　　A reporter from the Central Radio and Television General Station asked how to understand and understand the connotation, characteristics and basic requirements of an agricultural power.

　　Tang Renjian, director of the Central Rural Work Leading Group Office and Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that the connotation of an agricultural power is very rich, including both the development of productive forces and the transformation of production relations; It includes not only the all-round upgrading of agriculture, but also the all-round progress of rural areas and the all-round development of farmers. On the one hand, we must have the common characteristics of a strong agricultural country. Although foreign modern agricultural powers have different resource endowments and institutional environments, and the performance of agricultural powers is also different, they have some common characteristics. It is necessary to follow the general law of agricultural modernization, find gaps, make up shortcomings, promote advantages, and build an agricultural power with strong supply security, strong scientific and technological equipment, strong management system, strong industrial resilience and strong competitiveness. On the other hand, we should reflect the characteristics of China based on the national conditions. It is the key to cultivate crops and feed them, to stress water and soil in agriculture, and to build an agricultural power according to the national conditions and agricultural conditions and to solve practical problems by relying on our own strength. China’s resource endowment with a large population and a small land, the historical background of farming civilization and the requirements of the times of harmonious coexistence between man and nature determine that we must rely on our own strength to secure our rice bowls, rely on the two-tier management system to develop agriculture, develop ecological low-carbon agriculture, continue farming civilization and solidly promote common prosperity. These words just now reflect the characteristics of China, China’s national conditions and agricultural conditions, and we should strive to embark on a road of agricultural modernization with China characteristics.

　　Building a strong agricultural country is a long-term task and systematic project, so we should pay attention to methods and grasp the timing and efficiency. First, accurately understand the work layout of agriculture, countryside and farmers. Building a strong agricultural country is in the same strain as comprehensively promoting rural revitalization, with the same goal and unified process. At present, we should focus on promoting rural revitalization in an all-round way, do a good job in connecting the policy system with the work system, keep the focus unchanged, change the theme, adjust the channels, and maintain the continuity of work. The second is to strengthen overall planning. Pay close attention to the study and formulation of the plan to speed up the construction of a strong agricultural country, do a good job in overall planning and systematic arrangement, link up with the existing plan, and can’t completely make another set, clarify the road map construction drawing, make solid and powerful progress, link up and innovate, and do such a plan well. The third is to highlight the actual results. Focus on solving the most urgent practical problems in the development of local agriculture and rural areas, which are strongly reflected by farmers, and fall on specific livelihood issues, even some key small things, and make contributions for a long time, so that farmers can feel a real sense of gain, happiness and security in the process of rural revitalization.
