Global agricultural science and technology innovation presents a new trend
The No. 1 Central Document focuses on planning the "13th Five-Year Plan" agricultural and rural work, focusing on development ideas, goals and key tasks in the next five years, while taking into account the annual key tasks.
The document points out that a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is emerging, injecting strong driving force into agricultural transformation and upgrading. Under the background of the deepening influence of the international agricultural product market, how to make overall use of both international and domestic markets and resources to enhance China's agricultural competitiveness and win the initiative to participate in international market competition is a major challenge that must be addressed.
The world's agricultural science and technology innovation has entered a new active period, leading agricultural technology into a new round of development era. Since entering the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", agriculture is stepping into modern agriculture dominated by informatization, led by biological manufacturing, intelligent production, and sustainable development.
The agricultural innovation chain supports the agricultural industry chain, and the agricultural science and technology innovation system has become a new direction of competition. At present, the process of globalization of agricultural production division is accelerating, and major international agricultural multinational enterprises such as Monsanto and John Deere have relied on the advantages of scientific and technological innovation to carry out global industrial layout. The agricultural industry chain has shown new characteristics and development trends such as joint investment and joint development at the high end of the industry chain. The competition of agricultural science and technology innovation is evolving from the single, single and one-way competition of technology and product to the multi-integration and innovation competition of the whole industry chain of brand, industrial organization and business model characterized by technology and product. Agricultural science and technology innovation activities continue to break through the boundaries of region, organization and technology, and evolve into the competition of innovation system.
The combination of agricultural science and technology and finance is becoming more and more close, and agricultural enterprises have become the new main body of competition. The establishment of an investment and financing mechanism under the guidance of the government, the main body of the market, the coordination between the government, the enterprise and the people, and the organic combination of science, technology and finance has become the driving force for the development of emerging agricultural industries in the world. Multinational agricultural enterprises have increased investment in science and technology to seize the technological commanding heights. In the past ten years, seed companies have become the main body of forage and turfgrass breeding in the United States, registering nearly 100 new forage varieties every year. Agricultural enterprises have become the main body of agricultural science and technology competition.
Since the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", my country's agricultural technology has developed rapidly, and the supporting and leading role of technological innovation in the development of modern agriculture has gradually increased. Compared with developed countries, it is found that China has formed a basic pattern of a small number of leading, most parallel and following, and most of them are in a state of parallel and following. In addition to technological competition, China has not yet formed an effective mechanism and system to turn scientific and technological advantages into the driving force of economic development; there is still a lack of leaders and excellent teams in the scientific and technological team to accurately grasp the trend of scientific and technological development and determine the direction of breakthrough. These issues will pose serious challenges that affect our ability to achieve innovation-driven development.
