Tapping and Cultivating the Main Force of Rural Ecological Environment Governance

The Third Plenary Session of the Twentieth Central identified the advancement of integrated urban and rural development as a crucial aspect of Chinese-style modernization. The session underscored the importance of refining the institutional framework for integrated urban and rural development as a viable strategy for addressing the challenges faced by agriculture and rural areas, and for fostering the growth of a robust agricultural sector. The revitalization of the countryside is essential for the overall strength and prosperity of the nation. When the countryside flourishes, the nation benefits, and vice versa. To revive the nation, it is imperative to prioritize the revitalization of the countryside. General Secretary underscored the importance of this point, stating: "Agriculture is a fundamental sector of the economy, and the process of modernization in China is inextricably linked to the advancement of the agricultural industry. "To revitalize agriculture, it is essential to integrate scientific and technological advancement." The primary challenges currently facing China's rural ecological environment governance can be broadly classified into three categories: the need to clarify the role of rural ecological environment governance for townspeople, the necessity to cultivate townspeople's enthusiasm for participating in rural affairs, and the importance of identifying a driving force to facilitate this participation. The second issue pertains to the "technology to the countryside" initiative, which has resulted in an increased degree of specialization and a dearth of farmers' own professional knowledge and skills. This contradiction has led to the current state of rural technology construction in the countryside. Secondly, the discrepancy between the heightened specialization of "technology to the countryside" and the dearth of professional expertise among farmers has resulted in a stagnant trajectory in the development and implementation of technology in rural areas. It is imperative to disseminate scientific ecological concepts and accurate technical methods to these grassroots "elites," so that an increasing number of "elites" can master the requisite knowledge and technology. By encouraging the participation of ordinary villagers in neighboring areas, the primary force of rural ecological governance will gradually be released and activated, forming a consistent stream of endogenous power that will significantly advance the realization of rural ecological revitalization.
