Agricultural development: what is "modern"?

Agricultural development: what is "modern"?

"Hasn't our food and clothing problems been solved? Why waste resources to start agricultural colleges?"

In recent years, many colleges and universities have been intensively preparing for the establishment of "agricultural colleges", and the craze for running agricultural colleges has caused many people to question loudly
.

"But if you really understand the word'modern' in our modern agricultural college, this question is actually very easy to answer

Dean

Since the founding of New China for more than 70 years, China's agriculture has gone through a glorious development process and achieved historic achievements that have attracted worldwide attention
.

China uses less than 9% of the world's arable land to feed nearly 20% of the world's population, and the people's dining table is becoming more and more abundant

Under the suggestions of various agricultural scientists, in order to truly solve the major national needs of agricultural development, the modern agricultural dream will take root.
On January 22, 2018, when the planting season is about to usher in, the National Science and Technology University commissioned Genetics and Developmental Biology Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as "Institute of Genetic Development"), with the assistance of more than a dozen other agricultural research institutes, formally established a modern agricultural college integrating science and education
.

Centering on the goal of “taking the virtues of people as the foundation, strengthening the agriculture and the prosperity of agriculture as its own responsibility, producing more scientific and technological achievements, and cultivating more new talents who know and love agriculture”, the Modern Agricultural College is developing steadily and currently has a total of 4 There are 3 departments, 25 teaching and research sections (including 4 directly affiliated teaching and research sections), the college has 9 academicians , 46 outstanding youths, 81 full-time teachers, 439 graduate tutors, and more than 160 teacher teachers

The future of farming: to endure loneliness can you gain a lot

The future of farming: to endure loneliness can you gain a lot

"I was born in a vibrant spring at the time, so my family gave me this name
.
" And Lu Zizi was also interested in studying plants as if by fate
.
"Seeing the process from germination to growth, and finally maturity, I feel very fulfilled
.
" However, because people around her do not have a thorough understanding of agronomy, social pressure and doubts around her have always surrounded her
.
"Although I know that it is very hard to follow this path, but in my opinion, it is a very meaningful thing to solve the many difficulties of people's livelihood
.
Those older generation of agricultural scientists are not just step by step and many years.
Have you made great achievements in the training? What can we not do?” Lu Ye Zi firmly added, “Our experimental materials require dedication and a long wait, but I think that as long as we don’t forget The original intention is to keep poverty and loneliness, and hard work will surely be fed back to the research results
.
"

When asked which three words he would choose to describe the characteristics of the students of Modern Agricultural College, Feng Feng answered without hesitation, "Practical, hardworking, and responsible
.
" "When doing experiments, students must endure hardships.
" Hard work requires seeking truth from facts
.
Basic field practice is also a necessary process, because agronomic research must eventually be implemented in practice and fields so that it can contribute to major national food security needs
.
" In this year, Modern Agricultural College has cooperated with Koutou Village, Qiaozi Town, Huairou District, Beijing has officially reached a rice planting cooperation, so that more students in the first year of graduate school can have the opportunity to explore the infinite mysteries of crop growth in the fields
.

"The purpose of our scientific research is to interpret the spirit of agricultural scientists through practical actions, and continue to use our knowledge and strength to make innovations and innovations for strengthening agriculture and rural revitalization
.
" At the same time, in Lu Zhengkuan's heart, the spirit of agriculture There is another interpretation, “In my opinion, agronomists should have the motherland in mind and the earth in mind
.
Whenever the harvest is harvested, the satisfaction of the harvest in my heart is beyond words, and I also want to This joy is passed on to more people
.
"

As of July 2021, a total of more than 800 students from the Modern Agricultural College have gone to 11 research institutes across the country to devote themselves to agricultural scientific research
.
What they inherited is the spirit of the older generation of agricultural scientists who are bold in innovation, seeking truth and being pragmatic, down-to-earth, and not afraid of hardship.
What they aspire to is to write a new chapter for contemporary agronomists on the land of the motherland
.

Overlooking an acre of rice fields, a golden field greets you
.
Shuttle among them, what I smell is the fragrance of rice, what I hear is the sound of wind and rice waves, and what I feel is the joy of laughter from the farmers around them shouting "A good harvest"
.
Put your hand gently on the grain-filled rice, and you can't help smiling
.
Because I can feel the happiness and joy at the fingertips, because I can feel the pride and pride in the rice, and even more because we are standing in the field of hope
