Green Development of Agriculture
Green development of agriculture requires a profound revolution in people's attitude to agriculture. It will make a major contribution to accelerating modernization and sustainable development of agriculture. Eco-environmental protection will be a hallmark of modern agriculture, and green development will be a strategic choice.
Promoting green development of agriculture is key to guaranteeing China's food, resource and ecological security, building a beautiful China with green mountains and clear waters, enhancing the wellbeing of the Chinese people, and sustaining the development of the Chinese nation.
Green development of agriculture must be based on respecting nature. It must take coordinated economic, social and environmental benefits as the goal and modern technologies as the support, and make green awareness the dominant factor in the whole process of agricultural development. With emphasis on resource conservation, environmental protection, ecosystem conservation and product quality, progress in production and environmental protection will be coordinated, and eco-environmental institutions will be established, thus creating the conditions for agricultural development to match the carrying capacity of resources and the environment, with a balance between production, living environment, and the eco-environment.
Green development of agriculture will bring the results: The total area of arable land will not decrease; the quality of farmlands will not worsen; there will be no over-abstraction of underground water and no increase in the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides; and livestock and poultry waste, crop straw, and agricultural plastic sheeting will all be recycled. Agriculture will maintain sustainable growth, farmers will lead a better life, and the countryside will become more beautiful and livable. The people will fully enjoy more green benefits while sharing the fruits of development, and the results of eco-civilization will reach each and everyone.
