Future agriculture does not only belong to farmers (traditional farmers) and rural areas. Agriculture involves multiple disciplines and is an industry that truly requires high-tech investment. In the future, agriculture is bound to develop in this direction, with more talents, high-tech, and capital joining the development of agriculture. Agriculture has become a hot, promising, and potential industry.
The way out for agriculture lies in modernization, and the key to agricultural modernization lies in technological progress. We must pay more attention to and rely on the progress of agricultural technology than ever before, and follow the path of connotative development From this, it can be seen that it is imperative to comprehensively transform traditional agriculture into modern agriculture supported by technology.
At present, the contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress in China has reached 60.7%. The application of high-tech has continuously improved agricultural production efficiency, and high-tech technologies such as automation, drones, and the Internet of Things have accelerated their entry into the fields, injecting new momentum into agricultural development. But we also need to see that there is still a certain gap in the contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress in China compared to developed countries. For example, the contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress in the Netherlands is as high as 97%, while Germany and the United States both exceed 90%. Developed countries have a much higher level of mechanization, informatization, and intelligence in the entire process of agricultural operations compared to China. Technological support plays a significant role in replacing inefficient labor and improving production efficiency.
The future development of agriculture has traces to follow, and in terms of technological progress, it is necessary to make up for the shortcomings with developed countries as soon as possible. We should actively explore a future path suitable for China's agricultural development in terms of policies and models. Where is the direction? In my opinion, the prototype has emerged, achieving large-scale planting through land transfer and high standard farmland construction. Village cadres should be included in the establishment, and party affairs, village affairs, and economy should be taken into account, relying on party organizations to overcome the difficulties in rural work. Relying on agricultural cooperatives to promote high-tech, new measures, and new equipment, integrating and developing characteristic agricultural products, creating geographical indication agricultural products, and brand agriculture. In short, the future development of agriculture will focus on scale, mechanization, technology, branding, informatization, and intelligence.
Innovative cross-border cooperation and the integration and development of other industries will have a brighter future. Introduce capital and new operating models to achieve the operation of the entire industry chain. Integrating agricultural product cultivation, food technology research and development, deep processing, logistics, and sales. Create a complete modern agricultural industry chain with distinct characteristics.
At present, there are many small farmers engaged in agricultural planting, which are relatively scattered and have insufficient ability to cope with risks. Moreover, the level of agricultural mechanization and technology is relatively low. Not conducive to the overall improvement of agricultural product quality and the promotion and application of new agricultural technologies. Taking the urgent need for improvement in soil degradation as an example, According to Li Rong, Deputy Director of the Cultivated Land Quality Monitoring and Protection Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in the first phase of "Focus Interview", "Grain Silos Need Fertile Soil Cultivation": In the 1980s, the basic soil fertility of paddy fields and drylands was around 80%, while that of drylands could also reach 60%. Now, paddy fields have decreased to 60%, while drylands are basically at 40%. In some places, the decline has been even more severe. Nowadays, there is a lot of yield per mu, most of which is supported by a large amount of chemical fertilizers. Once the chemical fertilizers are not used, it is very likely that the soil fertility will not be produced

Fertilizer itself is not a problem. In fact, it contributes over 50% to grain production. However, if used too much or unreasonably, it can lead to farmland degradation and soil fertility decline in the long run. At present, the quality problems of arable land in China are mainly reflected in the "three areas", namely the acidification of arable land in the south, the salinization of arable land in the north, and the degradation of black land in the northeast. The area covered by these "three areas" has reached over 660 million acres, which is also a key area for arable land management.
That's right, the urgently needed farmland accounts for nearly one-third of the total arable land. I have no idea at all, probably the ordinary people who farm are also unaware of this, right? I think in this situation, even with good soil improvement techniques, it will be difficult to promote them. At this point, I understood where the resistance of organic fertilizers replacing fertilizers lies.
However, it is precisely because of this that agricultural development needs to undergo transformation and pay more attention to the protection of agricultural ecosystems. As is well known, soil is the foundation of agricultural development. Faced with such a severe situation of soil degradation, improving soil is urgent!
For this reason, I specifically visited units that combine production, education, research, and promotion to specialize in soil conditioning and remediation engineering technology research. His research achievements have successively won the National Invention Patent and the Second Prize for Science and Technology Progress in Henan Province. Over the years, it has been applied to grains, cotton, oil, sugar, fruits, vegetables and tea in many soil type in China, with remarkable improvement effect.
——The soil loosening and root promoting soil improvement technology has been selected as the main agricultural technology for 2020 and 2021 by the Henan Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs for two consecutive years. In 2021, its core physical and chemical products were promoted nationwide by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs as the "Healthy Tillage Construction Technology", which is the main agricultural technology for improving the quality of the tilth. Contribute to soil improvement and safeguard sustainable agriculture in the future!
Finally, I would like to say that the relevant policies for the development of agriculture have become very clear! With the construction of high standard farmland, the quality of farmland has improved and transformed into high-yield and smart fields. The development direction and path, as well as the existing problems, are already very clear. However, in terms of technology, integration and innovation, and specific implementation, agricultural practitioners need to actively explore and practice according to their own situation, and find a suitable shortcut.
