CCTV.com News (Xinwen Lianbo): On November 13, the State Council held a national video conference on winter and spring farmland water conservancy and high-standard farmland development. Li Qiang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and premier of the State Council, recently issued important instructions on advancing farmland water conservancy and high-standard farmland development. The instructions noted that these efforts are important means of consolidating the foundations of national food security. In recent years, regions and relevant departments have continued to strengthen farmland development, playing a key role in consolidating and increasing overall grain production capacity and enhancing agriculture's ability to prevent and mitigate disasters. Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, efforts must thoroughly implement the CPC Central Committee's decisions and plans, prioritize quality, steadily advance high-standard farmland development and modernization of large and medium-sized irrigation districts, dredge farmland ditches and canals, promote water conservation and efficiency in agriculture, and further strengthen the foundations for agricultural disaster prevention and mitigation. Efforts must address prominent problems in high-standard farmland development, strictly supervise funds and manage projects, improve the system for supervising and inspecting construction quality, strengthen facility operation and maintenance, and fully realize comprehensive benefits, providing solid support for safeguarding the food security bottom line and accelerating the building of a strong agricultural country.
