"National Agricultural Biosafety Science Center" project passed demonstration

Introduction: Beijing, Aug 27 - the construction project of "National Agricultural biosafety Science Center" proposed by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences has recently passed the expert demonstration organized by the national development and Reform Commission The expert group believes that the construction project is of great strategic significance for the construction of China's agricultural biosafety defense system under the new historical conditions Experts believe that the construction of the "National Agricultural biosafety Science Center" can not only fill the gap in the construction of high-risk agricultural biosafety research infrastructure in China, but also rapidly improve the basic conditions and facilities capacity in the field of agricultural biosafety research, gather the core strength of agricultural biosafety research in China, and systematically carry out agricultural biosafety Scientific basis and Research on the frontier of high and new technology, break the technical barriers to trade carefully built by developed countries, and build the defense system of agricultural biosafety in China At the same time, the expert group suggested that the operation mechanism of the center should be further clarified to become a platform that can not only ensure national security, but also provide open research; in terms of construction content and financial arrangements, the focus should be further focused on the major needs of the country In recent years, with the rapid development of economic globalization and international trade, China is facing an increasingly serious situation of agricultural biosafety The invasion of dangerous alien organisms into China shows a trend of increasing the number of incoming, accelerating the frequency, expanding the scope of spread and increasing the harm According to reports, each year, only 11 kinds of agricultural and forestry pests and weeds, such as Bemisia tabaci, cause a direct economic loss of 57.4 billion yuan; wheat rust and other crop pests cause frequent harmful variations, and the risk of Regional Disasters increases However, at present, the research of agricultural biosafety in China lags behind, and the construction of facilities is very weak, which seriously restricts the development of the subject and the improvement of the prevention and control technology level of high-risk harmful organisms, leading to the passive situation of agricultural biosafety The project aims to build an international first-class, efficient, open, mobile, competitive and cooperative national base of agricultural biosafety scientific research with complete facilities, complete functions and research system in about two years, so as to substantially improve the research and innovation capacity in the field of agricultural biosafety in China, and comprehensively improve the public management capacity of agricultural biosafety in China.
