In a sweeping new initiative, the Chinese mainland has unveiled an ambitious plan for the 2024-2035 period aimed at boosting agricultural strength and transforming rural areas into modern, vibrant communities. Issued by the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council, the strategy sets a major milestone with significant progress targeted by 2027 and full modernization envisioned by 2035.
The plan focuses on ensuring a stable and reliable food supply, fostering self-reliance through scientific and technological innovation, and constructing robust infrastructure. It also emphasizes enhancing the modern agricultural business system by integrating smallholder farmers and upgrading the entire industry chain using cutting-edge technology.
Key to this initiative is the all-encompassing rural revitalization effort. By promoting beautiful countryside development, improving farmers’ livelihoods, and achieving full urban-rural integration, the strategy seeks to narrow the gap between urban centers and rural regions. Experts believe that this comprehensive approach will set a global example in sustainable growth and infrastructural upgrade.
Looking ahead to the mid-century goal of full agricultural modernization, the plan not only strengthens global competitiveness in agriculture but also inspires young global citizens, tech enthusiasts, thought leaders, and digital nomads by showcasing how transformative policy can drive real-world impact and innovation.
