Xinghua is a big agricultural city. For a long time, we have been committed to the transformation from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture. At present, under the new situation that the whole party and the whole society emphasize scientific development, we are more deeply aware of the extreme importance of developing ecological agriculture to the construction of modern agriculture. Now it can be said that for a region, ecology is the foundation, brand, development and stamina, and these are more prominent and direct in agriculture. Below, mainly combined with the reality of Xinghua, do some preliminary discussions in this regard. 1. Developing ecological agriculture is an inevitable choice for Xinghua to build modern agriculture. As we all know, agriculture is the foundation of the national economy. No matter how much modernization you achieve, you can't lose this foundation. Xinghua is located in the abdomen of He Lixia, Jiangsu Province, with an area of 2,393 square kilometers and a population of10.55 million, including agricultural population of10.33 million. As a big agricultural city in history, its advantages and characteristics have always been obvious. Over the years, we have always given priority to solving the problems concerning agriculture, countryside and farmers, and strived to speed up agricultural development, expand agriculture and build modern agriculture. In 2002, our city was recognized as a national ecological demonstration zone and an eco-agricultural demonstration county in Jiangsu Province. We further strengthened our confidence and determination to carry forward the advantages of eco-agriculture, take the road of characteristic industries and effectively accelerate the pace of agricultural modernization. Our existing practice and the development direction of modern agriculture fully show that developing ecological agriculture is an inevitable choice for Xinghua to make continuous breakthroughs. Only by developing ecological agriculture can Xinghua's unique advantages in ecological resources be further developed. Xinghua is a famous land of fish and rice, with good ecological environment and rich agricultural resources. Flat terrain, fertile land, criss-crossing rivers and abundant rainfall, 6.5438+0.95 million mu of cultivated land is basically a "ton grain field", which can be said to be a natural rice granary. Good ecological resources are the foundation of our generation's survival. To make good use of resource advantages, we must handle the relationship between utilization and protection. In real life, there are many examples of environmental damage caused by over-exploitation of agricultural resources. Now it is proposed that ecological agriculture is the best carrier for agricultural development to follow the laws of nature and economy, and more attention should be paid to the development of ecological agriculture. The same is true from the practice of Xinghua. As far as the protection of Xinghua's ecological environment and the importance of agricultural development are concerned, water is the first. Water is the soul and foundation of Xinghua. The water area of Xinghua accounts for one third of the whole area. Therefore, in the process of building a national ecological demonstration zone, we have always focused on creating a "blue sky, clear water, green and quiet" ecological environment, putting water conservation, water control and water conservation in a prominent position, and consolidating the development foundation of ecological agriculture. Starting from this concept, we should pay attention to the transformation of the concept of agricultural structure adjustment and the exploration of ways. For example, in dealing with the relationship between developing market agriculture, benefit agriculture and ecological agriculture, we regard respecting market agriculture and benefit agriculture as the inevitable requirement of agricultural structure adjustment, but it is impossible without the protection of ecological environment. Around the market demand, what to plant, what to earn and what to plant must be added, and ecological protection is the premise. Only if it is conducive to the sustainable utilization and long-term benefits of agricultural resources is the modern agriculture we pursue. Therefore, in recent years, in the adjustment of agricultural structure, anything harmful to the ecological environment will never be allowed, even if it can achieve temporary benefits. For example, aquaculture, strictly control the waterlogging storage area and flood discharge area to ensure the needs of flood discharge and waterlogging storage and water quality purification; For those wetlands suitable for forest, we should actively develop artificial wetland forests to prevent temporary interests and damage to the overall environment. Now the whole ecological environment in Xinghua is good, and the protection of water environment is indispensable. After testing by provincial and municipal departments, the irrigation water quality and soil quality of Xinghua farmland reached AA-level environmental quality index, and the surface water quality reached the national Class III water standard. Relying on abundant water resources, Xinghua agriculture has always maintained a good advantage and has been prosperous and developed. The annual output of agricultural products such as grain, cotton and oilseed is 165438+ 10,000 tons,10.5,000 tons and 35,000 tons respectively, all of which rank among the top in China. The total amount of aquatic products has always ranked first in freshwater aquaculture in Jiangsu with 13. Only by developing ecological agriculture can we further improve the development level of Xinghua agriculture. At present, one of the