years, it has been mainly planted. Due to the large population and relatively small cultivated land area, grain production is particularly dominant.

The role of agriculture

1. Traditionally, the function of agriculture is mainly reflected in the supply of grain and industrial raw materials.

2. Serving urban agriculture requires big cities to grasp both the "vegetable basket" and the "rice bag", especially the big cities located in the main grain producing areas, to ensure the stable development of grain production.

In order to give full play to the ecological conservation function of agriculture, it can be said that without agriculture, it is impossible to protect and improve the ecological environment. We didn't know enough about it in the past. In the future, we should pay more attention to the ecological functions of paddy fields as wetlands, wheat fields as green spaces and orchards as gardens.

4. Vigorously develop brand agriculture, promote standardized, specialized and large-scale production with brands, and improve the quality, reputation and efficiency of agricultural products.

5. Let agriculture plug in the wings of science and technology, vigorously develop science and technology agriculture, and at the same time adapt to the rapid development of modern information technology and vigorously develop smart agriculture.

6. Pay attention to the inheritance of farming civilization, which is an important part of Chinese civilization. In the process of promoting industrialization and urbanization, we must protect farming civilization. Only in this way can city residents remember their homesickness.
