In zhangqing county, zhangqing, guangdong province, there is often a busy presence of representatives of the national people's congress. As a “new farmer” for more than a decade in the zagan countryside, she was compassionately referred to by the people of the village as the “sister of the gommel”. From the “outside man” who knows nothing about agriculture to the general manager and secretary of the party branch of dongqing county eco-agriculture limited, which grew up to boost the incomes of local farmers, to the elected representative of the national people's congress, chen hui's struggle remains in the country's orchards. Her advice was to “breath” from the field, soaking the fragrance of the land with its weight and fruit。
Focus on modern ecological agriculture
This year, chen hui's plan was brought to the attention of the two national conferences and focused on modern ecological agriculture as it had on the previous two years. In her view, sustainable ecological agriculture development required, first and foremost, healthy soil. “agriculture, i think, is at the core and the most urgent is the restoration and protection of the land.” chen hae-hye, the “disease” of the land is good enough for agriculture to take root. Chen hui has placed soil health at the logical starting point of modern ecological agriculture development, and her philosophy and practice have been centred around the central theme of science and technology for sustainable development of ecological agriculture。
Chen hui's mobile phone has so far kept photos of a difficult attack in 2016 in an orchard with farmers and technical teams. After many years of tackling the challenges of planting, she felt deeply that without “healthy” soil there was no abundant harvest. “it is not realistic, it has been said, to restore fertility to the land through a fallow, but this would lead directly to a reduction in production. The path of sustainability depends on ecological techniques to repair the soil.” chen hui said. She therefore viewed scientific and technological land improvement as a lifeline for sustainable development in modern ecological agriculture. In 2023, she was elected as a representative of the national people's congress, and her first proposal was closely related to scientific and technological growth - the recommendation on the development of modern ecological agriculture through scientific and technological innovation. The proposal was answered by the ministry of agriculture and rural affairs。
As a fruit farmer who has been dealing with the land for many years, chen hui has proposed specific technical pathways: promoting soil ecological restoration, promoting efficient organic fertilizers, and applying biological control. She recommended that the state establish a dedicated scientific research fund to provide long-term, stable and strategic input into key technologies such as soil restoration. She also recommended that the legislative process relating to soil restoration be accelerated and that an insurmountable red line be established for cropland protection。
Organization of innovative aggregation platforms
After many years of entrepreneurship and research, chen hui clearly captured the core pains in the agricultural innovation chain: “lack of platforms” and “lack of integration”. The results of large investment in scientific research by enterprises are difficult to replicate, farmers ' good products cannot find a stable market, and quality agricultural resources are not efficiently connected. In response to this systemic challenge, she plans to submit proposals at the national two conferences in 2026 to promote the construction of national agricultural marketing service centres to inject dynamic energy into modern agricultural development。
Based on an industry-wide chain perspective, chen hui's focus on performance extends from “focusing on technology-enabled land” to the construction of systems to break down innovation bottlenecks. In march 2024, chen hui union, a national “new farmers' union” was launched in guangzhou, bringing together highly qualified individuals in the field of “three farmers”, leaders in industrial development, new farmers who have returned home to start their own businesses, and members of cooperative organizations, and forming an innovative convergence platform for “brain + technology + industry”。
Chen hui is developing a multi-level service centre. In her vision, the centre was not an isolated institution, but a networked, hierarchical and functional ecosystem. The centre is able to integrate the country's scattered resources and to address systematically the problems of “failure” and “failure” agricultural products through a variety of channels, such as electricians, wholesalers and exporters, by focusing on research and development, so that farmers can grow properly and so that good products can reach large markets both at home and abroad。
