#农村为什么没有年轻人种地#

In this era of modern technology and urban prosperity, the once quiet and leisurely countryside is also undergoing earth-shaking changes. Young people seem to be trapped in an interesting and thought-provoking labyrinth of questions about whether to farm or not to farm. Today, we will step into this "village time machine" to uncover the magical story of young farmers and see why this traditional way of life is slowly moving away from young people.

Rural Young Farming: Why Has the Proportion Dropped Dramatically?

Background:

When the rural economy develops and the gap between the city and the countryside becomes smaller and smaller, you may feel that more and more young people will choose to live a rural life. However, in real life, the younger generation is more inclined to the noisy city and is deeply influenced by urban culture and lifestyle. But there are fewer and fewer young people who really stick to traditional agriculture.

Development of modern agricultural technology:

Today's farming is not as much manual labor as it was when I was younger. The emergence of modern agricultural science and technology has standardized, programmed and large-scale the entire production process. In the past, I had to sweat a lot of farm work, but now I can do it "easily and happily". This makes the new generation with a sense of science and technology and strong business consciousness more willing to engage in farming activities, but they prefer to deal with machines rather than bending down with a hoe.

Changes in aesthetic perceptions and lifestyles:

The city's convenience, fashion, and humanistic atmosphere are intoxicating. If it was a small adventure to sneak into the city when you were young, then today's young people are more than that. After living here for a long time, the quietness here feels a little strange to them. So, they decided to leave their traditional farming fields and explore new horizons and opportunities.

Employment Issues:

There are relatively few jobs in rural areas, and traditional agriculture is the mainstay, with sporadic services as the mainstay. This is undoubtedly a fatal divide for young people who want to get better jobs and higher salaries. In order to seek greater development space, they resolutely went out of the countryside and ran to the bustling city.

Rural Young Farming: Why Has the Proportion Dropped Dramatically?

As a result, the share of rural youth in agricultural production has gradually declined, and this proportion has also gradually declined. The rapid development of modern agricultural technology, the great changes in aesthetics and lifestyles, and the limitation of rural jobs have all led to a clear trend towards greater development for young people. This also makes us think about whether there must be more development strategies in the future of the countryside in order to make this peaceful place have a brighter tomorrow.
