I. Taking the Advancement of Comprehensive Rural Revitalization as the Overall Focus of the Work Concerning Agriculture, Rural Areas, and Farmers on the New Journey of the New Era

一、把推进乡村全面振兴作为新时代新征程“三农”工作的总抓手

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, “To advance Chinese-path modernization, we must unremittingly consolidate the agricultural foundation and advance comprehensive rural revitalization,” and “anchor the goal of building a strong agricultural country and take the advancement of comprehensive rural revitalization as the overall focus of the work concerning agriculture, rural areas, and farmers on the new journey of the New Era.” This important exposition profoundly elaborates on the historical positioning of rural revitalization on the new journey, further clarifies the strategic positioning of comprehensive rural revitalization in the process of comprehensively advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-path modernization, and enriches and develops the strategic connotation of rural revitalization in the great cause of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation. To implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions, it is necessary to effectively enhance the sense of urgency and responsibility for doing a good job in the work concerning agriculture, rural areas, and farmers on the new journey of the New Era, to respond to the uncertainty of the external environment with the certainty of domestic stable production and supply assurance, and to provide support for advancing Chinese-path modernization by continuously strengthening the agricultural “fundamental base.”

习近平总书记指出,“推进中国式现代化,必须坚持不懈夯实农业基础,推进乡村全面振兴”,“锚定建设农业强国目标,把推进乡村全面振兴作为新时代新征程‘三农’工作的总抓手”。这一重要论述深刻阐述了新征程上乡村振兴的历史方位,进一步明确了乡村全面振兴在以中国式现代化全面推进中华民族伟大复兴进程中的战略定位,丰富发展了乡村振兴在强国建设、民族复兴伟业中的战略内涵。贯彻落实习近平总书记重要指示精神,要切实增强做好新时代新征程“三农”工作的紧迫感责任感,以国内稳产保供的确定性应对外部环境的不确定性,以不断强化农业“基本盘”为推进中国式现代化提供支撑。

Scientifically analyze the achievements and challenges of the work concerning agriculture, rural areas, and farmers on the new journey of the New Era. On the one hand, over the past year, the supply of grain and important agricultural products in our country has been stable, grain production capacity has increased, the bottom line of preventing a large-scale return to poverty has been held, farmers’ incomes have grown relatively rapidly, and the construction of livable, workable, and beautiful villages has been steadily advanced, achieving a good start in the work concerning agriculture, rural areas, and farmers on the new journey. On the other hand, whether viewed from the perspective of advancing agricultural and rural modernization or from the perspective of increasing farmers’ incomes and prosperity, the work concerning agriculture, rural areas, and farmers faces many new difficulties and challenges. For example, the rising cost of domestic agricultural production, increased market uncertainty and volatility, faster changes in people’s demands for agricultural products, and increased uncertainty in foreign trade all bring certain impacts and constraints to agricultural production and agricultural and rural development.

科学分析新时代新征程“三农”工作的成效与挑战。一方面,过去一年,我国粮食和重要农产品的供给稳定,粮食产能提升,守住了不发生规模性返贫的底线,农民收入较快增长,宜居宜业和美乡村稳步推进,新征程“三农”工作实现良好开局。另一方面,无论是从推进农业、农村现代化看,还是从农民增收致富看,“三农”工作面临许多新困难新挑战。比如,国内农业生产成本越来越高,市场不确定性、波动性增强,人民生活对于农产品的要求变化加快,对外贸易的不确定性增加,都给农业生产、农业农村发展带来一些影响和制约。

