Guangming Review

Author: Tang Han

In recent days, flood stricken areas in North China, Northeast China, and other regions have accelerated their efforts to restore agricultural production after disasters, taking multiple measures to carry out agricultural disaster relief and disaster relief, organizing agricultural technology experts to go deep into the front line to guide scientific damage reduction, timely allocating funds to ensure the repair of agricultural facilities, and launching replanting and self rescue measures according to local conditions. Efforts have been made to minimize the losses caused by agricultural disasters, providing strong support for the return of autumn grain particles to storage.

With significant achievements in flood control and disaster relief efforts, the affected areas have entered a critical stage of post disaster reconstruction. Efforts to restore agricultural production, stabilize food and important agricultural product production have become urgent tasks at present. Recently, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting to study and deploy flood control, disaster relief, and post disaster recovery and reconstruction work. The meeting pointed out that efforts should be made to repair damaged farmland and agricultural facilities, increase the guarantee of agricultural supplies, strengthen agricultural technology guidance for farmers, organize farmers to actively replant and remedy, do a good job in agricultural disaster prevention and reduction, minimize agricultural losses, and ensure national food security.

A solid granary brings peace to the world. Grain production is closely related to the overall economic and social development, and plays a fundamental role in stabilizing prices, ensuring people's livelihoods, and consolidating the overall market. At present, it is a critical period for the formation of autumn grain production. Faced with the pressure brought by extreme weather during the flood season on agricultural production in some areas, relevant regions and departments should effectively unify their thoughts and actions with the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee, firmly shoulder the responsibility of stabilizing food security, adhere to a systematic concept and bottom line thinking, scientifically and accurately classify policies, seize every minute to seize the agricultural season, ensure the implementation of various disaster prevention and reduction measures, and make every effort to achieve a high agricultural yield throughout the year.

Understand the bottom line and strengthen overall planning. A comprehensive and accurate assessment of various agricultural production disasters is a prerequisite for effectively responding to the impact of natural disasters. We need to conduct in-depth scientific assessments on soil fertility, the degree of damage to agricultural facilities, and based on this, develop precise plans and measures for zoning and classification, closely track and monitor changes in agricultural and meteorological conditions, and flexibly adjust according to actual situations. Government departments should strengthen coordination and cooperation, concentrate their efforts on strengthening organizational leadership, synchronously promote agricultural production recovery and post disaster reconstruction, work together to ensure the human and material needs of agricultural production and facility construction, systematically plan the restoration of flooded farmland and agricultural facilities, and prioritize the preparation work for subsequent links such as agricultural machinery services, storage and transportation, production and sales coordination, and winter wheat planting.

Scientific decision-making classification and policy implementation. After the flood situation stabilized, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jilin and other places immediately organized agricultural technicians at all levels to go to the front line, one-on-one on-site rescue of affected crops to answer questions and provide guidance to farmers. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs also dispatched 103 science and technology teams to the severely affected provinces to provide on-site guidance. The rapid assistance measures have strengthened the hope and confidence of rural residents in disaster resistance and self rescue. The key to reducing agricultural disaster losses lies in seizing the remedial window period. On the one hand, disaster stricken areas should scientifically promote replanting and replanting based on crops and disaster situations, timely support seedlings and apply fertilizer, and minimize yield reduction to ensure stable yields; On the other hand, areas that have not been affected by disasters should also continue to do well in field management, strengthen pest and disease prevention and control, maximize the role of yield increasing factors, and strive to achieve compensatory measures with abundant crops. Strengthening technological support and providing good agricultural technology guidance services require innovative work ideas and utilizing various online and offline channels to enhance the effectiveness of grassroots professional technology promotion and dissemination; We also need to implement the responsibility of service guarantee, improve the tracking service mechanism, and ensure that professional technical opinions are used effectively and effectively.

Strengthen responsibility and closely monitor people's livelihoods. To carry out agricultural disaster prevention and reduction work, it is necessary to always prioritize the protection of the interests of farmers, and firmly grasp the bottom line of people's livelihood with a sense of responsibility that is always at ease. Efforts should be made to implement various disaster relief policies and distribute subsidy funds to every farmer as soon as possible and in full, in order to better support rural residents in resuming their daily production and life, stabilize their expectations, enhance their confidence in reconstruction, and form support for the continuity of agricultural production. In the process of promoting agricultural insurance compensation, it is necessary to strengthen the collaboration between relevant departments and insurance institutions, improve the efficiency of survey and loss assessment through various means, simplify claim procedures, achieve quick and effective claims, and truly play the role of agricultural insurance as a "protective net" for disaster reduction.
