On March 27, the launching ceremony of the 2024 National Science and Technology Mission and Sichuan Science and Technology Journey to the Countryside was held in Chengdu. At the ceremony, the excellent service group of science and technology to the countryside was commended, the work of the science and technology mission and the science and technology to the countryside in 2023 and the work arrangements for 2024 were reported, and the flags were awarded to the 8 first groups this year, which opened the curtain of thousands of scientific and technological talents going deep into the front line of rural revitalization to help this year.
What are the missions that the experts who participated in the national science and technology mission and the Sichuan science and technology journey to the countryside will shoulder, what specific work will they carry out, and how will they ensure the fulfillment of various tasks? This reporter conducted an interview.
task
The primary task is to grasp the fundamentals of industrial development, carefully cultivate characteristic and advantageous industries, and develop and expand modern agricultural parks
● Focusing on modern agricultural parks, advantageous and characteristic industrial clusters, and strong towns with advantageous and characteristic industries, and taking the large-scale yield improvement of major grains and oils and characteristic economic crops as the main line, we will deeply tap the potential of agricultural production and income increase in helping areas, expand the area from point to line, expand from line to line, integrate all factors, and promote large-scale balanced production increase through the whole system, so as to form a number of demonstration villages and towns that support industrial development with science and technology
●Continue to highlight the theme of talent assistance, insist on extending the teaching classroom to rural courtyards and industrial bases, and strive to cultivate more rural prosperity leaders and "soil experts" and "Tian Xiucai" who cannot be taken away
Grasp the fundamentals of industrial development and carefully cultivate industries with special advantages
"Please rest assured that in the new year, I will live up to my trust and expectations, and continue to contribute to the development of the potato industry in 'Sanzhou'. Just after participating in the launching ceremony, Wang Xiyao, director of the Potato Research and Development Center of Sichuan Agricultural University, got on the car and went to the front line of rural revitalization.
Like Wang Xiyao, a total of dozens of experts from 8 starting groups packed their bags after the launching ceremony and went directly to Neijiang, Meishan, Dazhou, Ziyang, Aba, Liangshan and other places to carry out scientific and technological service activities from the launching ceremony.
As the chief expert of the 27th Regiment of Potato Industry Technical Service of Science and Technology to the Countryside, Wang Xiyao mainly serves parts of Liangshan Prefecture and Ganzi Prefecture. Over the years, she and her team of experts have been deeply involved in the frontline of helping rural areas, and have made hard and practical moves in optimizing potato variety breeding, deepening agricultural technology guidance, and whole-chain assistance, so that potato flowers can bloom in the hinterland of the plateau in Sichuan.
"Sichuan is a major potato producing province, with a planting area of 11 million mu. In the 'three states', potatoes are an important food crop, and the quality and efficiency of its industrial development are crucial to consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation and promoting the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. Wang Xiyao introduced that this year will increase the introduction of varieties, increase industrial support, carry out research and planning around the development of the whole potato industry chain, guide leading enterprises to optimize the source varieties, extend the industrial chain to green and safe storage, modern processing, e-commerce marketing and other links, and continuously improve the added value of the potato industry.
"Wang Xiyao's plan is representative. The relevant person in charge of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee said that 2024 is an important year for Sichuan to vigorously promote the modernization of agriculture and rural areas and accelerate the construction of a strong agricultural province.
It is reported that this year, the majority of experts will highlight the application orientation, focus on the lack of effective supply of scientific and technological services, the poor docking of supply and demand, and the lack of precision in science and technology to benefit farmers, and vigorously make up for the shortcomings of the industrial chain, innovation chain, and talent chain, especially to help make better and stronger industries with local characteristics and advantages, and continue to promote farmers' income; Popularize scientific and technological achievements.
"Specific to the operational level, it is necessary to adhere to the demonstration and guidance, and pay attention to actual results. The main person in charge of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that next, the experts will focus on modern agricultural parks, advantageous and characteristic industrial clusters, and strong towns with advantageous and characteristic industries, and take the main grain and oil and characteristic economic crops as the main line to improve the yield of a large area, and deeply tap the potential of agricultural production and income increase in the help area.
We will continue to highlight the theme of talent mentoring and cultivate more local talents
"This year, while we are doing a good job in technical support for industrial development, we should also focus on talent training and cultivate a group of local experts. As soon as the launching ceremony ended, Xu Xiang, a senior agronomist of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the chief expert of the 12th Regiment of the Soybean Industry Technical Service Group of Science and Technology to the Countryside, called the experts of the regiment to determine the important work of science and technology assistance this year - exporting technology and cultivating talents.
The 12th regiment led by Xu Xiang is composed of 3 professional and technical personnel with senior titles and 2 intermediate titles, mainly serving Yibin City. Last year, the experts of the regiment served in Yibin for a total of 162 days, with an average of 32.4 days per capita, to help the local establishment of 11 soybean strip composite planting technology demonstration parks, with a total area of more than 35,000 acres in the core demonstration area, and carried out 74 technical trainings, a total of 92 on-site guidance, 71 science and technology demonstration households, and 138 rural practical technical backbone talents in local soybean key villages.
The soybean planting area of Yibin City is 584,000 mu, including 220,000 mu of soybean intercropping, which is a key production area of Sichuan soybean industry.
This year, Xu Xiang plans to increase cooperation with departments, units and other industrial service groups at all levels to jointly carry out grassroots technical personnel training, technical training, technical guidance and demonstration and promotion work, and go all out to cultivate a group of soybean experts who "can't take away".
"Science and technology support and talent reserve is the key to the high-quality development of the agricultural industry, last year, participated in the national science and technology mission and Sichuan science and technology to the countryside through the 'mentor and apprentice' pairing training of 891 science and technology demonstration households, 4,358 technical backbone talents, a total of 29,000 practical talents training, to create a retained, can fight, can not take away the local talent team. According to the main person in charge of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, this year, in addition to carefully cultivating characteristic and advantageous industries and developing and expanding modern agricultural parks, experts will continue to highlight the theme of talent assistance, adhere to the extension of teaching classrooms to farmhouse courtyards and industrial bases, and take paired assistance, on-demand training, and door-to-door teaching, etc., to carry out in-depth centralized training, face-to-face, hand-in-hand knowledge, and strive to cultivate more rural leaders and "soil experts" and "Tian Xiucai" who can not be taken away for the help of the land.