Accurately grasp the favorable conditions for doing a good job in the work concerning agriculture, rural areas, and farmers on the new journey of the New Era. The most fundamental favorable condition is the consistent high attention and strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on the work concerning agriculture, rural areas, and farmers provide ideological guidance and fundamental guidance for advancing comprehensive rural revitalization. The most crucial favorable condition is that, with the continuous advancement of Chinese-path modernization, the enhancement of our country’s comprehensive national strength, breakthroughs in scientific and technological innovation, the development of cities and non-agricultural industries, and the leveraging of talent advantages will inject a continuous and powerful driving force for advancing comprehensive rural revitalization. The most basic favorable condition is the huge development potential contained in agriculture and rural areas, including the vast rural domestic demand market, broad space for entrepreneurship and innovation, multiple functions of rural areas, multiple values of rural areas, and the re-exploration of excellent traditional farming culture—all of which are valuable assets for promoting Chinese-path agricultural and rural modernization. The most dynamic favorable condition is the valuable experience we have explored and accumulated in overcoming difficulties and challenges and accelerating development. In particular, the experience of the “Thousand Village Demonstration, Ten Thousand Village Renovation” project [1]1 The “Thousand Village Demonstration, Ten Thousand Village Renovation” project (千万工程) is a rural environmental improvement initiative launched by Xi Jinping in 2003 while he was Party secretary of Zhejiang Province, which later became a national model for rural revitalization., formed under General Secretary Xi Jinping’s personal decision-making, deployment, and promotion, provides rich theoretical guidance and practical reference for us to solve the “three rural” issues and coordinate the relationship between urban and rural areas.

准确把握做好新时代新征程“三农”工作的有利条件。最根本的有利条件,是以习近平同志为核心的党中央一以贯之的高度重视和坚强领导。习近平总书记关于“三农”工作的重要论述,为推进乡村全面振兴提供了思想指引和根本遵循。最关键的有利条件,是随着中国式现代化的不断推进,我国综合国力的提升、科技创新的突破、城市和非农产业的发展、人才优势的发挥等,将为推进乡村全面振兴注入源源不断的强大引领力和带动力。最基础的有利条件,是农业农村蕴藏的巨大发展潜能,巨大的农村内需市场、广阔创业创新空间、乡村多种功能、乡村多重价值、优秀传统农耕文化的再发掘等,都是推动中国式农业农村现代化的宝贵财富。最具活力的有利条件,是我们在克服困难挑战、加快发展方面探索积累了许多宝贵经验。尤其是习近平总书记亲自决策、亲自部署、亲自推动形成的“千万工程”经验,为我们解决好“三农”问题、统筹处理好城乡关系提供了丰富的理论指引和实践借鉴。

II. Learning and Applying the Experience of the “Thousand Village Demonstration, Ten Thousand Village Renovation” Project

二、学习运用好“千万工程”经验

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “Learn and apply the experience of the ‘Thousand Village Demonstration, Ten Thousand Village Renovation’ project, adapt measures to local conditions, implement policies by category, proceed step by step, persevere for lasting results, and concentrate efforts to accomplish a number of practical tasks that the masses can feel and benefit from.” General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions profoundly elaborate on the principles and methods of learning and applying the experience of the “Thousand Village Demonstration, Ten Thousand Village Renovation” project, and point out the goals and pathways for learning and applying this experience.

习近平总书记强调:“学习运用‘千万工程’经验,因地制宜、分类施策,循序渐进、久久为功,集中力量抓好办成一批群众可感可及的实事。”习近平总书记的重要指示深刻阐述了学习运用“千万工程”经验的原则及方法,指明了学习运用“千万工程”经验的目标及途径。

The “Thousand Village Demonstration, Ten Thousand Village Renovation” project, namely the “Thousand Village Demonstration, Ten Thousand Village Renovation” project, is a rural renovation project that General Secretary Xi Jinping personally planned and promoted during his work in Zhejiang Province, and it is also an ecological and people-benefiting project that he has always cared about. The “Thousand Village Demonstration, Ten Thousand Village Renovation” project has created thousands of beautiful villages, benefited thousands of farmers, shaped a practical model of integrated urban-rural development, depicted a vivid picture of beautiful villages, and created successful experiences and practical examples for advancing comprehensive rural revitalization. The experience of the “Thousand Village Demonstration, Ten Thousand Village Renovation” project is a vivid textbook for promoting the in-depth study and implementation of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on the work concerning agriculture, rural areas, and farmers. The key to learning and applying this experience is to grasp its essence, core ideas, and methods, and creatively adapt it in light of local conditions.

