Keeping Food Security and Helping Agriculture to Rejuvenate the Country

The country is unstable without agriculture, and the people are uneasy without food

In recent years, with the strong support of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government and the correct leadership of the Shenzhen Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, the Shenzhen Agricultural Science and Technology Promotion Center (hereinafter referred to as the Shenzhen Agricultural Promotion Center) has aimed at the main focus of Shenzhen's seed industry safety and food security.

Overcoming difficulties and building a new line of defense for food security

As a financial approval department-level institution under the Shenzhen Market Supervision Bureau and the only government-level agricultural technology support professional organization in Shenzhen, the Shenzhen Agriculture Promotion Center plays an important role in Shenzhen's agricultural development and food security

Carrying the high expectations and sustenance of the superior leaders, the Shenzhen Agriculture Promotion Center was not intimidated by the difficulties, but under the unified deployment of the Shenzhen Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, quickly monitored the temperature of personnel, management of prevention and control materials, and logistical support to build a solid foundation.

To stabilize agriculture and ensure food security, seed security is the foundation, and agricultural epidemic prevention is an important guarantee

In order to fully grasp the status of seed quality and safety in Shenzhen, in 2020, the Shenzhen Agriculture Promotion Center will comprehensively carry out seed quality risk monitoring and assessment, and complete the quality risk monitoring of more than 80 batches of crop and vegetable seeds covering all districts in the city, and provide relevant enterprises and farmers.

The safety supervision of agricultural GMOs is related to food safety, food safety and ecological safety

In terms of prevention and control of major plant epidemics, Shenzhen Agricultural Promotion Center further optimized the major plant epidemic prevention and control mechanism of "government-led, department responsible, territorial management, and scientific prevention and control", and comprehensively promoted "government purchasing services, professional prevention and control, and civic education.

In the prevention and control of crop diseases and insect pests, the Shenzhen Agriculture Promotion Center has established 21 monitoring points for crop diseases and insect pests jointly built by provinces and cities, 9 monitoring points for the major pest Spodoptera frugiperda, and established a demonstration area for green prevention and control of crop diseases and insect pests and unified farmland eradication 13 It provides technical support for the precise prevention and control of crop diseases and insect pests in Shenzhen.

Optimizing Youpei to open up a new situation in the development of the seed industry

With a good development environment, how can Shenzhen's agriculture achieve high-quality development? Zhou Xiangyang, director of the Shenzhen Agricultural Promotion Center, believes that germplasm resources are the key

To this end, while preventing and controlling the epidemic, Shenzhen Agriculture Promotion Center has also vigorously carried out technical research and scientific research cooperation, which has created favorable conditions for the improvement of seed industry technology

At the same time, Shenzhen Agriculture Promotion Center, Guangdong Modern Agricultural Equipment Research Institute and China Agricultural Mechanization Science Research Institute jointly established a new R&D institution for smart agricultural machinery and equipment—Shenzhen Modern Agricultural Equipment Research Institute to build a seed industry development ecosystem and speed up The construction of agricultural mechanization has provided strong support for Shenzhen to open up the coordinated development of the entire industrial chain of modern seed industry, smart agriculture and food industry

In terms of technical research, Shenzhen Agriculture Promotion Center has successively undertaken the projects of "Seven Major Crop Breeding" projects of the Ministry of Science and Technology, "Verification, Promotion and Application of DNA Fingerprint Identification Technology of Main Crops", "Seeds, Seedlings and Soil Treatment Technology and Supporting Equipment".

The value of seed industry is ultimately reflected in planting

The Shenzhen Agriculture Promotion Center has carried out planting tests according to different soil characteristics, completed two regional tests of new crop varieties in Guangdong Province, and 6 planting display tasks of Shenzhen's original new rice varieties, etc.

In 2021, Shenzhen will hold activities such as the Asian Seed Conference, the Guangdong Seed Industry Expo and the Southern Fresh Corn Exhibition.

Talent training supports modern urban agriculture

Whether it is to provide technical support for agricultural safety or to provide good germplasm resources for more regions, the ultimate goal is to play the leading demonstration role of Shenzhen's agriculture and help the high-quality development of China's agriculture
.
However, as the first city in China without rural areas and farmers, Shenzhen has only about 6,700 hectares of arable land and more than 3,300 hectares of permanent basic farmland
.
In order to breed greater value on limited land, it is necessary to win with science and technology, and embark on a new road of modern urban agriculture with Shenzhen characteristics
.

The development of agricultural science and technology must be supported by talents
.
In 2020, the Shenzhen Agricultural Promotion Center will continue to increase its efforts in talent training, continue to innovate in the publicity of agricultural-related laws and regulations, demonstration and promotion of agricultural technologies, strengthen the professional and technical capabilities of on-the-job personnel, actively introduce outstanding talents at home and abroad, and optimize talent training.
The system has cultivated a group of high-quality agricultural talents for Shenzhen
.

Among them, the Shenzhen Agriculture Promotion Center has carried out 24 sessions of various agricultural skills training courses in vegetable production bases in and outside Shenzhen, and trained more than 2,400 agricultural personnel in Shenzhen; carried out pesticide reduction and efficiency enhancement, green prevention and control, and monitoring and early warning of pests and diseases.
, 10 field rodent eradication technology training sessions, with more than 800 trainees; various agricultural skills training, involving viticulture, vegetable clean production technology, agricultural practical technology training,
etc.
A series of measures have promoted the agricultural training work in Shenzhen to be gradually normalized, standardized and scientific, and a teaching team of agricultural experts who are loved by vegetable farmers has been formed, which has built a solid working platform for further agricultural training
.

While enhancing the strength of talents, the Shenzhen Agriculture Promotion Center accelerated the pace of development of smart agriculture, built an innovative service platform for germplasm resources, completed the construction of a tunnel greenhouse and a dome greenhouse, introduced a crop phenotype platform system, collected The three-dimensional image information of crop canopy redefines plant phenotype standards, establishes an agricultural germplasm screening platform, and conducts digital monitoring and management of crop growth, which significantly improves the level of agricultural information management
.

The Shenzhen Agriculture Promotion Center closely focuses on the "Dual District" driving strategy of Shenzhen, closely follows the needs of urban development, and strives to build the experimental demonstration field into the core area of ​​the national agricultural high-tech park.
Integrate into one and explore a new path for the development of Shenzhen's urban agriculture
.

In 2021, the haze of the epidemic has not yet dissipated, and the pressure on food security will not be reduced.
The Shenzhen Agriculture Promotion Center will continue to adhere to the leadership of the party, closely focus on the deployment arrangements of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government and the Shenzhen Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, and strive for unremitting efforts.
The attitude and the mental state of rain or shine continue to escort the agricultural development of Shenzhen and contribute "Shenzhen Power" to the agricultural development of the whole country! (Xu Chuangye, Wu Yunsheng, Song Ruifeng)
