What are the new trends in the development of agriculture? After conducting research on 10 towns and 20 villages, Shanghai counselors proposed ten directional suggestions

Release time:Apr 16, 2024 21:19 PM

Just like cities have many new tracks, there are also many new trends in the agricultural sector.

Starting from May this year, the Municipal Government Counselor Research Group has focused on the theme of "grasping the new trend in the agricultural field under the background of metropolitan areas", visiting fields, villages, enterprises, and universities, and conducting in-depth on-site visits and research on nearly 20 villages, 30 enterprises, and institutions in more than 10 towns in the suburbs of this city.

"Our judgment on the future trend of agriculture is that agriculture is shifting from an 'agricultural factory' to a 'smart connected factory', farmers are shifting from an 'agricultural worker' to a 'new agricultural knowledge worker', and rural areas are shifting from a 'beautiful countryside' to an 'urban-rural integration'." Zhao Weixing, the leader of the research group and a counselor to the municipal government, said that based on summarizing and analyzing domestic and foreign cases and experiences, the counselors have formed 10 directional suggestions for the development of new trends in the agricultural field in Shanghai, namely seed source agriculture, microbial agriculture, low-carbon agriculture, smart connected agriculture, full chain agriculture, central kitchen, land economy, rural science and technology innovation, rural renewal, and rural housing models. ".

Seize the development highland of seed source agriculture

Keywords: Source microorganisms

"Agricultural seed sources are located at the source of the agricultural production chain, which is a touchstone reflecting the level of local agricultural technology." The counselors believe that Shanghai should build a science and technology innovation center with global influence, undertake the mission of science and technology innovation source planning, and seed source agriculture is one of the main directions of attack.

At present, there is still a situation in which a large amount of seeds in China rely on imports. The main source of imported seeds for field crops is the United States, while the main source of imported vegetable seeds is Japan. Moreover, the packaging of seeds in most countries states that "seeds cannot be left behind, and the consequences are at one's own risk.". And China's seed market is huge, with a scale of 118 billion yuan in 2021, ranking second in the world.

And Shanghai's seed source agriculture is constantly growing. For example, the establishment of a national characteristic germplasm resource mid-term database and a national edible mushroom germplasm resource database, collecting more than 220000 germplasm resources such as crops, fruit trees, flowers, microorganisms, etc., can provide fundamental, cutting-edge, and applied technical guarantees for the innovative development of the seed industry. In terms of joint research on variety breeding, the series of water-saving and drought resistant rice products in Shanghai have been extended to 2/3 provinces and more than 20 countries along the "the Belt and Road"; The mushroom seed industry in Shanghai accounts for 30% of the national market.

"However, there is still a gap in Shanghai's industrialization and demonstrative leadership in seed source agriculture. For example, among the top 10 seed industry enterprises in China, Shanghai has not yet made the list, which also demonstrates the development potential of Shanghai to create a new highland for seed source agriculture from another perspective." Zhao Weixing said.

The counselors believe that on the one hand, Shanghai should utilize its advantages in technology, talent, and other fields to introduce and cultivate more seed industry enterprises with industry influence, and expand the influence and market share of Shanghai's seed source agriculture through leading enterprises; On the other hand, we need to seize the development highland of seed source agriculture, seize the key "core" of agriculture, build an innovative development platform for the seed industry, and make Shanghai a multi-functional source and testing ground for seed source achievement exhibitions, pilot experiments, demonstration and promotion, auction transactions, transformation services, and other functions.

In addition to seed sources, microorganisms are also a new benchmark and new trend representing the development of agricultural technology. The recycling of agricultural plants, animals, and microorganisms is an important opportunity for traditional agriculture to expand towards more diverse microbial agriculture. In recent years, the application rate of the national microbiology market in the industry has risen to second place, with agriculture accounting for 28%.

The current application of microbial agriculture is mainly concentrated in six major sectors: fertilizers, pesticides, feed additives, food, energy, and ecological environment protection agents. Taking microbial feed additives as an example, they can be used to adjust the ecological imbalance in livestock and poultry, stimulate the growth of beneficial bacterial species in animals, and have gradually become a promising alternative to antibiotics.

"The 'pine forest model' is worth studying and promoting," said Zhao Weixing. Songlin Company is one of the stations in the counselor's research. Its large-scale building pig farm covers an area of 102 acres, with an annual output of 80000 high-quality food pigs and an annual production of 90000 tons of manure. Its utilization rate of manure resources has achieved maximum utilization of microbial agriculture. For example, in terms of microbial energy, fully automated equipment is used to ferment manure into biogas, which can generate over 10000 kWh of electricity per day. It can also be paired with a glass greenhouse for winter heating.

The counselors believe that as a resource constrained mega city, Shanghai should establish awareness of seeking resources, heat, and protein from the microbial community, vigorously develop microbial agriculture, develop agricultural microbial products, and reflect the driving and spillover effects of Shanghai's microbial agriculture.

