Expert: It is imminent to promote the industrialization of biological breeding

On February 22, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Doing a Good Job in the Key Work of Comprehensively Promoting Rural Revitalization in 2022", that is, the No.

"The application of biotechnology is profoundly changing the pattern of global agricultural production and trade.

China's grain production has achieved 18 consecutive harvests, and the absolute safety of rations has been effectively guaranteed.

"In 2021, China's soybean imports will be 96.

According to Wang Xiudong, director and researcher of the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Development of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, improving the level of soybean self-assurance is inseparable from the expansion of the area, the yield per bill of lading, and the search for replacement

"In terms of area expansion, in order to ensure that the sown area of ​​grain (mainly corn) will not be affected, it is necessary to promote new models such as corn and soybean strip compound planting in the southwest, northwest, Huanghuaihai and other regions to explore a compatible development path for corn and soybeans; Promote local implementation of the same responsibilities of the party and government, implement producer subsidies, and develop saline-alkali land suitable for planting to increase soybean planting area

In terms of bill of lading yield, Wang Xiudong believes that it is necessary to speed up the industrialization process of soybean biological breeding, strengthen the research on soybean biological breeding, make full use of excellent technologies, and improve the level of molecular breeding and genome design breeding; it is necessary to increase the investment of government public finance in soybean technology , give full play to the incentive and guiding role of financial funds, and create a good environment for agricultural science and technology innovation

In terms of finding alternatives, it is necessary to continue to effectively use the winter idle fields in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to expand rapeseed, encourage the cultivation of peanuts in Xinjiang's cotton sub-suitable areas, and transform low-yielding camellias to increase production

In Wang Xiaojun's view, promoting the industrialization of biological breeding is a strategic choice for China to catch up with the world's scientific and technological frontiers and ensure national food security

To accelerate the industrialization of biological breeding, Wang Xiaojun believes that the following aspects must be strengthened: First, to accelerate the innovation of biotechnology products, to tap new genes of breeding value, to overcome the constraints of key core technologies, to meet the needs of industrial development, and to develop multi-gene stacking and multi-trait compounding The second is to accelerate the research and system construction of resistance management at the back-end of industrialization, and to establish a resistance management system with Chinese characteristics to prevent the acceleration of target organisms or herbicide resistance; The scientific and technological innovation consortium promotes the accelerated application of biological breeding results; the fourth is to establish a full-process product management system for biological breeding, strengthen the supervision of the market, processing, circulation, trade and other links in the post-industrialization stage, clarify the responsibilities of each relevant subject, and open the front door.
