The 28th meeting of the 11th the NPC Standing Committee deliberated and passed the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Agricultural Technology Promotion (hereinafter referred to as the Law on Agricultural Technology Promotion), which was adopted on.2013yearonemoononeIt will be implemented on the day. In order to do a good job in the implementation of the agricultural technology popularization law, the following opinions are put forward.
First, improve the national agricultural technology extension institutions
(1) Perfecting the establishment of national agricultural technology extension institutions according to law.According to the needs of agricultural ecological conditions, industrial characteristics, production scale, regional layout and agricultural technology popularization, national agricultural technology popularization institutions at all levels shall be established according to law. Institutions at or above the county level should highlight the technical popularization of key specialties such as animal and plant breeding, crop cultivation, soil improvement and fertilizer application, plant protection, animal husbandry (grassland), aquatic products, animal epidemic prevention, agricultural mechanization, and set them up scientifically. Township-level national agricultural technology extension institutions can be set up according to towns or regions; It can be set by industry (specialty) or comprehensive. It is necessary to properly handle the relationship between township-level agricultural technology extension institutions and other agricultural public service institutions, and ensure that technology, talents, facilities and equipment resources can play their greatest role. For institutions at or above the county level mainly engaged in administrative management, law enforcement supervision or technical support business, and at the same time undertaking the functions of agricultural technology popularization in some industries or professions in this region, their technology popularization work should be managed in accordance with the Agricultural Technology Popularization Law.
(2) Clarify the responsibilities of the national agricultural technology extension institutions.According to the division of functions, the public welfare responsibilities stipulated in Article 11 of the Agricultural Technology Extension Law will be refined and decomposed and implemented in each national agricultural technology extension institution. While performing public welfare duties, national agro-technical popularization institutions should participate in the formulation and implementation of agro-technical popularization plans at the corresponding level, implement agro-technical popularization plans and projects according to the deployment of local governments, agricultural departments and higher-level agro-technical popularization institutions, organize agro-technical popularization, coordinate and guide the extension service activities of other agro-technical popularization organizations, and effectively play a leading role in agro-technical popularization. Agricultural technology popularization institutions at or above the county level should organize and guide the work of agricultural technology popularization in this region, and organize the introduction, integration, test and demonstration of major agricultural technologies across regions; Township agricultural technology extension institutions should publicize and implement agricultural laws and regulations and policies of strengthening agriculture, benefiting farmers and enriching farmers in accordance with the relevant arrangements at higher levels, enter villages and households to carry out technology extension services, and guide and support village-level agricultural technology service stations and farmers’ technicians to carry out agricultural technology extension activities. Effectively separate the operational functions of grass-roots agricultural technical institutions and operate in a market-oriented manner.
(three) standardize the name and logo of the national agricultural technology extension institution.In accordance with the principle of outstanding functions and easy identification, the name and logo of the national agricultural technology extension institution will be further standardized in conjunction with relevant departments. In accordance with the form of "administrative division name+line (specialized) industry name+common name", the names of township-level national agricultural technology extension institutions shall be unified. The institutions established by townships take "station" or "center" as the common name; An institution that is established across townships and undertakes all the technology promotion work of two or more township-related industries can be called a "regional station"; An institution set up in a certain township and radiating to drive other surrounding township agricultural technology extension institutions to carry out business work is called a "central station". The name of the institution set up by industry is "agricultural technology promotion (or animal husbandry and veterinary, grassland work, aquatic technology promotion, agricultural mechanization technology promotion, etc.)"; The name of the comprehensive institution is "agricultural technology popularization" or related professional combination. The name of the administrative division is unified as the name of the township where the township-level agricultural technology extension institution is located, in which the regional station and the central station use the proper name of the township. After standardization, the names of township-level national agricultural technology extension institutions should be gradually unified in the same province and within the same industry. The Ministry of Agriculture will uniformly design and issue the logo of the national agricultural technology extension institutions, and agricultural technology extension institutions at all levels should put the logo in a prominent position.
(4) Rationalize the management system of national agricultural technology extension institutions.The provincial agricultural departments should, according to the characteristics of local agricultural technology popularization, study and put forward suggestions on improving the management system of township agricultural technology popularization institutions in conjunction with relevant departments, and strengthen the management and guidance of county-level agricultural departments on township agricultural technology popularization. In areas where township agricultural technology extension institutions are mainly managed by county-level agricultural departments, it is necessary to further consolidate the achievements of reform and stabilize the management system. In areas where township agricultural technology extension institutions are mainly managed by township governments, it is necessary to clarify the guiding responsibilities of county-level agricultural departments in the formulation, organization and implementation of agricultural technology extension plans, work assessment, personnel deployment, post employment and promotion, and implement the responsibilities of township agricultural technology extension to ensure that township agricultural technology extension institutions and agricultural technicians effectively perform their duties.
