Study Of Agricultural Technological Innovation In Poverty Alleviation And Development Of Xinjiang

Poverty is the challenge facing the world. To promote development, eradicatepoverty and achieve common prosperity, is the eternal ideal and pursuit of mankind.Enter the "12th Five-Year Plan", poverty alleviation and development of Xinjiang isfacing new challenges. In this new stage, to consolidate the achievements of food andclothing, accelerate poverty alleviation, improve the development capacity andnarrow the development gap, is the practical requirements of poverty reduction inXinjiang. With the agricultural scientific and technological innovation in expandinganti-poverty work and its important supporting role in speeding up the transformationof the mode in the development of agricultural economy, the leap-forwarddevelopment of the economics society will be achived in poverty-stricken areas ofXinjiang.In the past, the poverty alleviation work in Xinjiang was facing the universal andabsolute poverty resulted from the development lagging, but now facing thetransformation of poverty characterized by the income inequality. In December2011,the state identified a new poverty line of2,300yuan. The Xinjiang poverty line isconsistent with the national average line, and also substantial increased in the standard.The rural low-income population of329million in line with poverty alleviationstandards accounts for31percent of Xinjiang's rural population. The contiguous poorareas, border areas and the poor mountainous areas in three southern states, wherelow-income rural population is relatively concentrated, become the main battlefield ofthe Anti-Poverty in Xinjiang. The primary task of poverty alleviation is to stable solvethe food and clothing of the poverty reduction target, eliminate poverty alleviation assoon as possible, accelerate the transformation of economic development mode,enhance their ability to self-development of the poverty reduction target, solve theoutstanding problems that hinder their development, promote the better and faster economic and social development in poverty-stricken areas.In this background, the scientific and technological innovation is one of thefundamental paths to help the farmers in poor areas out of poverty, promoteagriculture sustainable and stable development, and ease the enormous contradictionsamong the shortage of water resources, a fragile ecological environment andlow-income rural population in poor areas. Agricultural science and technology is thedecisive force to break the constraints of resource and environmental and acceleratethe construction of modern agriculture. By using agricultural science and technologyinnovation system as the carrier, and combining various means such as technology,promotion, education and so on, it is expected to get rid of the shackles of poverty,narrow the gap between regions and achive the social stability and long-term stabilityof the poverty-stricken areas in Xinjiang.For this thesis, the basic background is the reality of poverty alleviation anddevelopment, technological innovation and market economy of Xinjiang, and thevalue orientation is to effectively promote the local farmers poverty alleviation,sustainable agricultural development and rural social harmony. Based on the fullaccounts of the characteristics of agricultural science and technology and inherentrequirements of agricultural technology innovation, with the focus on the agriculturalresearch, agricultural extension, rural education, and using the relevant theory andanalytical tools, I empirical analyzed some cases of technological and typical pro-pooragricultural enterprises in Xinjiang, explored the new problems of agricultural scienceand technology innovation and development emerged in the process of reducing ruralpoverty in Xinjiang, and gave some academic recommendations and policy advice.This thesis consists of eight chapters.Chapter1: Firstly asking questions, and then putting forward the recommendationthat technological innovation is the requirement of helping the poor in the new era,last describing the purpose, meaning, research ideas and research contents for the thesis.Chapter2: The main domestic and foreign literatures including studies onanti-poverty theory and practice, the agricultural science and technology innovationtheory and its elements.Chapter3: Explaination of the concept and theory of agricultural science andtechnology innovation. First, describing the concept and characteristics of agriculturalscientific and technological innovation, then briefly discussing the agricultural scienceand technology innovation system, finally introducing in detail the theory ofagricultural science and technology innovation.Chapter4: Analysis for the status and main reasons of rural poverty in Xinjiang.Detailed research analysis for the main innovation modes and achievements ofpoverty alleviation and development in rural areas of Xinjiang. All of analysis abovewill be the basis of in-depth exploring the development road of science andtechnology helping peasants in Xinjiang.Chapter5: Introduce the different development stages of agricultural science andtechnology since the founding, explain the new strategy for science and technology torevitalize Xinjiang, and analyze the funds of Science and Technology, the researchconditions and science and technology institutions in Xinjiang.Chapter6: Review the poverty alleviation and the main results obtained inXinjiang, empirically analyze the cases of technology demonstration townshipprojects and poverty alleviation leading enterprises, then discuss the practical patternsof poverty alleviation in Xinjiang rural areas.Chapter7: In-depth analyze the problems existed in the management system ofagricultural research, agricultural extension, management of rural education, thendiscuss the gaps and imperfections for agricultural technological innovation inreducing the poverty in Xinjiang, finally provide an effective perspective of the PolicyStudies. Chapter8: Provide an effective way based on the scientific and technologicalinnovation to reduce rural poverty of Xinjiang: strengthen research and innovationcapacity, enhance the capacity of agricultural technology promotion, develop theagricultural education, and reinforce the scientific and technological innovationmanagement.In short, facing with the grim task of poverty alleviation, based on the fullimplementation of innovative strategies in Xinjiang, and from the perspective of theagricultural science and technology innovation, I explore the new era role ofscientific and technological innovation in promoting and supporting povertyalleviation and development in Xinjiang, and put forward appropriate policyrecommendations: construct the organisms for agricultural research, agriculturalextension and rural education, effectively manage the agricultural scientific andtechnological innovation, enhance the independent innovation capability and theself-development capacity in order to achieve the poverty alleviation or rural povertyreduction, promote Xinjiang's better advantages in agricultural resources to changes inthe economic advantages, facilitate regional sustainable development in Xinjiang andthe leaps and bounds, and ultimately achieve social stability and long-term stability.
