Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, has placed great emphasis on agricultural science and technology innovation, guiding and driving historic achievements in China's agricultural science and technology sector. Currently, China's overall agricultural science and technology innovation has entered the world's top tier, with the contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress reaching .%, the coverage rate of improved crop varieties exceeding %, and the comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation, planting, and harvesting exceeding %. These advancements have made significant contributions to ensuring national food security and promoting high-quality agricultural development.

农业强国是社会主义现代化强国的根基。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。解决吃饭问题根本出路在科技，保障国家粮食安全不仅要"藏粮于地"，还要"藏粮于技"。

In the past year, China's grain output exceeded 1.3 trillion jin for the first time, with the comprehensive agricultural production capacity continuously improving, and the foundation of national food security increasingly strengthened, thanks in no small part to agricultural technology. However, it is also important to recognize that constraints on resources such as arable land and water are becoming increasingly tight, and the frequent occurrence of natural disasters and extreme weather events is putting significant pressure on the stable and increased production of grain.

把中国人的饭碗牢牢端在自己手中，必须深入实施"藏粮于地、藏粮于技"战略，依靠科技创新提高单产和品质，全面提升土地产出率、劳动生产率和农业资源利用效率，进一步挖掘粮食生产潜力，把国家粮食安全根基夯得更加牢固。
