CCTV NewsIn the golden autumn season, the rice waves are rolling, and the autumn grain is about to enter the harvest period. The rice fields in Yuejin Village, Tangzhang Town, Tongshan District, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province are growing well. Looking down from the observation deck, using advanced 3D and perspective technology, different varieties of rice with different colored leaves are planted to draw exquisite rice field paintings with slogans such as "Welcome the 20th National Congress and Always Follow the Party", which are vividly displayed on the fields of hope, and in the fragrance of rice flowers, they tell the joy of the Jiangsu people in welcoming the successful convening of the 20th National Congress and the beautiful vision of a good harvest.

Jiangsu is located in the Yangtze River Delta region, with superior natural conditions and a long history of agricultural civilization. The annual grain output is stable at more than 70 billion jin. It is China's main agricultural production area and grain producing province, and is known as the "land of fish and rice". In December 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during his research in Jiangsu Province that "without agricultural modernization, rural prosperity, and farmers living and working in peace and contentment, national modernization is incomplete, incomplete, and unstable. Developed regions must take the lead in this regard and truly implement the synchronous development of industrialization, informatization, urbanization, and agricultural modernization." This is full of the General Secretary's ardent expectations for Jiangsu's development.

Technology empowers and increases vitality, and Jiangsu's agricultural and rural modernization has entered the "fast lane".

There are two "intelligence stations" beside the rice fields of the Sanwudou Cooperative in Wuqiao Town, Jiangdu District, Yangzhou City. Kong Deli, a technician at the cooperative, said that although the two devices are "unremarkable", they can prevent "harm" before it happens and ensure a bumper rice harvest. "The black device is a soil moisture monitoring station, and the white device is an insect monitoring station. You can remotely view the monitoring situation through your mobile phone or computer and take measures as soon as possible." Kong Deli introduced that this year, the use of chemical agents in the 3,000 mu of rice of the Sanwudou Cooperative has been reduced by 1/3 compared with previous years, and the "intelligence station" has made an indelible contribution.

In the field of fishery industry, technological innovations such as 5G, Internet of Things, and big data have injected new impetus into the development of fishery. In the all-electric digital fishery in Zhiqian Town, Jintan District, Changzhou City, the integrated fishery, photovoltaic and storage project combines fishery and photovoltaic power generation, which can not only control the amount of light on the water surface to provide shade for crabs raised in the fish pond, but also regulate the water temperature. Photovoltaic energy storage also provides an emergency "power bank" for the fishery, which can supply power independently during power outages, ensuring the safety of breeding. In addition, the fishery is equipped with automatic navigation intelligent feeding boats, microporous aerators, automatic grass-combing boats and other equipment. The staff can operate the feeding boat to achieve automatic cruising, automatic feeding and other operations by tapping the screen of the mobile phone. They can also set its feeding density, feeding time and feeding rate. The feeding efficiency in one hour is equivalent to the speed level of 8 workers feeding manually.

Such "smart" agricultural operation scenes can be seen everywhere in the fields of Jiangsu. Under the "empowerment" of science and technology, Jiangsu's facility agriculture, fruit, vegetable and tea, animal husbandry, aquaculture and mechanization of primary processing of agricultural products have made significant progress, agricultural labor productivity has continued to increase, and the endogenous momentum of agricultural production and rural economy has been continuously activated. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Jiangsu has vigorously developed the full mechanization of grain production. In 2020, it will be the first in China to achieve full mechanization of grain production in the province. According to data released by the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, by the end of 2021, the contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress in the province will reach 70.9%, which is nearly 10 percentage points higher than the average level in China.

The province's agricultural mechanization industry has continued to develop rapidly and healthily, and has also provided solid technical equipment support for the realization of "rural beauty".

Focusing on the construction of beautiful and livable villages, Jiangsu adheres to the principle of giving equal importance to development and protection, based on regional characteristics, protecting natural textures, improving infrastructure and public service facilities, optimizing rural landscapes, fields, villages and other spatial elements, and showing the contemporary style of the "new land of fish and rice".

At present, the Jiangsu main event of the 2022 "China Farmers' Harvest Festival" is being held in Qixiang Village, Taixing City. This year's Farmers' Harvest Festival is themed "Celebrating the Harvest and Welcoming the Grand Event" and is an important event for the "Three Rural Issues" to welcome the 20th National Congress of the Party. At the opening ceremony filled with a strong atmosphere of celebrating the harvest and sharing joy, Ma Xin, Vice Governor of the People's Government of Jiangsu Province, said that over the past ten years, the environment of 189,000 natural villages in Jiangsu has been improved, the coverage rate of rural harmless sanitary household toilets has reached more than 90%, and a total of 540 characteristic rural villages have been built.