Flatten the digital divide between urban and rural areas

Keywords: Low carbon agriculture, smart connectivity agriculture, full chain agriculture

Developing low-carbon agriculture has become a consensus among countries around the world. For example, Israel combines drip irrigation technology with precision fertilization, which saves about 90% of water and 50% of energy compared to traditional irrigation, with an average increase of 30%. The agricultural water consumption is much lower than the world average.

The rice "August Fragrance" was harvested and harvested in 10000 acres of fertile land in Nanlu Village, Langxia Town, Jinshan District. This is a water-saving and drought resistant rice developed by Professor Luo Lijun's team.

Shanghai has also achieved good results in strengthening the development of green agriculture and promoting low-carbon agriculture practices. The counselors conducted research on a new water-saving and drought resistant rice variety developed by Professor Luo Lijun's team at the Shanghai Agricultural Biotechnology Gene Center. While the yield is on par with traditional rice, the production process can reduce irrigation by 53.3% and fertilizer application by 47.7%, and significantly reduce agricultural non-point source pollution. This variety can be directly planted in dry and dry pipes without the need for irrigation in open channels. This achievement will contribute to the development of carbon trading projects and achieve low-carbon and high-value development of rice production.

The counselors believe that Shanghai should closely follow the development trend and trend of low-carbon agriculture, actively explore composite technology systems such as planting and breeding integration and circular economy in low-carbon agriculture, promote green, low-carbon, and circular development of agriculture, and maintain the balance of the agricultural ecosystem.

Full chain agriculture is also a new trend - modern agriculture often connects "two" and "three", and the deep integration of industries greatly expands the value chain of modern agriculture, forming a new division of labor chain and business format, which is the basic feature of full chain agriculture.

Counselors found through research that Shanghai has multiple advantages such as consumer market, scientific and educational resources, industrial system, and social capital. Through deep processing of agricultural products, sales of agricultural products, and other supporting services, it has achieved multi link value-added and formed many successful experiences. For example, Qingmei Company focuses on building a green food industry chain that integrates primary, secondary, and tertiary industries. It integrates source research and development, modern agriculture, product processing, cold chain logistics, market sales, and catering services, with an annual sales revenue of 12 billion yuan. It provides fresh food consumption for more than 20 million people in the Yangtze River Delta and drives more than 5000 farmers to achieve employment.

Another example is Pinduoduo, the largest e-commerce platform for agricultural products in China. Through digital and Internet technology, it directly connects more than 1000 farm areas, driving more than 16 million agricultural producers to participate in it, covering more than 40000 agricultural products.

The counselors believe that Shanghai should promote the high-quality development of full chain agriculture, deepen the integration of primary, secondary, and tertiary industries, comprehensively enhance the value chain and comprehensive benefits of agriculture, and form a scientific industrial layout, rich and diverse formats, closely related industries, obvious agglomeration effects, and significant driving characteristics of the entire agricultural industry chain.

The digital construction in the field of agriculture is advancing rapidly. For example, unmanned farms adopt new generation information technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, robots, etc., which can complete the production mode of unmanned operations in all farms. Shanghai Jiqing Technology Company is also one of the stops in the counselor's research. The company has achieved intelligent control in the core environmental technology of unmanned greenhouses and is actively promoting precise unmanned operation of greenhouse environmental control. With the help of independently developed hydroponic nutrient solution improvement formulas, it has achieved high yield, high nutrition, and high-quality vegetable supply.

"Zhilian Agriculture is a new field and the direction of future development," Zhao Weixing said. In the process of realizing digital transformation, Shanghai needs to have a higher starting point and a broader perspective, and bridge the digital divide between urban and rural areas. In implementing the rural revitalization strategy, promoting smart agriculture is given a more important position, with special attention paid to the research and development of smart agriculture technology and equipment, the application of artificial intelligence models and algorithms in agriculture, and the development of high-end smart equipment.

Make rural areas truly "urban backyard"

Keywords: Central Kitchen Campsite Economy

The central kitchen industry belongs to a new type of catering development model, which directly connects the fields and market dining tables. The popularity of pre made dishes has once again made the central kitchen a new trend. It is understood that over 80% of large-scale catering enterprises in China have completed or are currently laying out central kitchens.

Currently, Shanghai accounts for 30% of the sales of pre made vegetables in China. Zhao Weixing believes that by relying on platforms such as the Global Prefabricated Vegetable Brand Exhibition and Trading Center, Hongqiao Overseas Trade Center West Hongqiao Branch Platform, and Trade Digital Empowerment Center, we can build a global food industry chain exchange platform, connect the entire industry university research and sales chain, and promote the high-quality development of the central kitchen industry.

In addition to the central kitchen, there is also a campsite economy that showcases the characteristics of an urban backyard. In the coming years, rural tourism will become a trend, and the new forms and models of tourism derived from it will cover various aspects such as living needs, entertainment needs, exploration needs, and social needs. Related products will experience explosive growth.

"The characteristics of rural tourism in Shanghai are high-end and leading." Zhao Weixing said, firstly, using urban big IPs to drive rural small IPs. For example, Disney+Beast+homestays, which radiate to tens of thousands of households, have driven the development of rural homestays in the surrounding areas of Disney. The second is to drive new consumption with new markets. For example, the campsite economy characterized by camping and RVs has become a major "top stream" in the rural leisure tourism market. Data shows that camping orders in Shanghai increased by 383% compared to the same period last year, making it the top ten popular camping destinations in China.

