Modernization of agriculture crucial task

Prompted by the increasing uncertainties arising from the country's external development environment, the country needs to pay particular attention to protecting its arable land and core seed resources and building high-quality farmland to ensure the nation always holds the initiative to guarantee its food security.

The Central Rural Work Conference held in Beijing on Friday and Saturday has served to form a to-do list for the formation of the top-level design to advance rural vitalization in an all-round way and to accelerate the construction of a strong country in agriculture.

The conference not only highlighted the great significance the Communist Party of China Central Committee attaches to these objectives but also the urgency it tried to convey to authorities at various levels to act as real doers of these daunting tasks.
