Driving green transformation of agriculture with low carbon

Promoting the green and low-carbon development of agriculture and implementing the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" is an inevitable requirement for realizing rural ecological revitalization and an inevitable choice for realizing the "dual-carbon" goal in the agricultural field. "Big country and small peasant" is the basic agricultural condition of our country. The number of small farmers in my country accounts for more than 98% of the total number of agricultural operators, and the area of farmland operated by small farmers accounts for about 70% of the total farmland. How to effectively introduce green and low-carbon elements into the production of small farmers has become the core of promoting the green and low-carbon development of agriculture.

Under such circumstances, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Agricultural Socialized Services" this year, emphasizing the importance of developing single-link, multi-link, and whole-process production trusteeship. Undoubtedly, relying on production trusteeship to promote agricultural carbon reduction, rural greening, and farmers' income increase, and blaze a trail of green and low-carbon development of agriculture in line with national conditions, is an important path for enabling agriculture and rural areas to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.

Strengthen scientific and technological innovation capabilities to help achieve carbon emission reduction and carbon sequestration goals

The key to agricultural modernization lies in technological progress and innovation.

The "Implementation Plan for Carbon Reduction and Carbon Sequestration in Agriculture and Rural Areas" proposes to implement agricultural science and technology innovation support actions, which is an important measure to solve the problem of carbon emission reduction and sequestration in my country's agricultural and rural areas. The inextricable relationship between agriculture and this concept is also traceable, and agriculture has entered a new stage of low-carbon development. By 2025, the green development of agriculture will be fully promoted, the ability to reduce carbon emissions and sequester will be significantly enhanced, the greenhouse gas emission intensity of major agricultural products will be greatly reduced, the ability of agriculture to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change will continue to increase, and the efficiency of agricultural energy use will be effectively improved.

In the process of planting, modern planting methods can effectively reduce the resources consumed in the planting cycle. Irrigation is a good example. Traditional irrigation is highly water-intensive, so the Chinese government has long called for improved irrigation technology.

At the same time, we should also recognize the importance of reducing the use of chemical fertilizers, as this is a major source of agricultural carbon emissions. On the one hand, my country's greenhouse gas emissions in the process of fertilizer production are much higher than the world average. On the other hand, my country is also facing the challenge of excessive fertilization for a long time.

In the future, the relevant state departments will systematically sort out the major scientific and technological needs of my country's agricultural and rural emission reduction and carbon sequestration, organize and carry out agricultural and rural emission reduction and carbon sequestration technology research, and form a number of comprehensive technical solutions to make up for the shortcomings of agricultural and rural green and low-carbon technologies. The implementation of the plan will help improve my country's comprehensive agricultural production capacity, reduce the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions, improve the carbon sequestration capacity of farmland ecosystems, accelerate the development of rural renewable energy, form a green and low-carbon agricultural industry, and promote the overall revitalization of my country's rural areas.

By 2025, a pattern of overall integration of agricultural and rural emission reduction and carbon sequestration with food security, rural revitalization, and agricultural and rural modernization will be basically formed; At the same time, the state will further accelerate the application of intelligent and information technology in agricultural and rural emission reduction and carbon sequestration, build a number of long-term monitoring sites, and improve monitoring index parameters and accounting standards to support the monitoring of agricultural and rural emission reduction and carbon sequestration.
