The Theory Of Promoting Agricultural Development By Industry

Promoting agricultural development by industry is the recent advance of the theory of the socialism with Chinese characteristics on the issues concerning with agriculture, ruralarea and farmers. It is the new creation of Marxist theory combining with the issues of agriculture, ruralarea and farmers and embodies that Marxism is the guiding ideology and the theoretical base of policy making on the issues. It is the objective requirement of building new socialist countryside and adhering to the road of agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics. It summarizes the relationship of industry and agriculture and the relation between the urban and rural. The industry and agriculture here are the historical and general concepts. Industry generally refers to the non-agricultural sectors and cities, and agriculture covers the issues about agriculture, ruralarea and farmers. The core is to promote agricultural development by means of industry. The intension of promoting agricultural development by industry is more abundant and profound than nurturing agriculture through industry. There are obvious differences between them at the aspect of the action space, the dominant force, the implementation mechanism, the side keys and the methods of analysis. To promote agricultural development by means of industry is a systematic project, including four cumulative progressions of strategic targets and steps as to realize the coordinated development of industry and agriculture, to realize the city and countryside integration, to realize the treatment equalization of city residents and farmers and to build well-off society in all-round way and achieve modernization. The strategic emphasis must be highlighted such as to develop agriculture-related industries, to realize the agricultural industry and industrialization and to build the long-acting system. The nature of promoting agricultural development by industry is the movement and adjustment within the relation of production. Only returning to the connections of producing, exchanging, distributing and consuming which Marx framed, the effective way can be found by reviving the agriculture through industrialization in the field of production, using industrial income to nurture agriculture in the field of distribution, invigorating agriculture through market in the field of circulation and benefiting famers in all-round way in the consumption field. It is a long-term project to promote agricultural development by industry and needs to set up relevant mechanisms of motive, transmission and coordination to carry it out steadily. The interests adjusting in many aspects such as industry and agriculture, urban and rural areas, developed eastern region to underdeveloped middle-western region, historic contribution and responsibility of the times is involved in the strategy. It is important for the government to exert its vital functions in the process. The functions consist of drawing up scientific and effective policies and measures, using scientific development perspective and logos of industrialization to confirm the policy orientation of modern agriculture, upgrading the level of rural public goods and infrastructure, protecting farmers' rights and interests through modern civilization of industry, and therefrom building harmonious well-off society in all-round way and the modernization will be realized at an early date.
