Notice of the Ministry of Agriculture on Implementing Five Actions of Agricultural Green Development

In order to implement the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, implement the new development concept, accelerate the structural reform of agricultural supply side, enhance the ability of agricultural sustainable development, and improve the quality, efficiency and competitiveness of agricultural development, the Ministry of Agriculture has decided to launch five major actions of agricultural green development, such as recycling of livestock manure, replacing chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer for fruit, vegetables and tea, straw treatment in Northeast China, agricultural film recycling and aquatic organism protection with emphasis on the Yangtze River. The relevant matters are hereby notified as follows.

First, fully understand the significance of implementing the five major actions of agricultural green development.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets should adhere to the basic national policy of saving resources and protecting the environment, and promote the formation of a green development mode and lifestyle. This year’s central governmentoneDocument No.10 proposed to promote green production mode and enhance the ability of agricultural sustainable development. Agricultural departments at all levels should seriously study and profoundly understand the spirit of the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, fully understand the significance of implementing the five major actions, and further enhance the sense of urgency and mission in promoting the green development of agriculture.

(A) the implementation of the five major actions of agricultural green development is the key measure to implement the concept of green development.Green development is the inherent requirement of modern agricultural development and an important part of ecological civilization construction. In recent years, China’s grain harvest year after year, abundant supply of agricultural products, agricultural development has continuously stepped onto a new level. However, due to the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the low utilization rate of livestock manure, crop straws and agricultural film resources, the excessive fishing intensity, the increasing resource pressure faced by agricultural development and the "red light" on the ecological environment, China’s agriculture has reached a new stage where it is necessary to speed up transformation and upgrading and realize green development. Implementing the five actions of green development is conducive to promoting the comprehensive treatment and resource utilization of agricultural production wastes, slowing down the trend of excessive utilization intensity of agricultural resources and increasing non-point source pollution, and promoting China’s agriculture to embark on the road of sustainable development.

(2) Implementing the five major actions of agricultural green development is an important starting point for promoting the structural reform of the agricultural supply side.The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that to promote the structural reform of the agricultural supply side, it is necessary to give priority to increasing the supply of green and high-quality agricultural products. At present, China’s agricultural products are supplied to staple goods more than high-quality brands, which does not meet the requirements of the rapid upgrading of consumption structure of urban and rural residents. To promote the green development of agriculture is to develop standardized and branded agriculture, provide more high-quality, safe and characteristic agricultural products, and promote the change of agricultural product supply from mainly meeting the demand of "quantity" to paying more attention to the demand of "quality". Implementing the five actions of green development is conducive to changing the traditional mode of production, reducing the excessive use of inputs such as chemical fertilizers, optimizing the environment of agricultural products, effectively improving product quality, and ensuring the supply of high-quality green agricultural products from the source.

(C) The implementation of the five major actions of agricultural green development is an important way to build a new socialist countryside.Agriculture and environment are most compatible, and the beautiful environment of new countryside cannot be separated from the green development of agriculture. In recent years, with the rapid development of agricultural production, agricultural non-point source pollution has become increasingly serious, especially livestock and poultry waste pollution, which has had a great impact on farmers’ lives and rural environment. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that speeding up the treatment and recycling of livestock and poultry breeding wastes is related.sixThe production and living environment of more than 100 million rural residents is a good thing that benefits the country and the people in the long run. Implementing the five actions of green development is conducive to reducing the discharge of agricultural production waste, beautifying the rural living environment, promoting the construction of new countryside, and realizing the harmonious development between man and nature, and the coordinated and win-win situation between agricultural production and ecological environment.

Second, in-depth implementation of the five major actions of agricultural green development

(a) livestock manure recycling action.Adhere to the principle of ensuring both supply and environment, adhere to the policy of government support, enterprises as the main body and market-oriented operation, focus on large livestock counties and large-scale farms, and accelerate the construction of a new pattern of sustainable development with the combination of farming and animal husbandry. Piloting the resource utilization of livestock manure in large animal husbandry counties, organizing the implementation of the integration project of planting and breeding, integrating and promoting the technical model of resource utilization of livestock manure, supporting farms and third-party market entities to upgrade and upgrade treatment facilities, and improving the capacity of livestock manure treatment. Build a platform for direct reporting of information on large-scale livestock and poultry farms, improve the performance evaluation and assessment system, and compact the responsibility of local governments. Strive to achieve2020In 2000, the problem of manure treatment and resource utilization in large-scale livestock and poultry farms was basically solved.

(2) the action of replacing chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer for fruit, vegetable and tea.In order to develop eco-circular agriculture and improve the quality and efficiency of fruit and vegetable tea, focusing on the dominant producing areas, core producing areas and well-known brand production bases of fruit and vegetable tea, we will vigorously promote the technology of replacing chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer, accelerate the resource utilization of livestock and poultry breeding waste and crop straw, and realize cost saving and efficiency improvement.2017Year selection100Several key counties (cities, districts) of fruit, vegetable and tea will carry out demonstrations, support and guide farmers and new business owners to produce and apply organic fertilizer in bulk, promote the utilization mode of organic fertilizer according to local conditions, cultivate the service subject of unified supply and application of organic fertilizer by means of government purchase services, attract social forces to participate, and integrate a number of replicable, scalable and sustainable production and operation modes. Focusing on the dominant production areas and core production areas, we will focus on creating a number of production bases (parks) for organic fertilizer substitution and green high-quality agricultural products, and give play to the demonstration effect. Strengthen the monitoring of cultivated land quality, establish a target assessment mechanism, and scientifically evaluate the pilot demonstration results. Strive to achieve2020In, the amount of chemical fertilizer in the dominant fruit, vegetable and tea producing areas decreased.20%Above all, the consumption of chemical fertilizer in the core producing areas of fruit, vegetable and tea and well-known brand production bases (parks) has decreased.50%Above.