important signs of agricultural development entering a new stage is that people pay more and more attention to the quality and safety of agricultural products, and green food is favored. Affected by it, in the international and domestic agricultural products market competition, green security has become a bargaining chip, and the "green barrier" has become increasingly strict. Judging from the sales situation of Xinghua agricultural products in the market, the most popular agricultural products are those with ecological brands. The strong demand for rice, red paste brand hairy crabs and Xinghua prawns in Xinghua crab field fully demonstrates the strong competitive advantage of ecological agricultural products. Rice production in Xinghua crab farm adopts rice fishing planting mode, which is pollution-free and tastes good. The planting area of the city is 6.5438+0.2 million mu, with an annual output of 60 million kilograms, and the market price is more than 20% higher than that of ordinary rice. Now farmers eat crab rice by themselves, and guests come to Xinghua to take it away. Crab rice has established a solid sales channel in big cities such as Shanghai and Guangzhou, and the market is increasingly exposed. Living facts tell us that the new round of competition in agricultural development is characterized by the quality and safety of agricultural products. In the face of new competition, we must overcome challenges, seize opportunities and improve the level of agricultural development, which will certainly accelerate the development of ecological agriculture and green food. In recent years, according to the characteristics of resources, our city has made great efforts to optimize the layout of agricultural structure, and initially formed four eco-economic zones, namely, "eastern characteristic breeding, southern ecological industry, central and western vegetables and northern aquatic products", and leading industries such as high-quality rice, special wheat, double-low rapeseed, vegetables and special waterfowl have also begun to take shape. Lying down? Put the cake on the cake? Luckily, I'm sorry, huh? Flight paralysis? More than 40 15 agricultural products brands such as "Yihe" melons and vegetables and "Chutian" rice were allowed to use the green food logo, and 20 agricultural products were identified as pollution-free agricultural products in the province. New practice, new achievements and new challenges all inspire us to persist in developing ecological agriculture as a breakthrough and strive to achieve the unity of economic, social and ecological benefits on the road of modern agriculture. Only by developing ecological agriculture can we better promote the comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development of Xinghua's economy and society. Ecological agriculture represents the development direction of modern agriculture, and its connotation requires us to pay attention to sustainable development, urban-rural integration development, industrial linkage development and all-round development of people. In recent years, according to these requirements, we have established the idea that ecological agriculture is a big agriculture and a big economy, made unremitting exploration, and strived to give full play to ecological advantages. In terms of industrial development, we put forward the combination of agriculture and industry many years ago, and in recent years, we have taken agricultural industrialization as the main direction and achieved new results. The processing industry of agricultural products such as grain, dehydrated vegetables, aquatic products, cotton and wood processing in our city has now become a pillar industry. Agricultural products processing has accounted for more than 30% of the city's industry. In the development of the tertiary industry, the agricultural products trading market plays an important role in the city's market construction, and there are more than 70 such markets in the city. This year, Daiyao grain trading market has become the largest grain trading market in China. Developing agricultural eco-tourism is a new bright spot of Xinghua tourism development in recent years. New achievements have been made in the construction of Jong Li artificial ecological forest, multi-day "Thousand Islands in Spring" and Wujindang Ecological Park. The artificial ecological forest in Lizhong Town covers an area of about 7,000 mu, which is the largest artificial wetland forest ecosystem in He Lixia. There are piles in the water, fields on the piles and unique landforms, so it is called "the hometown of a thousand islands". This year, we have further formulated a detailed plan in this regard. Ecological agriculture undoubtedly plays an important role in promoting economic development, and its influence on social progress cannot be underestimated. Whether in concept or in practice, the development of eco-agriculture will make people have a deeper understanding and inspiration for the pursuit of harmony and unity between man and nature in the field of social undertakings. Therefore, in the agricultural market, it is necessary to practice scientific development and develop ecological agriculture, not only to solve it, but also to deepen it and create greater glories. Second, Xinghua must take the road of characteristic industry to develop ecological agriculture. Starting from the reality of Xinghua, in order to realize the unity of ecological agriculture, market agriculture and benefit agriculture, and the organic combination of industrial linkage and people's all-round development, we must adhere to the development of industrialization and promote it with characteristics. Around this idea, in recent years, in the practice of developing eco-agriculture, we