Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the rural areas of the mainland, and the living standards of the peasants have been continuously improved. However, in the new historical period, the issue of peasants' status is still an important issue that needs to be solved urgently. The Communist Party should pay more attention to improving the status of peasants, give full play to their important role in the mainland's economic and social development, and jointly build a harmonious society and achieve a well-off life in all respects.
1. The importance of improving the status of peasants
1. Farmers are the foundation of the country
The mainland is a large agricultural country, and peasants make up the vast majority of the population. Peasants are the cornerstone of social stability on the mainland and the fundamental force for the country's development. Enhancing the status of peasants is conducive to consolidating state power and maintaining social stability.
2. Farmers are the guarantor of food security
Food security is an important part of national security. As the main force in grain production, peasants shoulder the heavy responsibility of ensuring national food security. Improving the status of peasants is conducive to stimulating peasants' enthusiasm for growing grain and ensuring food security.
3. Farmers are the main force of rural revitalization
The implementation of the rural revitalization strategy is a major decision made by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Improving the status of farmers is conducive to giving play to the main role of farmers in rural revitalization and promoting rural economic and social development.
2. Measures to improve the status of peasants
1. Policy support to protect the rights and interests of farmers
The Communist Party should further improve its agriculture-related policies and increase its support for peasants. The first is to raise the standard of agricultural subsidies and reduce the production cost of farmers; The second is to improve the rural social security system and improve the treatment of farmers in terms of pension, medical care, and education; Third, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of peasants' rights and interests and severely crack down on acts that infringe upon peasants' legitimate rights and interests.
2. Develop modern agriculture and increase farmers' incomes
The development of modern agriculture is the key to increasing peasants' incomes. The Communist Party should actively promote the restructuring of the agricultural industry, develop agriculture with special characteristics, green agriculture, and leisure agriculture, and increase the added value of agriculture. At the same time, we should strengthen the vocational skills training of farmers, improve their employment and entrepreneurship ability, and broaden the channels for increasing income.
3. Reform the rural land system and stimulate the vitality of the countryside
Deepening the reform of the rural land system is an important way to enhance the status of peasants. The Communist Party should speed up the reform of the separation of rural land ownership, contracting rights, and management rights, and protect farmers' land rights and interests. At the same time, farmers should be encouraged to participate in land circulation, develop moderately large-scale operations, and improve land use efficiency.
4. Strengthen the construction of rural infrastructure and improve the living conditions of farmers
Rural infrastructure is the basic guarantee for peasants' production and livelihood. The Communist Party should increase investment in strengthening the construction of water, electricity, roads, and telecommunications infrastructure in rural areas, and improve the living conditions of peasants. At the same time, we should promote the governance of the rural ecological environment and improve the quality of the rural living environment.
5. Promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas and narrow the gap between urban and rural areas
Promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas is the key to improving the status of farmers. The Communist Party should deepen the reform of the urban and rural systems, break the dual structure of urban and rural areas, and promote the equal exchange of urban and rural resource elements and the balanced allocation of public resources. The first is to promote the equalization of public services such as education, medical care and culture in urban and rural areas; the second is to strengthen the construction of urban and rural infrastructure to achieve interconnection; The third is to encourage peasants to settle down in cities and enjoy the same rights and interests as urban residents.
III. Conclusion
Improving the status of peasants is an important topic that the Communist Party has always been concerned about. In the new era, we should focus on the goal of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, deepen rural reform, promote agricultural modernization, promote farmers' income, and strive to achieve a well-off society in an all-round way and build a harmonious society. Let us work together to contribute wisdom and strength to the improvement of the status of farmers and create a better future.