“千万工程”,即“千村示范、万村整治”工程,是习近平总书记在浙江工作时亲自谋划、推动的乡村整治工程,也是他始终关心牵挂的生态富民工程。“千万工程”造就了万千美丽乡村,造福了万千农民群众,塑造了城乡融合发展的实践样板,描画了美丽乡村的生动图景,创造了推进乡村全面振兴的成功经验和实践范例。“千万工程”经验是推动学习贯彻习近平总书记关于“三农”工作重要论述走深走实的生动教材,学习运用这一经验最关键的是要把握好精髓要义、理念方法,并结合各地实际创造性转化。

Fully embody the value orientation of putting the people first and achieving shared development through joint contribution. In the process of advancing comprehensive rural revitalization, it is necessary to always firmly stand on the people’s side, strengthen the sense of purpose, always adhere to development for the people, development relying on the people, and development achievements shared by the people, always adhere to the principle of taking farmers as the main body, take the people’s aspirations and expectations as the starting point and落脚点 [2]2 落脚点 (luòjiǎo diǎn) is a Chinese term meaning “foothold” or “ultimate goal,” often used in Party discourse to indicate the final purpose or beneficiary of policy., and start work by addressing the issues that the masses reflect most strongly.

充分体现人民至上、共建共享的价值取向。在推进乡村全面振兴过程中,必须始终站稳人民立场、强化宗旨意识,始终坚持发展为了人民、发展依靠人民、发展成果由人民共享,始终坚持农民主体、把群众所思所盼作为出发点和落脚点,从解决群众反映最强烈的问题着手开展工作。

Adhere to a systematic approach and coordinated advancement to enhance the systematic, holistic, and synergistic nature of the work. Coordinate the advancement of beautiful villages, cultural villages, well-governed villages, common prosperity villages, and digital villages; coordinate the advancement of rural planning, construction, management, operation, and services; coordinate the advancement of integrated urban-rural development; coordinate the promotion of coordinated development of material civilization and cultural-ethical progress; fully utilize methods such as using point-to-area promotion, demonstration and leadership, and connecting lines into areas to advance all tasks of comprehensive rural revitalization in a forceful and orderly manner.

坚持系统观念、统筹推进,增强工作的系统性、整体性、协同性。统筹推进美丽乡村、人文乡村、善治乡村、共富乡村、数字乡村,统筹推进乡村规划、建设、管理、经营、服务,统筹推进城乡融合发展,统筹推动物质文明和精神文明协调发展,充分运用以点带面、示范引领、连线成片,有力有序推进乡村全面振兴各项工作。

Always grasp the scientific method of “seeking truth from facts and adapting measures to local conditions.” In the process of advancing comprehensive rural revitalization, it is necessary to adhere to proceeding from reality, clarify construction priorities based on objective conditions such as locational characteristics, natural conditions, economic base, resource advantages, and cultural traditions, gradually expand the scope of construction, promote different types of villages to develop according to their respective strengths, fully reflect differentiated development, enable every village to find its own “optimal solution,” allowing each to showcase its own beauty while contributing to the beauty of all, and create a modern version of the “Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains” [3]3 “Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains” (富春山居图) is a famous Chinese landscape painting from the Yuan Dynasty; here it is used metaphorically to describe an ideal, locally distinctive rural landscape. with local characteristics.

始终把握好“实事求是、因地制宜”的科学方法。在推进乡村全面振兴过程中,必须坚持从实际出发,根据区位特征、自然条件、经济基础、资源优势、文化传统等客观条件,明确建设重点,逐步拓展建设领域,推动各种类型乡村各展其长,充分体现差异化发展,让每一个乡村都找到适合自己的“最优解”,各美其美、美美与共,打造具有本地特色的现代版“富春山居图”。

III. Holding the Bottom Lines of Ensuring Food Security and Preventing a Large-Scale Return to Poverty, and Strengthening the Dual Drive of Science and Technology and Reform

三、守住确保粮食安全、不发生规模性返贫的底线,强化科技和改革双轮驱动

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that it is necessary to fully implement the joint responsibility of the Party and government for food security, and insist on making efforts in both stabilizing the area and increasing per-unit yield. It is necessary to ensure that no large-scale return to poverty occurs, do a good job in monitoring to prevent the return to poverty, implement assistance measures, enhance endogenous momentum, and continuously consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation. Ensuring the stable and safe supply of grain and important agricultural products has always been the top priority in building a strong agricultural country, and consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation is the bottom-line task for comprehensively advancing rural revitalization.

