Problems and Measures Facing Agricultural Extension in China

1. Poor level of industrialization

China is in the transition stage from traditional to modern agriculture, the process of industrialization is slow, and it still hasn't jumped out of the small-scale, low-level, traditional and rough production mode, with a low level of agricultural mechanized operation and low production efficiency. Fragmentation of land small-scale operation and part-time farming methods, resulting in low specialization and standardization, low yield of agricultural products, the quality of substandard, unable to meet the needs of large-scale agricultural products processing industry on a piece of planning planting and breeding base, many processing enterprises to buy agricultural products from a large number of scattered planting of small farmers, greatly increasing the acquisition cost.

2. Poor quality of agricultural products

China is in the accelerated stage of industrialization and urbanization, which is the consumption of energy and resources, pollution emissions intensity of the larger period, the distorted market mechanism to pull the deformed growth of industry. Industrial and urban water use has increased dramatically, and the contradiction with agricultural water use is increasingly difficult to reconcile, due to the lack of strict protection and governance measures, water quality pollution leads to a further decline in the quality of water resources. Under the influence of these factors***, the supply of available water resources in China has become even more scarce. Industrial pollution has led to a lot of agricultural raw materials of low quality, not up to the processing industry on the quality of agricultural products required, and some agricultural producers driven by profit, the abuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, resulting in agricultural product safety issues, exports of processed products and domestic market sales affected, which in turn affects the process of development of modern agriculture.

3. Lack of high-quality labor force

China's main agricultural labor force for the lower cultural and educational level, older women and the elderly. At the same time, the low price of agricultural products, high investment, long cycle but low economic efficiency, the growing gap between urban and rural areas, and thus most of the young laborers with secondary and higher education choose to go out to work. Due to the lack of cultural knowledge of these main force, hindering the ability to accept new things, learn new technologies, unable to learn scientific and technological knowledge, making it difficult to promote and use new technologies, new machines and other high-tech research results, thus restricting the development of modern agriculture.

China is a large agricultural country, the land is vast and populous, since the reform and opening up, China's agricultural development has been rapid, the level of mechanization of agriculture has been increasing. But with the acceleration of industrialization, China's agricultural development is also facing many problems, the reduction of arable land area, high-tech agricultural achievements can not be effectively promoted and other restrictions on the development of agriculture. Based on this, we analyze the existing problems in the current mode of agricultural extension in China, and put forward strategies to strengthen and improve the mode of agricultural extension, aiming at increasing the income of farmers and improving the level of agricultural development in China.
