The Fields and Remote Countryside of "Science and Technology Special Mission" | Needs | Fields
During the survey, the villagers reported that there were "three shortages" in the village, some said there was a shortage of talent, some said there was a shortage of funds, and some said there was a shortage of technology.
In their view, this is a very distant thing.
A few days later, someone really came. The newcomer is Yu Xuping, a senior engineer at the Zhejiang Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In his first month in the village, he had the villagers plant 500 acres of yellow gardenia in the low pit. Two years later, this piece of yellow gardenia brings over 4000 yuan in income to every grower every year. Xiajiang Village, the place where dreams began, is a microcosm of the changes brought by the technology envoy to the vast countryside of Zhejiang.
A few days ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping wrote back to the representative of Zhejiang Science and Technology Commissioner, affectionately affirming the results of Zhejiang's implementation of the science and technology commissioner system, and put forward ardent expectations for the future.
When agriculture is blessed with technology, what miracles have happened? Now, with a focus on the future, how can "Ketu" bring new changes to the fields and distant places?

"Special envoys" refer to people who carry a special mission to achieve a goal, while "technology" means that they bring the power of scientific knowledge and the wings of technological empowerment.
The science and technology commissioner system is an important system that General Secretary Xi Jinping personally advocated, deployed, and promoted during his work in Zhejiang. Under the care and promotion of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the science and technology commissioner system took the lead in Zhejiang to get extensive and in-depth practice in the province's regional system.
Technological achievements have gone out of the laboratory and "planted" on the land of Zhejiang. In April 2003, the first batch of 101 science and technology special envoys in the province embarked on a journey. Over the past 20 years, Zhejiang has sent a total of 24000 science and technology envoys. They bowed to the fields and brought tangible services to the grassroots, bringing tangible changes to the countryside. In my opinion, the most intuitive of these are two "chains":
One is the value chain empowered by technology. Zhejiang, which has seven mountains, one water, and two fields, is considered a "small agricultural province" in terms of size. However, Zhejiang's characteristic industries such as tea, sericulture, edible fungi, and aquaculture hold a large share in the country. At the beginning of the new century, the problem of insufficient scientific and technological strength and lack of scientific and technological services in rural areas of Zhejiang Province has become increasingly prominent. The diverse and scattered agricultural problems urgently require professional talents to solve them with professional technical methods.
How can we get through the "last mile" of solving real problems? The technology commissioner system has become an effective carrier for the combination of technology and agriculture, rural areas, and farmers. The technology envoy walked out of the laboratory and classroom, found new needs and directions for scientific research in the fields, and became a down-to-earth "Professor of Torreya", "Professor of Tea", "Dr. Bamboo" It can be said that this system has enabled "agriculture, rural areas, and farmers" to connect with the "antenna" of technology at zero distance, generating a disruptive force.
A driving chain that helps farmers increase their income. In those years, every technology envoy knew very well that their primary and urgent task was to do everything possible to develop agricultural production and help farmers lift themselves out of poverty and become prosperous. From "high scientific research" to "good application", and then to "industrial implementation", the system of science and technology envoys has opened up a channel for high-quality development of agriculture, becoming an effective path for farmers to rely on technology to continuously increase income and become prosperous.
For example, in Wuyi, Jinhua, led by researcher Cai Weiming from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the "Edible Mushroom Team Technology Commissioner" solved major technical problems in the spontaneous production of mushroom sticks by farmers through enterprise operation. Currently, this technology in the county has benefited more than 90% of mushroom farmers in the county, with a cumulative savings and income increase of over 100 million yuan. The local mushroom farmer's wallet also bulged, "picking mushrooms in leather shoes and selling mushrooms in a car.".
There is a set of data worth noting: over the past 20 years, Zhejiang Provincial Science and Technology Commissioner has implemented a total of 9515 science and technology projects, promoted over 17000 new varieties and technologies, and achieved economic benefits of 9.858 billion yuan.