The construction of characteristic rural villages is like a catalyst, stimulating the spring water of Jiangsu's rural revitalization. In 2021, Zaogang Village, Fugang Village, Binhai New District, Hai'an City, Nantong City, was successfully selected as a demonstration village for rural revitalization in Nantong City and a characteristic rural village in Nantong City. This year, it was named "Characteristic Rural Village in Jiangsu Province". The "Haian Flower Drum", which is well-known in China, originated here. By transforming the Gangfeng Grand Stage, setting up propaganda corridors, theme logos, landscape corridors and other components to create a cultural activity space to inherit the "Haian Flower Drum", it has stimulated the villagers' cultural identity.

So far, Nantong City has built 19 provincial-level characteristic rural villages, and a successful road to show the beautiful Nantong with river wind and sea charm has gradually been built. In 2021, Jiangsu will also connect provincial-level characteristic rural villages, traditional villages and surrounding tourism resources into 22 and 26 "Jiangsu Province Beautiful Rural Village Tour Routes" during the "May Day" and "National Day" periods, adding new impetus to the development of sightseeing agriculture and rural tourism in the province.

"Exploring the way for China's development is the consistent requirement of the central government for Jiangsu." Jiangsu's "new farmers" also shoulder the glorious mission of exploring the way for the construction of modern rural industries.

In recent years, Jiangsu has attached great importance to the construction of local talent teams. Putting the training, incentives and use of "local experts" and "field scholars" in a prominent position; broadening employment channels and releasing entrepreneurial vitality, a series of policy measures to accelerate the training of local talents and support farmers' employment and entrepreneurship have converged into a policy force to promote the revitalization of rural talents.

The Central Document No. 1 in 2022 emphasized "focusing on industry to promote rural development". By the end of 2021, Jiangsu had cultivated more than 180 county-level advantageous and characteristic industries with a value of more than 1 billion yuan, established 12 national modern agricultural industrial parks and 4 agricultural modernization demonstration zones; the province's rural leisure and tourism agricultural annual comprehensive income exceeded 90 billion yuan, and the annual sales of agricultural products on the Internet exceeded 100 billion yuan; the total import and export of agricultural products reached 24.54 billion US dollars, a record high, an increase of 24.9% year-on-year.

Succulent Industrial Park, Grape Industrial Park, Tianwa Smart Agriculture Park...Sucheng District, Suqian City is turning rural revitalization into an increasingly beautiful reality. Walking into the core area of the ecological agricultural demonstration park covering more than 3,000 acres in Gengche Town, Sucheng District, the dazzling array of succulent varieties is dazzling. Villagers "transformed" into anchors, holding their mobile phones to recommend to fans in the "succulent sea". "The waste plastic processing industry used to be our pillar industry. Due to the high pollution and low profit of waste plastic processing, we began to explore the path of industrial transformation in 2015." Wang Peng, secretary of the Party branch of Hongwei Village, Gengche Town, introduced, "At that time, the succulent potted plant market was hot, and some people in the village went out to study. Later, with the support of the government, a large market with an annual sales volume of 1.2 billion yuan was formed." Succulent potted plants not only drive employment, but also the village collective economy has made great progress. Now there are nearly a thousand people working in Hongwei Village. From the previous economically weak village to the current annual income of nearly one million yuan, it can be said to have taken a big step.

On September 16, Nanjing Agricultural Carnival entered its 18th year in the green rice fields of Hushu Modern Agricultural Park in Jiangning District. Since 2014, the Carnival has moved from the city to the countryside. It has been awarded the "International Urban Agriculture Creativity and Promotion Outstanding City Award" by the International Urban Agriculture Foundation and the "China Leisure Agriculture Creativity Award" by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. It has attracted about 7.5 million tourists and achieved a comprehensive income of about 1.4 billion yuan. According to the organizer of the carnival, this event combines the 2022 "Suyun Rural Feelings" Rural Leisure Tourism Agriculture (Nanjing) Special Promotion and the Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival, and uses the platform of the province to comprehensively enhance the brand influence of Nanjing Agricultural Carnival. "We take care of farmers on one side and citizens on the other. We want everyone to participate in this golden autumn carnival feast in the fragrance of rice flowers." 

Nowadays, industries such as agricultural product processing, rural leisure tourism, and rural e-commerce are blooming in the fields of hope in Jiangsu. The "land of fish and rice in the new era" with strong agriculture, beautiful countryside, and rich farmers is about to emerge. The "freehand brushwork" of the grand blueprint drawn by General Secretary Xi Jinping for Jiangsu is being drawn into a "fine brushwork" of intensive farming, magnificent and beautiful.
