Dr. Farm Empowers Urban Agriculture Development
In late spring, I walked into Dr. Lishi Strawberry Farm in Song Jia Cun, Mancheng District, and entered the greenhouse. Rows of ripe fruits were shiny and exciting.
"We have adopted two breeding methods, and cultivated new strawberry planting resources with strong stress resistance, relatively hard peel, storage and transportation resistance and good taste through hybridization technology. So far, more than 2 better strains have been bred." Associate Professor of Hebei Agricultural University introduced that the doctoral farm team led by him screened out new strawberry varieties suitable for solar greenhouse cultivation through strawberry variety hybridization, which can not only solve the problem of extended service of strawberry varieties in Mancheng District, but also change the status quo that foreign varieties have occupied China's strawberry market for a long time.
Build a "doctor farm" to attract wisdom and promote urban agriculture to face the future. In Baoding, 51 doctor farms like this have signed contracts and introduced 263 doctors, covering many fields such as improved seed breeding, facility agriculture, seedlings and flowers, smart farms, agricultural products processing, Chinese herbal medicines and so on.
With a view to accelerating the transformation and upgrading of traditional agriculture to urban modern agriculture, Baoding relies on high-level talents such as doctors or doctor teams, focusing on new varieties, new technologies, new processes, new equipment and new products, creating a gathering place for agricultural scientific and technological innovation elements, a demonstration park for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and a leading area for the development of characteristic industries, formulating the Implementation Plan for the Construction of Doctor Farms and the Management Measures for the Construction of Doctor Farms, and issuing land use indicators, examination and approval agents, financial support and so on.
doctor farm adheres to the model of "government promotion+market leading", "scientific and technological innovation+high-end leading" and "opening to the outside world+institutional innovation", and follows the development ideas of "overall promotion, demonstration first" and "one production is delayed, the second production is connected at both ends, and the third production is high-end", and the "agriculture+"industrial chain is the core, and the platform, science and technology, investment and other factors are gathered.
51 doctor farms have been established, including 21 for tackling key scientific problems, 27 for transforming achievements and 3 for incubating enterprises. The total scale of doctor farms is 129,5 mu, with an investment of 1.558 billion yuan, forming 61 technical standards (regulations), cultivating and introducing 164 new varieties, popularizing 8 advanced and applicable technologies, applying for 14 patents, and training a total of 38, person-times, which has driven business entities.
this year, Baoding will continue to promote the construction of doctor farms, promote industrial transformation and upgrading with scientific and technological empowerment, stimulate the vitality of agricultural and rural development with reform and innovation, and embark on a development path of urban modern agriculture with Baoding characteristics, and strive to reach 1 doctor farms by the end of this year.
Focusing on the ten actions of food security tamping, facility agriculture breakthrough, dairy industry revitalization leap, the rise of central kitchen prefabricated vegetables, the take-off of leading enterprises, digital agriculture demonstration, scientific and technological innovation empowerment, livable and suitable business, rural governance innovation, and rural reform deepening, the doctor farm will lead and promote the development of agricultural science parks at county level, agricultural industrial parks at township level, and agricultural characteristic parks at village level, with strong emphasis on leading enterprises, supplementing chains and promoting business formats, so as to enhance agricultural industrialization.
implement the trinity development strategy of "regional brand, enterprise brand and product brand", and give priority to the free use of "Zhili rural" regional public brand in Doctor Farm; Encourage doctor farms to establish their own brands according to "different varieties, different characteristics, different markets and different needs", support doctor farms to actively participate in exhibitions, supermarkets and e-commerce sales, and strive to create "well-known brands" with great influence, strong driving force and wide market. Guide and encourage doctoral farms to formulate green production standards and technical regulations, and support the certification of geographical indications for green food, organic food and agricultural products.
Give play to the leading role of science and technology in agricultural innovation, accumulate a number of agricultural scientific and technological talents and innovative talents, and cultivate new agricultural business entities and agricultural industrialization consortia.
The government, scientific research institutes, enterprises (parks), post stations, family farms and village collective economic organizations will jointly carry out scientific and technological cooperation to tackle key problems, focusing on accelerating the research and development integration of green, high-quality and efficient technologies for vegetables, livestock and fruits, strengthening the research and promotion of agricultural machinery and equipment in protected agriculture and hilly areas, and carrying out major key technologies such as agricultural product processing, comprehensive utilization of by-products and food processing; Provide information, science and technology, intelligence and talent support in breeding of animal and plant varieties, promotion of green organic food standards and water-saving irrigation, prevention and control of major animal and plant diseases, brand building of agricultural products, Internet of Things and e-commerce.