(3) Straw treatment actions in Northeast China.Adhere to local conditions, agricultural priority, local proximity, government guidance, market operation, scientific and technological support, focus on the treatment and utilization of corn straw, aim at improving the comprehensive utilization rate of straw and the protection of black land, vigorously promote the utilization of straw as fertilizer, feed, fuel, raw materials and base materials, strengthen the research and development of new technologies, new processes and new equipment, accelerate the establishment of industrial utilization mechanism, and continuously improve the comprehensive utilization level of straw. In northeast China60Three major corn-producing counties took the lead in carrying out the pilot project of comprehensive utilization of straw, actively promoted technologies such as deep ploughing, harmless and antiseptic straw feed and zero-pollution incineration heating, promoted the introduction of subsidy policies such as straw returning to field, collection, storage and transportation, processing and utilization, stimulated the vitality of market players, built a market-oriented operation mechanism, and explored a comprehensive utilization model. Strive to achieve2020In, the comprehensive utilization rate of straw in Northeast China reached80%Above, basically put an end to the phenomenon of open burning.

(4) Agricultural film recycling action.Take the northwest as the key area, cotton, corn and potato as the key crops, and take the application of thickened plastic film, mechanized picking, specialized recycling and resource utilization as the main direction, and implement them in succession, promote the whole county and comprehensively manage them. Construction in Gansu, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia.100A demonstration county, comprehensively promote the use of thick plastic film, promote the reduction of substitution; Promote the establishment of recycling mechanisms in various ways, such as exchanging old ones for new ones, handing over business entities, recycling by specialized organizations and recycling by processing enterprises, and pilot the extended responsibility system of plastic film producers who produce and recycle; Improve the monitoring network of farmland residual plastic film pollution, and explore the inclusion of ground recovery rate and residual status in the comprehensive assessment of agricultural non-point source pollution. Strive to achieve2020In, the recovery rate of agricultural film reached.80%Above all, the "white pollution" of farmland has been effectively controlled.

(five) the protection of aquatic organisms with the focus on the Yangtze River.Adhere to ecological priority, green development, reduction of income, reduction of ships and conversion of production, gradually promote a comprehensive ban on fishing in the Yangtze River basin, take the lead in achieving a ban on fishing in aquatic biological reserves, and repair the ecological environment of coastal fisheries along the Yangtze River. Increase capital investment, guide and support fishermen to change jobs, and include fishing boat control targets in the binding assessment indicators of local governments and relevant departments.2020In 2000, the country reduced the number of marine fishing motor boats.2Ten thousand ships, power150Ten thousand kilowatts. Carry out the demonstration of healthy aquaculture, promote the construction of marine pastures, and promote the reduction and efficiency of aquaculture. Strengthen the management of the total amount of marine fishery resources, improve the system of closed fishing, jointly carry out special law enforcement actions such as closed fishing in summer, and continue to clean up and rectify the "homeless network" and the "three noes" ships involved in fishing. We will carry out rescue operations for rare and endangered species, strengthen the protection of aquatic habitats, improve the functional system of protected areas, upgrade the protection level of key species, and accelerate the establishment of a gene bank for rare and endemic species in the Yangtze River. Strive to achieve2020In, the decline of aquatic biological resources, the deterioration of ecological environment and the decline of aquatic biodiversity in the Yangtze River basin were effectively curbed, and the aquatic biological resources were restored, achieving the coordination between the total output of marine fishing and the total carrying capacity of marine fishery resources.

Third, strengthen organizational leadership to ensure the orderly development of the five major actions.

(a) the implementation of work responsibilities.The Ministry of Agriculture has issued an action plan for replacing chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer for fruit, vegetable and tea, and four other action plans will be issued in the near future. The provincial agricultural departments should take the five actions to promote the green development of agriculture as the current key work, study and formulate the local implementation plan, clarify the objectives and tasks, promote the path and division of responsibilities, intensify the integration of projects, funds and resources, improve the incentive mechanisms such as performance appraisal, fund awards and subsidies, and promotion and display of agricultural products, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of local governments, especially county-level governments, to grasp the protection of rural resources and environment, and form a work pattern of joint management and linkage from top to bottom to ensure that all actions are promoted in an orderly manner.

(2) Strengthen market guidance.It is necessary to further change the way of working, adopt the way of government purchasing services, increase the cultivation of market players, and actively develop producer services. Give full play to the leading role of new business entities, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of production and business entities, especially large-scale business entities, and encourage the participation of third parties and social forces to jointly promote the green development of agriculture in accordance with the principle of "whoever participates benefits". At the same time, it is necessary to establish and improve the operating mechanism of "getting in and getting out", strengthen market supervision, further standardize the behavior of market players and implement the responsibilities of market players.

(3) Innovative technology model.To strengthen the construction of scientific and technological innovation alliance, actively carry out collaborative research in Industry-University-Research, and increase the research and development of supporting new technologies, new products and new equipment. Do a good job in pilot demonstration, integrate and assemble a number of replicable and scalable technology models, expand the scope of promotion, and amplify the demonstration effect. Combined with the training project of new professional farmers and the cultivation plan of modern young farmers, we will strengthen technical training, carry out technical exchanges and improve the level of technical application.

(4) Highlight key areas.All localities should combine the characteristics of industrial development, highlight the cultivation of large counties, give priority to areas with good industrial foundation and high enthusiasm of local governments, increase financial and policy support, and accelerate the implementation of the green development strategy. In particular, the national modern agricultural demonstration zone, the rural reform experimental zone, the agricultural sustainable development experimental demonstration zone and the modern agricultural industrial park should promote the five major actions as a whole and take the lead in realizing green development.
