The goals of this National Agricultural Sustainable Development Plan (2015-2030) are set up as: by 2020, the sustainable development of agriculture will achieve initial results, with obvious economic, social and ecological benefits; by 2030, the sustainable development of agriculture will achieve remarkable results. The Plan identifies the guiding ideology of sustainable agricultural development, which is to accelerate the development of resource-saving, environment-friendly and ecological conservation agriculture, effectively change the mode of agricultural development, and shift from relying on resource consumption, agricultural material inputs and ecological environment to intensive management focusing on improving quality and efficiency. The specific goals are: By 2020, positive progress will be made in the transformation of the agricultural development mode, the comprehensive agricultural production capacity will be steadily improved, the agricultural structure will be further optimized, the quality and safety of agricultural products will be continuously improved, the protection level and utilization efficiency of agricultural resources will be significantly improved, and the ecosystem functions such as forests, grassland, lakes and wetlands will be effectively restored and enhanced, the decline of biodiversity will gradually slow down; By 2030, a new pattern of sustainable agricultural development with strong supply guarantee, efficient resource utilization, good production environment, stable ecosystem, affluent farmers and beautiful rural scenery will be basically established. The Plan further puts forward five major tasks for sustainable agricultural development: Optimizes the development layout and steadily improves agricultural production capacity; Protect cultivated land resources and promote the sustainable utilization of farmland; Ensure the safety of water for agriculture; Control environmental pollution and improve the agricultural and rural environment; Restore agricultural ecology and improve ecological functions. In accordance with the requirements of "self-sufficiency of grain and absolute grain ration security", the Plan proposes: to gradually establish a new pattern of agricultural production that matches the agricultural productivity and the carrying capacity of resources and environment; to give full play to the driving role of scientific and technological innovation, implement the strategy of invigorating agriculture through science and education; to optimize and adjust the structure of crop planting and animal husbandry sectors, and promote the combination of agriculture and animal husbandry, and the combination of agriculture and forestry; etc. Tthe Qinghai-Tibet region and the marine fishery areas have a special and important strategic position in ecological protection. The Qinghai-Tibet region is the birthplace of major rivers and an important ecological security barrier in the country. It is rich in agricultural resources with plateau characteristics, but the ecology is very fragile. The marine fishery area has developed rapidly, but there are also problems of declining fishery resources and prominent pollution. It is necessary to insist on prioritizing protection and restricting development, and allow grasslands, oceans and other resources to recuperate, and promote a virtuous circle of ecosystems.
