"In the context of rural revitalization and industrial empowerment, we must do a good job in the systematic work of data as the root, and the way of thinking should be changed." The possession, analysis and feasibility demonstration of data are an indispensable part of the foundation of rural revitalization and industrial empowerment. Li Wenzhong, director of the Social Affairs Management Committee of China Real Estate News, said in his opening speech.

Yuan Wenxian, president of the China Association for Poverty Alleviation and Development, believes that industrial revitalization is the top priority of rural revitalization, and industrial revitalization is an important measure to consolidate the effective connection between poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. If rural revitalization does not have industrial consolidation and stability, then the results achieved in the early stage may lead to the phenomenon of returning to poverty, and it will be difficult to continue the revitalization in the later stage.

Yuan Wenxian believes that we should do a good job in five aspects: First, the breeding and breeding industry is the top priority in all industries; second, the government should guide the construction of the whole industrial chain and form an industrial cluster; third, industrial products must be marketized, and the industry can have a way out; fourth, the tilt and support of funds are very important; fifth, agriculture-related services should be standardized, supervision should be strengthened, and the ecological environment should be protected.

"Practice shows that to lead the revitalization of rural industries, we must build a modern rural industrial system." Yin Chengjie, former executive deputy director of the Ministry of Agriculture and member of the Rural Revitalization Expert Advisory Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that the construction of a modern rural industrial system should be based on the advantages of natural, economic, cultural, scientific and technological, talent and digital resources, guided by market demand, and supported by science and technology into an important form and model of modern rural industry.

Ren Tiemin, a member of the China Rural Revitalization 50 Forum and former director of the Planning and Finance Department of the National Rural Revitalization Bureau, said that rural revitalization is a special group of people and a specific area of the development of the problem, and the agricultural problem is one of them. However, "rural revitalization is not just an agricultural issue, non-farm employment is very important, of which local non-farm employment is even more important." ”

"Part-time work is an important way to increase farmers' incomes." Dang Guoying, a senior researcher at the Institute of Rural Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that it is necessary to attach importance to whether peasants' incomes can be raised and how to make up for the gap between peasants' incomes. Dang Guoying found in the survey that compared with professional farmers, the possibility of small farmers obtaining income when they are idle is very small, but the possibility of professional farmers getting income when they are idle is relatively large. "The more specialized, large-scale and modernized agriculture is, in fact, the more farmers need to work part-time, and from the experience of some developed countries, the main labor force may be near the farm. The total size of our country's economy is 100 trillion yuan, and the country's demand for nearby part-time employment is 64 trillion yuan, that is to say, if the scale of the economy below the town reaches the level of 64 trillion yuan, the peasant household may make his income level similar to that of urban residents. ”