The counselors suggest that Shanghai should fully leverage the advantages of an international metropolis, strengthen diversified policy support for campsite economies such as RVs, camping, and homestays, deeply tap into the local agricultural folk roots and cultural genes of the suburbs, create a number of rural fashion scenes, turn good habits into new economies, turn big IPs into large traffic, attract more people to choose rural areas as leisure tourism destinations, and truly make rural areas the "backyard of the city".

Forming a positive interaction between urban life and rural experience

Keywords: Rural Science and Technology Innovation, Rural Renewal, Rural Residential Model

The key to rural revitalization is industrial development. The entry of enterprises into rural areas not only brings industry and technology to the countryside, but also revitalizes rural resources, strengthens rural value, and makes rural development more dynamic. For example, German companies prefer rural towns, with 97 of the top 100 companies headquartered in rural areas, providing industrial support for the towns and enabling residents to have stable economic sources without leaving their hometowns.

Shanghai also has unique advantages in cultivating rural science and technology innovation. The counselors conducted research on Qingpu Harmony Village, and Red Bean Group collaborated with them to leverage their proximity to Outlets to relocate the company's R&D headquarters to the village and attract more relevant enterprises to settle in, jointly creating the "Harmony Water Street" project.

Shanghai should place the expansion of new rural spaces in an important position for rural revitalization. The counselors believe that establishing a sound rural science and technology innovation policy system, guiding universities, research institutes, large enterprise groups, townships, and parks to jointly build rural science and technology innovation platforms, strengthening rural science and technology innovation entities, cultivating and developing a group of innovative and dynamic rural science and technology innovation brand enterprises, and exploring a rural science and technology innovation industry university research cooperation model that is in line with Shanghai's actual situation.

Cities need organic renewal, and rural areas also need organic renewal. Shanghai has enormous potential and excellent investment opportunities in promoting rural renewal. The counselors suggest promoting the growth of investment and consumption interaction and the deep integration of urban and rural areas in rural renewal. Innovate the cooperation model between government and social capital, and improve the mechanism for sharing interests among the government, collectives, and enterprises. At the same time, drawing on Japan's experience in rural infrastructure, research and develop rural renewal plans, create several new consumption scenarios, and make rural areas a new field for driving investment, promoting consumption, and implanting industries.

It has become a norm for urban crowds to travel to rural areas for leisure and lifestyle in a tidal manner. The counselors suggest that Shanghai should fully leverage its advantages, make early plans, and actively develop a rural residential model with leisure vacation, cultural experience, health preservation, parent-child education, etc. as the main content, forming a positive interaction between urban life and rural experience. This can also enable more urban people to understand the countryside, remember their homesickness, and participate in rural construction.

The per capita enjoyment level is 69500 yuan, and the number of insured employees in Shanghai's work-related injury insurance exceeds 10 million. Enterprises | work-related injuries | per capita

Today is the concentrated promotion day for work-related injury insurance in this city. Staff members from various levels of human resources and social security departments in Shanghai walked out of the office and further popularized policies and regulations such as the Social Insurance Law, the Work Injury Insurance Regulations, and the Shanghai Work Injury Insurance Implementation Measures through distributing promotional materials, on-site consultations, training lectures, and online interactions. They strengthened the awareness of employers and workers to understand, abide by, and use the law, and made every effort to promote the entry of work injury insurance policies into parks, enterprises, government agencies, and communities. In addition, the Shanghai Human Resources and Social Security Department launched a centralized publicity campaign on work injury insurance throughout the city in July, with the theme of "Work Injury Insurance, Accompanying You", which is one of the government open activities for the local human resources and social security department. It is understood that in recent years, the work injury insurance work in this city has broken through the traditional institutional framework, increased reform and innovation efforts, and implemented multiple measures simultaneously

Representative's suggestion to alleviate public concerns: It is not easy for residents of Chongming Changxing Island to handle property transactions. National People's Congress Representative | Demand | Chongming Changxing Island

Changxing Island in Chongming District has multiple medium to large residential areas with a large population and strong demand for real estate transactions. However, due to the distance between Changxing Island and Chongming Island, the public has a long journey to handle real estate transactions, and the round-trip time is long, which brings many inconveniences to the residents of Changxing area. Now, the integration of online registration services in the eastern center of Changxing Island will make the offline round trip of certificate processing go through a lot of trouble. And this is thanks to the handling of the suggestions made by the National People's Congress deputies. This year, the Standing Committee of the Chongming District People's Congress conducted a law enforcement inspection on the Decision of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress on Further Promoting and Ensuring the Reform of "One Network Service". On the basis of extensive collection of social and public opinion, Gu Fangliang, a representative of the District People's Congress and Chairman of the Changxing Town People's Congress, put forward suggestions on the difficulty of obtaining certificates in Changxing Island. Based on the actual needs of the people, we will play a role in empowering information technology,
