The total area of arid and semi-arid areas in the world accounts for 1 / 3 of the land area, covering more than 50 countries and regions on all continents. It is the area with the greatest potential for agricultural development in the world and is of great significance to solving global food security and Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) supply. China's arid and semi-arid areas account for 65% of the land area and 56% of the cultivated land area. They play an important role in the agricultural development of arid areas in the world. Wupute suggested that the central government should rely on Yangling Demonstration Area in Shaanxi to deploy and build the "world agricultural talent center and innovation highland in arid areas" as a strategic measure to promote the implementation of the "China plan" for building a community with a shared future for mankind.
Yangling Demonstration Zone has the historical background, scientific and educational strength and institutional advantages of building a "world agricultural talent center and innovation highland in arid areas". 4000 years ago, Houji taught the people to harvest and cultivate crops in Yangling, Shaanxi Province, creating a precedent of Chinese agricultural civilization; The theory and technology of dryland agriculture in the spring and Autumn period and the pre war period of China laid the foundation for many years; During the Qin and Han Dynasties, a perfect northern dryland agricultural technology system was formed, which made China's dryland agriculture in a leading position in the world and made great contributions to human development. In the early 1930s, out of concern for the survival of the nation and people's livelihood, Yu Youren and other people of insight proposed to establish the national northwest agricultural and Forestry College in Yangling, which has become an important birthplace of higher agricultural and forestry education in Northwest China. Subsequently, Yangling has successively built 10 agricultural science and education units. A large number of agronomic masters such as Yu Hongzheng, Zhu Xianmo, Zhao Hongzhang, Li Zhenqi, Li Zhensheng and shanlun are engaged in learning and agriculture here. Yangling has become an agricultural science city with the most complete categories of agricultural disciplines and the largest density of agricultural scientific and technological talents in China. By the 1980s, the dryland agricultural research of Yangling Agricultural Science City was well-known at home and abroad, and the first international academic seminar on dryland agriculture was held here. At the turn of the century, based on the strategic needs of agricultural development in arid areas, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council established the national Yangling Agricultural High-tech Industry Demonstration Zone and merged and established the Northwest University of agriculture and forestry science and technology, both of which adopted the management system of provincial and ministerial Co Construction.
In the new era, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have attached great importance to and repeatedly studied the construction and development of Yangling, and clearly proposed to build Yangling Demonstration Area into a core area for agricultural science and technology innovation and promotion in arid and semi-arid areas, a demonstration area for Rural Revitalization and characteristic modern agricultural development in the new era, and a modern agricultural innovation highland with international influence Talent highland and industrial highland (hereinafter referred to as "three districts and three highlands"); Build the Northwest University of agriculture and forestry science and technology into a world-class Agricultural University. In 2016, the State Council established the Yangling area of China (Shaanxi) pilot Free Trade Zone, which is the only free trade zone in China with agricultural development as the main feature; In the same year, Northwest University of agriculture and forestry science and technology led the establishment of the Silk Road Agricultural Education, science and technology innovation alliance. At present, 95 agricultural related universities and scientific research institutes from 18 countries have joined, and relying on the alliance, 8 agricultural science and technology demonstration parks and 4 National Research centers have been built in Central Asia. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization agricultural technology exchange and training demonstration base has also settled in Yangling. At present, 10 key construction projects such as the Institute of modern agricultural development, the International Joint Laboratory of modern agriculture and the direction of modern agriculture of SCO university are accelerating. At the same time, the widely influential Yang Lingnong summit has become a broad platform for in-depth cooperation and exchange in the agricultural field between China and other countries in the world. The foreign aid training of dryland agriculture technology radiates to Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Based on the important strategic position of agriculture in arid areas in the world and China's economic and social development, Wu pute, deputy to the National People's Congress and President of Northwest University of agriculture and forestry science and technology, suggested:
First, it is suggested that in the national strategic planning and layout of talents and science and technology, Yangling Demonstration Zone should be given priority as an important part of the wild goose array pattern of "world important talent center and innovation highland", accelerate the planning of "world agricultural talent center and innovation highland in arid areas", and make overall deployment with the construction of "Shanghai Cooperation Organization agricultural technology exchange and training demonstration base" Coordinated promotion.
Second, it is suggested that in the construction of the national scientific and technological innovation system, Further support the "State Key Laboratory of soil erosion and dryland agriculture on the Loess Plateau", "State Key Laboratory of crop stress biology in arid areas", "National Engineering Laboratory for efficient water use of crops in arid areas", "national Yangling Agricultural Biotechnology Breeding Center", "national Yangling Agricultural Comprehensive Experimental Engineering Technology Research Center" and "national water-saving Irrigation Yangling engineering technology research center" And other national scientific research bases, accelerate the construction of "National Key Laboratory of livestock biology" and "national major scientific and technological infrastructure of arid habitat simulation system", actively cultivate "National Laboratory of arid agriculture", further improve the agricultural scientific and technological innovation system in arid areas, and strive to build a national strategic scientific and technological force of arid agriculture with important international influence.
Third, it is suggested to establish a national major agricultural science and technology project and talent support plan in arid areas by relying on Yangling, closely focusing on the establishment of the "world agricultural talent center and innovation highland in arid areas". First, the Ministry of science and technology set up the "key science and technology project for agricultural development in Yangling arid area", which is open to the whole country, gathers talents with the project as the link, and promotes China to make major breakthroughs in key agricultural technology fields in arid areas. Second, the Ministry of science and technology, the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Ministry of agriculture and rural areas set up the "intergovernmental international science and technology cooperation project on agriculture in arid areas" in Yangling to strengthen cooperation with governments around the world and enhance the influence and contribution of Yangling and even China in the field of agricultural science and technology innovation in arid areas of the world. Third, the talent support plan of relevant national ministries and commissions added Yangling special project to attract talents at home and abroad to apply without reducing the evaluation conditions, so as to form a talent agglomeration effect.
Fourth, it is suggested that the state should formulate special support policies for Yangling in terms of finance, finance, taxation and resource support, promote the creation of a more open and dynamic innovation and entrepreneurship environment, attract international academic organizations related to agriculture in arid areas, well-known scientific research institutions at home and abroad, gaoshuiping University and agricultural related science and technology enterprises to settle in Yangling or establish branches, and enhance world talents Intellectual achievements and innovative elements are widely gathered in Yangling.
