On the hot days of August, the agricultural field ushered in an important conference - the National Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation Work Conference. This is the first national agricultural science and technology conference held since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It is a general review and general display of the national agricultural science and technology innovation achievements. It is also the general gathering and mobilization of agricultural science and technology innovation forces. Replanning and redeployment of scientific and technological innovation work.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has taken the overall situation and stood tall and long-term, and has made a series of strategic arrangements for realizing self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology and accelerating the progress of agricultural science and technology, so as to guide the development of agricultural science and technology in my country. In the past ten years, my country's agricultural science and technology innovation has achieved remarkable results. The contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress has increased from 54.5% in 2012 to 61.5% in 2021. The overall level of agricultural science and technology has entered the world's first phalanx. The foundation of this extraordinary achievement lies in the scientific decision-making and strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core. It also reflects the tremendous efforts of various regions and relevant departments, and embodies the hard work of the vast number of agricultural scientific researchers and grass-roots agricultural technicians. Hard work, silent dedication.

　　History has proven countless times that innovation has always been an important force in the development of a country and a nation, and it has always been an important force in promoting the progress of human society. The world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. The risks and challenges facing China's agriculture are even greater and stronger. To gain the initiative, advantages, and future in agricultural development, the technological engine must have strong "horsepower".

　　Accelerating agricultural scientific and technological innovation is the fundamental way to achieve stable agricultural production and increase production and ensure national food security. The basic conditions of agricultural production in my country are inherently insufficient, and the demand for grain and important agricultural products is continuously increasing. To ensure national food security, we must and can only rely mainly on accelerating agricultural scientific and technological innovation, and using continuously improving land productivity, resource utilization, and modern facilities and equipment to support the continuous stabilization of agricultural production and the improvement of quality and efficiency.

　　Accelerating agricultural scientific and technological innovation is an inevitable requirement for realizing agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics. my country's per capita arable land is small, and there are various forms of agriculture, and there is no one-size-fits-all development model. Under such circumstances, if we want to realize agricultural modernization, we must and can only rely mainly on accelerating agricultural scientific and technological innovation, using production methods, management methods and industrial systems that are in line with national conditions and agricultural conditions to continuously improve the quality, efficiency and market development of agricultural development. Competition, vigorously promote the accelerated transformation of traditional agriculture to modern agriculture.

　　Accelerating the innovation of agricultural science and technology is an urgent need to realize the self-reliance and self-improvement of agricultural science and technology. At present, some fields of agricultural science and technology in my country are highly dependent on foreign countries, and there are great risks. With the accelerated evolution of the world's major changes unseen in a century, and the increasingly fierce competition between major powers, the risk of agricultural science and technology being controlled by humans is becoming more and more realistic. To change this situation, we must and can only rely on accelerating agricultural scientific and technological innovation. There is no other way, because we cannot buy the core provenance and key technologies.

　　History always inspires people and empowers people to forge ahead at a special time point. The National Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation Work Conference was held at the right time, and there is no waiting time to further accelerate the promotion of agricultural science and technology innovation.

　　We must adhere to the real needs of agricultural development as the bullseye. Only by adhering to the demand orientation and carrying out scientific and technological research on the outstanding problems faced by agricultural production and operation can we truly write papers on the earth and deliver the results to hundreds of millions of farmers.

　　It is necessary to adhere to the premise of the laws of agricultural science and technology. It is necessary to respect the laws and characteristics of agricultural science and technology, effectively strengthen the basic work, make solid progress for a long time, adapt to local conditions, strengthen the integrated application of innovative results, and vigorously develop social services.

　　We must adhere to the path of joint efforts to tackle key problems. It is necessary to gather a strong synergy, speed up scientific and technological research, guide and dispatch resources in all aspects, effectively clarify the key points and achievement requirements of various agricultural scientific research breakthroughs, focus on the target tasks, and produce more breakthrough results.

　　With the strength of the good wind, it is time to set sail. Taking this National Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation Work Conference as the starting point, we believe that a new chapter of high-level self-reliance and self-improvement in agricultural science and technology has opened, and the power of innovation will be more powerful!
