Analysis of the characteristics of connotation evolution of agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics in the 70 years since the founding of New China

Abstract

PurposeWith the development of social productive forces and the advancement of agricultural practices since the founding of New China, the connotation of agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics has undergone a process from formation to continuous expansion and deepening.Design/methodology/approachIts evolution can be roughly divided into four stages: the exploration stage, the formation stage, the establishment stage and the deepening stage. The historical evolution of the connotation of agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics demonstrates four typical characteristics, namely increasingly scientific logical premise, continuously diversified orientations, increasingly improved core contents and progressively maturing strategies of development.FindingsThe achievements of agricultural modernization have laid a solid foundation for China's industrial modernization and the rapid development of the national economy. Meanwhile, the authors have identified through practical exploration a path of agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics. In recent years, academic research on the connotation of agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics has gradually heated up, and relevant achievements have emerged constantly.Originality/valueThe Communist Party of China (hereinafter “CPC”) has placed considerable emphasis on agricultural issues and has been committed to promoting agricultural modernization since the founding of New China. Through long-term persistence and unremitting efforts, China has made remarkable achievements in agricultural development: significantly improved agricultural production conditions and agricultural output capacity, constantly optimized agricultural structure and steadily increased the income of farmers.

Evolution of Crop Planting Structure in Traditional Agricultural Areas and Its Influence Factors: A Case Study in Alar Reclamation

“…It has been that there are significant differences in regional structural types and that the cultivation structure of the main grain-growing areas is gradually diversifying [15][16][17][18]. In China, the irregular development of the CPS has become an important factor hindering national food security and regulating the structure of the agricultural industry [19], and the main contradiction in Chinese agriculture has shifted from a lack of overall production to structural contradictions [20]. This is mainly due to China's market economy (political factors) and natural environmental disturbances (natural factors) [21].…”

Does government policy matter in the digital transformation of farmers’ cooperatives?—A tripartite evolutionary game analysis

“…Agricultural modernization is an important support for rural revitalization (Qu et al, 2018;Fengan, 2020;Chen et al, 2022). Facing the challenges of uncertain factors such as public health emergencies and the external political environment, promoting agricultural modernization requires seeking new momentum for quality change, efficiency change, and power change (Jiang et al, 2020;Han and Lin, 2021). The limited nature of agricultural resources, the differences in regional factor endowments, and the short-term stability of the endowment structure determine that agricultural modernization cannot rely solely on OPEN ACCESS EDITED BY Zheng et al 10.3389/fsufs.2024.1398319 Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems 02 frontiersin.org resource-factor-intensive inputs, and that it is necessary to explore new mechanisms for improving agricultural production efficiency in theoretical research and policy practice.…”

Developing Ecological Agricultural Engineering to Promote Rural Revitalization in China

“…In modern history, due to the rise and vigorous development of the industrial revolution in Western countries, China began to lag behind the West. After the founding of New China, the process of modernization and national rejuvenation has been started, of which rural construction is a very important aspect [2] [3]. It is one of the strategic objectives for the Chinese government that rural areas become prosperous again and rural residents enjoy the achievements of modernization through development.…”