习近平总书记强调,要全面落实粮食安全党政同责,坚持稳面积、增单产两手发力。要确保不发生规模性返贫,抓好防止返贫监测,落实帮扶措施,增强内生动力,持续巩固拓展脱贫攻坚成果。保障粮食和重要农产品稳定安全供给始终是建设农业强国的头等大事,巩固拓展脱贫攻坚成果是全面推进乡村振兴的底线任务。

Ensuring national food security and preventing a large-scale return to poverty are the foundation and bottom line of comprehensive rural revitalization. Food concerns national stability and the security of economic and social development; it cannot be treated as an ordinary commodity, and there is no room for error. Winning the battle against poverty is one of the most iconic major achievements of the New Era decade. Whether the achievements of poverty alleviation can be consolidated and expanded directly affects the production and living standards of nearly 100 million people who have been lifted out of poverty, and this must never be relaxed. Achieving the two “ensures” secures the “fundamental base” of agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, providing sufficient confidence for the stable development of the overall economic and social situation. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions elucidate the strategic system and specific pathways for achieving the two “ensures.”

确保国家粮食安全、确保不发生规模性返贫,是乡村全面振兴的基础和底线。粮食关乎国家稳定、经济社会发展安全,不能以普通商品来对待,更不容有失;打赢脱贫攻坚战是新时代十年最具标志性的重大成就之一,脱贫攻坚成果能否巩固好、拓展好,直接关系近1亿脱贫群众的生产生活水平,须臾不可放松。实现两个“确保”,就守好了“三农”基本盘,经济社会全局稳定发展才有充足底气。习近平总书记的重要指示阐明了实现两个“确保”的战略体系和具体路径。

Achieving the two “ensures” is a complex systemic project requiring a package of strategic measures to be advanced in an integrated manner. To ensure national food security, first, efforts must focus on improving institutions and mechanisms: Party committees and governments at all levels must shoulder the “great affairs of the state” concerning food security, fully implement the dual responsibility system for food security by both Party and government, and explore the establishment of inter-provincial horizontal interest compensation mechanisms between grain-producing and grain-consuming regions. Second, efforts must focus on enhancing production capacity: stabilize the area sown for grain, promote large-scale per-unit yield enhancement actions, integrate and extend good farmland, good seeds, good machinery, good methods, and agricultural machinery and agronomic techniques, and consolidate the achievements in expanding soybean cultivation; strengthen the protection and construction of arable land, and improve the “three-in-one” protection system for arable land quantity, quality, and ecology. Third, efforts must focus on optimizing supply: establish a big agriculture perspective and a big food perspective, develop agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fisheries simultaneously, steadily expand the space for agricultural production, and build a diversified food supply system. Fourth, efforts must focus on post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, comprehensively enhancing agricultural disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief capabilities. To ensure that no large-scale return to poverty occurs, it is necessary to improve the dynamic monitoring and precise assistance mechanisms for preventing a return to poverty, carry out dynamic monitoring and assistance work well, and make sufficient efforts to achieve tangible results in enhancing the endogenous momentum of poverty-alleviated areas and poverty-alleviated people. Increase the income of poverty-alleviated people through multiple channels, and stimulate their ambition and confidence to rely on their own efforts for development through various forms. Promptly establish and improve normalized assistance mechanisms for the rural low-income population and underdeveloped areas, include all eligible targets after the transition period into normalized assistance, and establish and improve normalized assistance mechanisms and policy systems for underdeveloped areas.