have mainly grasped the following four aspects: 1, strengthening the four dragons and giving play to the leading role of leading enterprises in the development of eco-agriculture. Grain, cotton, vegetables and fishing are the main products of Xinghua agriculture, and naturally they are also the main contents of Xinghua's development of ecological agriculture. In recent years, around the development of these four dragon-shaped economies, we have brought the development of ecological agriculture into the promotion of industrialization. First, cluster development, strengthen the leading vegetable industry. Xinghua shallot is a famous variety with local characteristics, with a planting area of10.2 million mu. Taking advantage of this resource feature, we vigorously supported and guided the development of dehydrated vegetable processing enterprises from the aspects of base construction, industry norms, credit support, etc., and made the processing of dehydrated leek vegetables become the main feature of agricultural industrialization in our city. At present, there are more than 0/00 dehydrated vegetable processing enterprises in the suburbs of our city, processing more than 500,000 tons of vegetables annually, and 80% of its dehydrated vegetable products are exported, making it the largest dehydrated vegetable processing and export base in China. The second is to guide competition and cultivate leading grain industries. In recent years, we have guided grain and feed processing enterprises to enter the market, accelerated technological transformation and competed for development. More than 50 rice mills in Daiyao grain market in our city have all updated their production equipment in more than a year. At present, there are more than 200 grain processing enterprises in the city, with an annual processing capacity of 800,000 tons of rice, 654.38+10,000 tons of grade flour,/kloc-0.50 million tons of feed and 654.38+10,000 tons of malt. Third, relying on resources to cultivate leading aquaculture. In recent years, Zhuhai has made full use of the scale effect of 700,000 mu of aquaculture water surface, expanded the scale of characteristic aquaculture, skillfully played ecological cards, developed aquatic product processing, and accelerated the formation of industrial clusters of processing, seedling raising and sales. A number of leading aquatic products enterprises, such as aquatic products companies, foreign trade refrigeration plants, Liaoyuan companies and Jiushoutang companies, have developed rapidly, and now the processing capacity of aquatic products in the city has reached 6.5438+0.4 million tons. The fourth is to stimulate advantages and cultivate leading textile industries. Our city not only has the advantages of cotton producing area, but also has the foundation of textile industry. In recent years, by adjusting the structure, establishing new enterprises and encouraging technological transformation, the leading textile industry has been developed and strengthened. Changxin Company and Tongyu Company have invested more than 80 million yuan in recent two years and introduced a batch of advanced equipment. Last year, the output value of the two companies was 258 million yuan. At present, the number of leading enterprises in our city has grown to 560, with 67 newly established last year and 2 provincial leading enterprises. 2. Establish ecological parks and give play to the exemplary role of science and technology in the development of ecological agriculture. Adhere to the government's initiative to guide investment, farmers' shareholding and investment development, and establish seven municipal-level agricultural ecological science and technology demonstration parks in the city with a planned construction area of 654.38+10,000 mu. Through the demonstration in the park, agricultural science and technology training and popular science propaganda will be carried out, and a large number of agricultural ecological technologies such as biological pesticides, biological bacterial fertilizers, organic fertilizers, polyculture of freshwater shrimps in ponds, management of livestock and poultry inputs and "five unifications" of epidemic prevention and elimination will be actively promoted. Chenbao Agricultural Science and Technology Demonstration Park will strengthen the characteristic industry of Hongfubao tomato, vigorously promote factory seedling raising and commercial seedling supply, improve quality, form a production scale of 10,000 mu, and further make Hongfubao brand famous both inside and outside the province. The planning of He Lixia Modern Fishery Science and Technology Park integrates factory-scale farming, special water treatment, wholesale market and fishery sightseeing. Last year, more than 654.38 billion characteristic fry were cultivated, and 500 tons of aquatic products were processed, achieving an output value of 654.38 billion yuan and a radiation breeding area of 50,000 mu. Since last year, the city's 18 livestock and poultry breeding community has risen rapidly, which has promoted the large-scale production and intensive management of pigs, poultry and herbivorous livestock and poultry, and also effectively promoted biosafety, environmental protection and food safety. There are 200,000 high-quality grass chickens breeding communities in Hainan Town, 654.38+10,000 waterfowl breeding communities in Li Zhonghe, and Taozhuang Yingtefu Company 1 10,000 pig breeding communities, which have become well-known in the local area. 3. Promote the ecological model and give play to the supporting role of benefits in the development of ecological agriculture. Good ecological planting and breeding model is an effective way to pursue the unity of ecological construction and benefit growth. To