Agriculture is the foundation and the outline of the country. Recently, the revised draft of the Agricultural Law was submitted for the first review at the 22nd meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress. What are the highlights of this major agricultural law overhaul? Let's learn about it together. Highlight 1: Clarify the national food security strategy and build a diversified food supply system. The revised draft specifies that the country will implement a national food security strategy that prioritizes self-sufficiency, relies on domestic resources, ensures production capacity, moderately imports, and is supported by technology. We will adhere to storing grain in the land and technology, ensuring basic self-sufficiency in grains and absolute food security. We will make arrangements in terms of protecting agricultural resources, mobilizing enthusiasm for grain cultivation, and risk prevention and control. Highlight 2: Developing new quality productive forces in agriculture, promoting deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation. The revised draft proposes a series of specific measures to develop agricultural science and technology, and changes the title of Chapter 7 to "Agricultural Science and Technology, Education and Talent", clarifying the strengthening of agricultural disciplines and professional construction, supporting the cultivation of urgently needed and scarce professional talents in agriculture, as well as the national organization of agricultural practical technology skills training and other employment training, and cultivating local talents in rural areas. Highlight 3: Promoting Green Agricultural Development and Promoting Green Transformation of Production Methods. An important structural change in this revision of the Agricultural Law is the addition of a special chapter on "Green Agricultural Development". This adjustment indicates that green development has become an inherent requirement for the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. Highlight 4: Promoting rural economic development and promoting balanced allocation of public resources. In the chapter on rural economic development, the revised draft clearly states that the country adheres to the integration of urban and rural development, improves the integration level of urban and rural planning, construction, and governance, promotes equal exchange and two-way flow of urban and rural factors, promotes balanced allocation of public resources, and promotes common prosperity and development between urban and rural areas.