实现两个“确保”是复杂的系统工程,需要采取一揽子战略措施一体化推进。确保国家粮食安全,一要着力完善体制机制,各级党委和政府要把粮食安全“国之大者”扛在肩上,全面落实粮食安全党政同责,探索建立粮食产销区省际横向利益补偿机制。二要着力提升产能,稳定粮食播种面积,推动大面积单产提升行动,集成推广良田良种、良机良法、农机农艺技术,巩固大豆扩种成果;加强耕地保护和建设,健全耕地数量、质量、生态“三位一体”保护制度体系。三要着力优化供给,树立大农业观、大食物观,农林牧渔并举,稳步拓展农业生产空间,构建多元化食物供给体系。四要抓好灾后恢复重建,全面提升农业防灾减灾救灾能力。确保不发生规模性返贫,要健全防止返贫动态监测和精准帮扶机制,做好动态监测和帮扶工作,在增强脱贫地区和脱贫群众内生动力上下足功夫、见到实效。多渠道提高脱贫群众收入,多形式激发脱贫群众依靠自身力量发展的志气和心气。抓紧建立健全农村低收入人口和欠发达地区常态化帮扶机制,将过渡期后符合条件的对象全部纳入常态化帮扶,建立健全欠发达地区常态化帮扶机制和政策体系。

To advance comprehensive rural revitalization and accelerate the building of an agricultural powerhouse, the sharp tool lies in science and technology, and the key depends on reform. Practice has proven that only by relying on the dual-wheel drive of science and technology and reform can we fully activate rural resource elements, fully mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of the vast number of farmers, and promote the effective improvement in quality and reasonable growth in quantity of agricultural and rural development. In terms of the technology drive, the general approach is to support the high-level development of agriculture and rural areas with high-level scientific and technological innovation. Strengthen systematic scientific research, carry out basic, frontier, and strategic scientific and technological breakthroughs, especially accelerate the resolution of industrial scientific and technological difficulties, and grasp the initiative in agricultural science and technology development. Adhere to science and technology serving the development of agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, comprehensively support stable agricultural production and supply, as well as rural development, construction, and governance, gradually establish an agricultural and rural scientific and technological innovation system, and organize the tackling of key scientific and technological problems more efficiently. Deepen institutional and mechanism reforms to enhance the overall efficiency of scientific and technological innovation. In terms of the reform drive, the general approach is to firmly grasp the timing, intensity, and effectiveness of promoting reform, adhere to making progress while maintaining stability, promoting stability through progress, and establishing the new before abolishing the old, and ensure the implementation of key tasks in rural reform to achieve tangible results. Consolidate and improve the basic rural management system, especially by building a modern agricultural management system and promoting the organic integration of smallholder farmers with modern agricultural development. Deepen the reform of the rural collective property rights system, especially by vigorously developing and strengthening the new type of rural collective economy. Steadily and prudently advance the reform of the rural homestead system, focusing on ensuring housing, controlling unauthorized construction, and revitalizing idle land. Improve the institutional mechanisms for integrated urban-rural development, especially by promoting the integrated construction, management, and interconnection of urban and rural public infrastructure, and the integrated improvement and high-quality sharing of basic urban and rural public services. Improve the rural governance system, adhere to a systematic perspective, ensure that the “two wheels” of science and technology and reform operate smoothly, and that science and technology and reform are closely coordinated and advanced synergistically, ensuring the continuous advancement of comprehensive rural revitalization and the steady and long-term progress of agricultural and rural modernization.

推进乡村全面振兴、加快建设农业强国,利器在科技,关键靠改革。实践证明,唯有依靠科技与改革双轮驱动,才能全面激活乡村资源要素,充分调动广大农民的积极性、主动性和创造性,推动农业农村发展实现质的有效提升和量的合理增长。在科技驱动方面,总的是要以高水平的科技创新支撑农业农村的高水平发展。加强体系化科研,开展基础性、前沿性、战略性的科技攻关,特别是加快破解产业科技难题,把握农业科技发展的主动权。坚持科技服务“三农”发展,全面支撑农业稳产保供和乡村发展建设治理,逐步建立农业农村科技创新体系,更高效组织科技难题攻关。深化体制机制改革,提升科技创新整体效能。在改革驱动方面,总的是要坚持把握好推动改革的时度效,坚持稳中求进、以进促稳、先立后破,推动农村改革重点任务落地见效。巩固和完善农村基本经营制度,特别是要构建现代农业经营体系,促进小农户与现代农业发展有机衔接。深化农村集体产权制度改革,特别是要大力发展壮大新型农村集体经济。稳慎推进农村宅基地制度改革,聚焦保障居住、管住乱建、盘活闲置。健全城乡融合发展体制机制,特别是要推进城乡公共基础设施一体建管、互联互通,城乡基本公共服务一体提升、优质共享。完善乡村治理体系,坚持系统观念,让科技和改革“两个轮子”都能运转流畅,科技与改革紧密配合、协同推进,确保乡村全面振兴不断推进、农业农村现代化行稳致远。

