Our country will make efforts from three aspects to build agriculture into a modern large industry.

This year's No. 1 Central Document proposes to strive to develop agriculture as a modern large industry. Zhu Weidong, Deputy Director of the Central Finance Office and Deputy Director of the Central Agricultural Office, recently stated that efforts will be made from three aspects - promoting the coordinated development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fisheries, ensuring smooth connections between production, processing, and sales, and integrating agriculture with culture and tourism to achieve this goal. Zhu Weidong said that with the development of the times, the multiple functions of agriculture are becoming more prominent, and the boundaries of the industry are constantly expanding. The development of technology agriculture, green agriculture, quality agriculture, and branded agriculture has become a new trend, and the integration of the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries in rural areas is continuously giving rise to new industries and business models. "Building agriculture into a modern large industry does not mean that the larger the production and operation scale, the better. Instead, it emphasizes that the connotation of agriculture should be richer, the industrial system should be more complete, and the added value of products should be higher," he said. In the future, efforts will be made from three aspects: first, promoting the coordinated development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fisheries. It is necessary to implement a large agriculture view and a large food view. While protecting the ecological environment, we must obtain food from forests, grasslands, rivers, lakes, and seas, and obtain energy and protein from plants, animals, and microorganisms, in order to promote the construction of a diversified food supply system. At the same time, there should be vigorous development in facility agriculture, supporting renovation and upgrading, upgrading technological equipment, and improving output diversity and resource utilization. Second, ensuring smooth connections between production, processing, and sales. Agriculture should not only focus on production but also on post-production development. It is important to promote the diversified development, multi-level utilization, and value addition of agricultural products, allowing farmers to share more of the benefits of industrial value addition and improve the quality and efficiency of agriculture. Third, integrating agriculture with culture and tourism. Currently, new industries and business models such as rural tourism and leisure agriculture are booming, and more and more rural areas are not only suitable for living and business but also for sightseeing and tourism. It is necessary to adapt to changes in the consumption demands of urban and rural residents, promote the upgrading of rural tourism, develop "small and beautiful" cultural tourism business models, and promote the prosperous development of the rural economy.
