Tech advance to boost agriculture

Collaborative innovation, application of scientific achievements emphasized

China has put a strategic focus on developing new quality productive forces in agriculture, signaling a shift toward tailored and technology-driven agricultural growth, experts said.

Since the concept of new quality productive forces gained prominence last year, multiple high-level meetings and documents have further underscored the vision and included it in the core tasks for the coming year.

For agriculture, this entails strengthening collaborative innovation, accelerating the large-scale application of scientific breakthroughs, and tailoring development strategies to local conditions, according to the Central Rural Work Conference held recently in Beijing.