IV. Concentrate Efforts on Raising the Levels of Rural Industry Development, Rural Construction, and Rural Governance, and Strengthen Measures to Increase Farmers’ Incomes

四、聚力提升乡村产业发展、乡村建设和乡村治理水平,强化农民增收举措

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “We must raise the levels of rural industry development, rural construction, and rural governance, strengthen measures to increase farmers’ incomes, and continuously achieve substantive progress and phased results in advancing comprehensive rural revitalization.” The raising of the three “levels” constitutes both the overall framework and key tasks for advancing comprehensive rural revitalization and clarifies the goals and requirements for building a beautiful and harmonious countryside that is desirable to live and work in. To implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions, we must place greater emphasis on promoting industrial prosperity, creating more employment opportunities, and helping farmers continuously increase their incomes, advance rural construction in a solid and orderly manner, and improve the rural governance system. This points out the direction and clarifies the path for promoting rural industry development, rural construction, and governance in the new era and new journey.

习近平总书记指出:“要提升乡村产业发展水平、乡村建设水平、乡村治理水平,强化农民增收举措,推进乡村全面振兴不断取得实质性进展、阶段性成果。”三个“水平”的提升,既是推进乡村全面振兴的总体框架和重点任务,也明确了建设宜居宜业和美乡村的目标要求。贯彻落实习近平总书记的重要指示,要把促进产业兴旺、创造更多就业岗位、帮助农民持续增收放在更加突出的位置,扎实有序推进乡村建设,完善乡村治理体系。这为新时代新征程促进乡村产业发展、乡村建设和治理指明了前进方向,明确了实现路径。

Strive to raise the level of rural industry development. Identify the direction and path of industrial development, adhere to the principle of proceeding from reality and adapting measures to local conditions, highlight the requirement of “precision and pragmatism,” do a good job on the “local specialties” article, and promote the strengthening, extension, and supplementation of rural industrial chains; expand the multiple functions of agriculture, and promote the improvement of quality and efficiency of rural industries; integrate the concept of green ecology throughout the entire process of rural industry development, and follow the path of sustainable development.

Fully mobilize the enthusiasm of enterprises for their own transformation and upgrading, effectively leverage the guiding and promoting role of the government, strive to promote the optimization and upgrading of the agricultural product processing industry, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of processing and circulation. Strengthen classified guidance and promote the high-quality development of assistance industries. Improve the mechanism linking agriculture with farmers’ interests, and strengthen measures to increase farmers’ incomes.

着力推动乡村产业发展水平提升。找准产业发展方向和路径,坚持从实际出发、因地制宜原则,突出“精准务实”要求,做好“土特产”文章,推动乡村产业强链延链补链;拓展农业多种功能,推动乡村产业提质增效;把绿色生态理念贯穿乡村产业发展全过程,走可持续发展之路。建强优势特色产业集群、现代农业产业园、农业产业强镇等平台载体,以平台载体的提档升级促进产业提质增效。充分调动企业自身改造更新的积极性,有效发挥政府引导推动作用,着力推动农产品加工业优化升级,提高加工流通效率和效益。强化分类指导,推进帮扶产业高质量发展。完善联农带农机制,强化农民增收举措。

Strive to raise the level of rural construction.