this end, we focus on complex ecological structure, three-dimensional agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery, strive to extend the ecological chain, and focus on promoting four ecological models. The first is the rice-fishing * * planting mode. This model not only raises crabs and shrimps, but also grows rice. The average benefit per mu is 400-500 yuan higher than that of simply growing grain. At the same time, pollution-free production is implemented, which avoids the use of highly toxic and residual pesticides and protects the ecological environment. At present, our city has developed paddy field stereoscopic cultivation120,000 mu, which has passed the second prize of Jiangsu Science and Technology Progress Award and been included in the key projects of the Ministry of Science and Technology. The second is the three-dimensional development model of large water surface ecology. It is mainly to carry out ecological polyculture of fish, shrimp and crab, and implement the production management of "sparse stocking and low pollution" to achieve the "double thousand" pond standard of "the yield per mu exceeds 1000 kg and the income exceeds 1000 yuan". The breeding base of Dazong Lake also implements rotation rest and rotation cultivation, ensuring one-third of the area to grow grass and maintain it every year, further improving the benefits. The breeding area of Honggao Group in our city is 6.5438+10,000 mu. The Honggao brand hairy crabs produced by this mode compete with famous brand crabs for their big size, red paste and tender meat. In June this year, 65438+ 10 held a celebration in Zhejiang, which was very popular as soon as it went public. The third is the ecological cultivation mode of lotus root aquatic vegetables. Make full use of the food chain and cultivate fish (loach, eel, etc.). ) in the lotus root (arrowhead, cress, etc. ) field, promote cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and protect the ecological environment. At present, the city's aquaculture area in this area is 60,000 mu. Fourth, the compound management mode of forest economy and forestry and animal husbandry. We insist on planting trees in roads, dams, wetlands and other places suitable for forests, especially cultivating Italian poplar industry. In the past three years, more than 45 million yuan was invested, and 0/3.4 million trees were planted. The forest coverage rate was 3.5 percentage points higher than that three years ago. In the process of developing forestry and promoting the construction of green Xinghua, we should pay attention to interplanting dry crops and vegetables under the forest and raising sheep and chickens under the forest to increase income. Now through this model, the average income per mu can be 1500-2000 yuan. 4. Establish and improve the standard quality system, and play the role of the system in promoting the development of ecological agriculture. Standard quality system is an important content and guarantee of ecological agriculture construction. In recent years, we have intensified our efforts in this field and achieved new results. First, strengthen the construction of agricultural product quality standard system. As one of the 25 counties in Jiangsu Province to promote the identification of the origin of pollution-free agricultural products as a whole, our city has reached the origin standard of pollution-free agricultural products through testing since last year, and has identified the base area of more than 700,000 mu and obtained 3 certified varieties. In the formulation and implementation of local standards for agricultural products, eight provincial and municipal agricultural standards, such as polyculture of freshwater shrimp in ponds, rice and fishery, have been formulated, and 10 agricultural standardized production bases and two municipal and above agricultural standardized demonstration bases have been established. The second is to strengthen the construction of testing system. Further clarify the test requirements and related responsibilities. Since last year, the Agriculture Bureau and Forestry and Animal Husbandry Bureau of our city have carried out normal tests on pigs and vegetables in all farmers' markets in the city. The investment in this area has also been further increased, and the detection level has been improved by purchasing advanced facilities and training personnel. The third is to strengthen the construction of management system. Strengthening industrial and commercial supervision, technical supervision, law enforcement of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, and aquatic products, and controlling the use of highly toxic and residual pesticides, fishery drugs and veterinary drugs have formed a new joint force to strengthen market supervision of agricultural products and severely crack down on the manufacture and sale of counterfeit and shoddy agricultural inputs. Three, adhere to the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development, improve the level of ecological agriculture development, the development of ecological agriculture is a huge and complex system engineering, can not be achieved overnight. At present, we have only achieved initial results in developing ecological agriculture, and there is still a long way to go in this construction task. As far as xinghua city is concerned, there are many problems that need to be solved urgently. For example, due to the low local financial resources, the agricultural investment is seriously insufficient and the infrastructure is seriously aging; The planting structure is not reasonable, the proportion of bulk agricultural products is high and the industrialization level is low; As one of the three depressions in He Lixia, it has a large water surface and abundant water resources, but its development, utilization and protection are not enough, which affects the ecological balance to some extent. In this regard, we must enhance our sense of urgency and responsibility, adhere to the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development, accelerate the pace of eco-agriculture construction, and enhance the level of eco-agriculture development. In the future work, the city will mainly carry out practical exploration from the following four aspects, and strive for breakthroughs and progress. 