Over the past 20 years, the practice of numerous technology envoys traveling through mountains and forests, working hard in rural areas, and the development achievements made on the land of Zhijiang all demonstrate that this system contains many ideas and treasures. In this regard, the author has summarized the following points.
One method: Precise positioning to match hardcore capabilities with actual needs.
The system of science and technology envoys essentially relies on the scientific research capabilities of universities and research institutes, and focuses on carrying out agricultural science and technology innovation and promotion work guided by meeting practical production needs in response to the demand side difficulties. In this process, targeting is crucial.
"Science and technology special envoys" are not randomly dispatched, but must follow the laws of market-oriented resource allocation. Wherever talents are needed, they should be dispatched, and whatever kind of talents are needed, they should be selected to solve the problem of talent shortage in rural areas with "accurate dispatch".
In practical work, Zhejiang has always focused on grassroots scientific and technological needs, establishing a selection mechanism of "provincial-level scientific and technological management departments setting up a platform, and dispatching local, dispatching units, and science and technology special envoys performing opera", truly forming a good situation of "three wins" for dispatching local, dispatching units, and special envoys.
A battlefield: The countryside is a hopeful field, and the vast countryside has great potential.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has always attached great importance to rural development. The science and technology commissioner system condenses General Secretary Xi Jinping's profound thinking and strategic considerations on the work of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers.
In the 20 years since the implementation of the Zhejiang Science and Technology Commissioner System, we have adhered to the principles of talent sinking, technology going to rural areas, and serving agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, allowing science and technology commissioners to connect with technology at one end and production at the other. In their determination and practice of "setting great goals in rural areas and creating great achievements in agriculture", they have planted technological wings in agriculture, and with their wisdom and sweat, they have created miracles of mountains, towns, and islands.
A sentiment: treat the affairs of farmers as your own, and the people and land will give back to you.
There is a popular saying among the villagers in Zhejiang: "It's better to have a science and technology special envoy than to have money or material support." The science and technology special envoy system asks for the needs of the people, relieves their difficulties, allows talents to step onto farmland, and allows technology to grow in the soil, which has also been recognized by the people.
At first, the villagers inevitably had concerns about new varieties and technologies, so the technology envoy led the farmers hand in hand to work and show them. They have gained recognition from the people with their solid income growth achievements, becoming the personal and caring people of farmers, which has also given the special envoy a sense of self realization and achievement.
As some people say, "Science and Technology Special Mission" is a bold and unrestrained faction that runs through the mountains and fields, a graceful faction that flows towards the hearts of farmers, an idol faction that uses technology to make agriculture more beautiful, and a powerful faction that helps rural revitalization.

With the deepening of the technology envoy system, a profound transformation has occurred in the land of Zhijiang. However, in the face of more diversified and personalized development demands in rural revitalization, this system may face some challenges in the process of deepening and implementing.
Standing at the new trend of rural revitalization, we must constantly appreciate the strategic thinking, people-oriented sentiment, innovative concepts, systematic methods, and pragmatic style contained in this system, encourage science and technology envoys to better "sink", and lead more rural areas to fully demonstrate their "technological style". The author believes that there are three questions worth considering.
How can fusion be more profound? Some people summarize the implementation of the Zhejiang Science and Technology Special Envoy System into three "ones": having a set of professional skills, going deep into the front line of rural areas, and being together for years and months. The author believes that focusing on the new needs of rural revitalization, such as prosperous industries, livable ecology, civilized rural culture, effective governance, and prosperous living, we should promote deeper integration of technology and agriculture in the future.
For example, new agriculture is a comprehensive business model that integrates the development of primary, secondary, and tertiary industries. Promoting the expansion of professional services for science and technology envoys from the agricultural sector to diverse fields such as manufacturing, e-commerce, planning and design, legal finance, and cultural health can better support the development of the entire agricultural industry chain.
How to further upgrade the service system? At the moment of landing, the technology envoy brought a new model of technology serving agriculture to the countryside, but if we only focus on current needs, there are still some problems. For example, if the on-site service has phased characteristics and the iteration and upgrading speed of agricultural technology is fast, how can we ensure the long-term effectiveness of technological benefits? For example, the agricultural production environment is often affected by various sporadic factors. How to make professional assistance more timely and accurate?
In terms of service mode, at present, "Science and Technology Special Mission" has evolved from the initial "individual combat" and "demand supply" to "group service" and "deep docking". Next, further exploration and practice are needed to explore how this model can continue to deepen iteratively, give play to the cluster effect, and gather high-quality innovation resources.
How can incentive protection be more effective? Rural revitalization should seize the key factor of "people". Only by allowing science and technology envoys to have more space to play, be more respected, and benefit more, can more outstanding talents voluntarily sink and serve wholeheartedly.
For example, continuously strengthening policy guidance and tilting towards science and technology envoys in terms of work funding, project implementation, welfare benefits, awards and awards, and professional title evaluation; For example, further leveraging the market leverage, encouraging technology envoys to form a community of interests with service recipients through technology transfer, licensing, and equity investment based on results, giving envoys peace of mind.
"Science and technology special mission" is a kind of ability and spirit, reflecting the original intention of science and technology workers to serve the people; It is also a kind of confidence and trust, sounding the whistle for the expectations of farmers for a better life and the prospects of rural development; It is more of a system and a strategy to promote rural revitalization, support high-quality development, and use technological power to promote the takeoff of the "agriculture, rural areas, and farmers" cause.
We look forward to more technology envoys firmly walking on this warm land, sowing the seeds of technology, and giving birth to more exciting changes in the countryside.