着力推动乡村治理水平提升。推进抓党建促乡村振兴,建好建强农村基层党组织,优化驻村第一书记和工作队选派管理。繁荣发展乡村文化,加强农村精神文明建设。推进农村移风易俗,建设平安乡村。

V. Strengthen the Party’s Overall Leadership over Work Concerning Agriculture, Rural Areas, and Farmers

五、加强党对“三农”工作的全面领导

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “Party committees and governments at all levels must unswervingly implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee on work concerning agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, adhere to prioritizing the development of agriculture and rural areas, adhere to integrated urban-rural development, shoulder the responsibility and grasp it firmly in hand, carry out creative work in light of actual conditions, effectively advance comprehensive rural revitalization, and better advance Chinese-path modernization by accelerating agricultural and rural modernization.” In the new era and new journey, the tasks of work concerning agriculture, rural areas, and farmers are heavier and the requirements are higher. It is necessary to strengthen the Party’s overall leadership over work concerning agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, to provide a fundamental guarantee for effectively advancing comprehensive rural revitalization.

习近平总书记强调:“各级党委和政府要坚定不移贯彻落实党中央关于‘三农’工作的决策部署,坚持农业农村优先发展,坚持城乡融合发展,把责任扛在肩上、抓在手上,结合实际创造性开展工作,有力有效推进乡村全面振兴,以加快农业农村现代化更好推进中国式现代化建设。”新时代新征程,“三农”工作任务更重、要求更高,必须加强党对“三农”工作的全面领导,为有力有效推进乡村全面振兴提供根本保障。

Improve the institutional mechanisms for the Party’s leadership over rural work. The key to advancing comprehensive rural revitalization and accelerating the building of an agricultural powerhouse lies in the Party. The Party’s management of rural work is a fine tradition of our Party. History and reality have fully proven that the Party’s leadership is the fundamental guarantee for doing a good job in work concerning agriculture, rural areas, and farmers. We must adhere to making the resolution of issues concerning agriculture, rural areas, and farmers the top priority of the entire Party’s work, adhere to prioritizing the development of agriculture and rural areas, reform and improve the institutional mechanisms for work concerning agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, and fully implement the responsibility system for rural revitalization. Strengthen the construction of the Party committee system for rural work, and coordinate and advance rural revitalization.

健全党领导农村工作的体制机制。推进乡村全面振兴、加快建设农业强国,关键在党。党管农村工作,是我们党的优良传统。历史和现实充分证明,党的领导是做好“三农”工作的根本保证。必须坚持把解决好“三农”问题作为全党工作的重中之重,坚持农业农村优先发展,改革完善“三农”工作体制机制,全面落实乡村振兴责任制。加强党委农村工作体系建设,统筹推进乡村振兴。

Improve the rural revitalization working mechanism of central coordination, provincial overall responsibility, and implementation by cities, counties, and townships, and implement and refine the requirements for secretaries at five levels to grasp rural revitalization. [4]4 “Secretaries at five levels” refers to the Party secretaries at the provincial, prefectural/city, county, township, and village levels, who are responsible for leading rural revitalization efforts within their respective jurisdictions. Leading cadres of Party and government at all levels must establish a correct outlook on political performance, implement the system of “going down to the grassroots at four levels,” [5]5 The “system of ‘going down to the grassroots at four levels’” (四下基层) is a working method originating from Fujian Province, referring to the practice of propaganda and policy implementation going down to the grassroots, investigation and research going down to the grassroots, receiving letters and visits going down to the grassroots, and on-site work going down to the grassroots. vigorously promote investigation and research, improve working methods and styles, conform to the laws of nature, economic laws, and social development laws, and grasp the timing, intensity, and effectiveness of work. At the same time, attention should be paid to optimizing various types of agricultural-related supervision, inspection, and assessment.

健全中央统筹、省负总责、市县乡抓落实的乡村振兴工作机制,落实落细五级书记抓乡村振兴要求。各级党政领导干部要树立正确的政绩观,落实“四下基层”制度,大兴调查研究,改进工作方式方法,加强作风建设,顺应自然规律、经济规律、社会发展规律,把握好工作时度效。同时,应注意优化各类涉农督查检查考核。

By enhancing organizational capacity to consolidate revitalization efforts, we must broadly mobilize forces from all sides. Implement the responsibility system for rural revitalization, fully leverage the role of grassroots Party organizations as fighting fortresses, strengthen rural reform and innovation, and improve the diversified investment mechanism for rural revitalization. Expand the rural talent team, comprehensively raise the overall quality of farmers, and promptly enhance the capability and competence of cadres working on agriculture, rural areas, and farmers.