1. Further establish the concept of sustainable development and pay more attention to the protection of ecological environment. To develop ecological agriculture, the first thing is to protect the ecological environment. Xinghua is a water town, and water environment protection is the top priority. We should always put the protection of water resources in the first place of ecological environment protection. During the Ninth Five-Year Plan period, 2 1 industrial enterprises in our city completed the task of pollution control. Since the Tenth Five-Year Plan, we have adhered to the "environmental protection first approval authority". From June 5438 to September this year alone, 104 projects that violated the national industrial policy and caused serious pollution were rejected. In the future, we should further establish the concept of sustainable development, respect the laws of nature by scientific methods, earnestly strengthen the construction of water conservancy infrastructure, strengthen the protection of water environment, highlight the management of industrial pollution sources and agricultural inputs, strengthen environmental protection law enforcement, and constantly explore the development path of production development, affluent life and good ecology. 2. Further establish the concept of industrial development and pay more attention to the leading role of characteristic industries. Agricultural industrialization is an important force to promote the adjustment of agricultural structure and a key measure to improve the development level of ecological agriculture. In promoting the development of ecological agriculture, it is necessary to better combine the construction of characteristic industries with the construction of ecological agriculture. Develop eco-agriculture, focusing on eco-industry; With the development of eco-industry, it will promote the development of eco-agriculture and realize the interaction between eco-agriculture and eco-industry. It is necessary to promote the combination of eco-agriculture and eco-tourism, give full play to the role of ecological resources such as wetlands and lakes, actively develop agricultural leisure tourism and agricultural eco-tourism, promote the upgrading of eco-agriculture industry, and expand the connotation of eco-agriculture. 3. Further establish the concept of innovative development and pay more attention to the construction of ecological agriculture projects. In 2002, the city established a national ecological demonstration zone and focused on planning the construction of ecological agriculture. In recent years, we will focus on building nine major agricultural ecological projects, including 200,000 mu of rice and fish breeding, 200,000 mu of scallion seed sales,10.5 million mu of special three-dimensional breeding on large water surface, and 5 million waterfowl breeding. Further accelerate the development of agriculture through science and technology, promote the introduction, breeding and propagation of new varieties with high resistance, organize scientific research and collaborative promotion of major technologies, and effectively improve the scientific and technological content of ecological agriculture construction. It is necessary to speed up the transformation of agricultural science and technology innovation management mechanism, form a new operation mode of agricultural science and technology development projects with "legal person investment, industrial management and enterprise management", and promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in ecological agriculture. We will unremittingly do a good job in the construction of agricultural science and technology demonstration parks, making them a base for introducing varieties, demonstrating technologies, innovating mechanisms, attracting investment, protecting ecology and training farmers, and giving full play to their radiation-driven role. 4. Further establish the concept of common development and pay more attention to government guidance, market operation and mass participation. The development of ecological agriculture needs the attention of the whole society and forms a joint force of development. Give full play to the role of government guidance and departmental services, increase support and investment in the development of eco-agriculture, increase publicity and promotion of eco-agriculture through multiple channels and forms, let the concept of eco-agriculture enter thousands of households, and let the planting and breeding models and technologies of eco-agriculture be delivered to thousands of households. According to the requirements of market competition, we should pay more attention to the guiding role of market mechanism, and make the development of ecological agriculture and the production of high-quality, high-yield, efficient and safe agricultural products become farmers' first choice through high quality and good price. It is necessary to form a stronger atmosphere in the whole society, so that ecological agricultural products can be widely recognized by the general public, and relevant market supervision should be strengthened to promote the healthy development of ecological agriculture.
