Document No.1of the central government in2013indicates that a large number of rural labors flow, which led to an obvious trend of farmers’diversified, villages hollow and population aging. The farmers’interests demand diversely. It is imperative to strengthen and innovate social management in rural areas. Due to the advance of china’s new urbanization and the agricultural comparative effectiveness is low, which had directly triggered rural young labor force largely even excessive outflow. As of2012, the total amount of migrant works has reached260million, an increase of3.9%over the previous year. In the context of the aging of the rural labor force, the number of rural labor force is shrinking, and the cultural quality of the remaining is low in rural areas. The older labor to master the willingness and ability of agricultural science and technology is obviously insufficient, which had a negative impact on china’s agricultural production. The pressure of agricultural products supply in the case of scarce arable land resources is increasing.A long time, Chinese scholars in the discussion of the development of modern agriculture, emphasis on funding, production technology, innovation of organizational forms of agricultural production etc., and the lack of attention to the human factor. It is widely believed that China’s rural surplus labor is an unlimited supply as china’s national conditions of large population and land scarcity, the aging of the rural labor force has not attracted attention. The most important issue to protect our food security and effective supply of the main agricultural products that must be addressed is who is going to farming and how scientific farming in the future.Sichuan province, china’s most populous province is also rich labor resources province.Sichuan is located in western China, the level of economic development is relatively backward. Rural public services and infrastructure is significant deficiencies compared with city. There is a big gap between urban and rural social development. In order to seek better opportunities for development, a large number of young laborers in rural areas began to be transferred to the big cities and coastal areas, and transfer size increased every year. Sichuan rural labor force aging and feminine led to imbalances in the structure of the labor force in rural areas, which had brought serious challenges to agricultural production in Sichuan Province.The world economic and social development of the common law is that rural surplus labor transfer to non-agricultural industries and urban. Countries are actively exploring the causes of aging in the rural labor force which is compatible with their national conditions. The direct cause of the aging of China’s rural labor force is the special national conditions of China’s natural conditions, material living conditions, medical conditions and family planning policy. The root cause of the aging of China’s rural labor force is that the agricultural comparative effectiveness is low, and there is a huge gap between the urban and rural social development, uneven development opportunities in urban and rural areas as well as that support and benefit agriculture policy can not mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers to grow grain.The aging of the rural labor force restricts the development of China’s agricultural modernization. Firstly, rural labor force aging led to the weakening of agricultural producers the ability to work, the time and effort that put into agricultural production was limited, and extensive management of land, abandonment was a common phenomenon. Secondly, Aging of labor physical and cultural qualities of deficiencies hindered the promotion of agricultural production technologies and applications which affected the improvement of agricultural labor productivity. Thirdly, the aging of the rural labor force caused by the shortage of agricultural labor, so that the gap between supply and demand of agricultural products increases caused by rising prices of agricultural products, which had increased the cost of living of urban and rural residents, and will affect the stability of the national economy and social development.Sichuan Province, the following aspects should respond to the challenges of aging of the rural labor force in the long-term trend of the aging of rural labor force. Firstly, to accelerate the pace of new professional farmers’cultivation, nurturing new professional farmers’main object is the migrant workers who return home on business. Secondly, promoting the land transfer so that the limited resources of the land was concentrated to farming experts, the large breeding as well as the new professional farmers, which promotes land appropriate scale of operation. Thirdly, the local place should promote and develop agricultural mechanization in the light of local conditions, take a different standard of subsidies in different parts of the purchase subsidies and operating subsidies. In addition, they must take great efforts to develop various forms of agricultural social service organizations, in order to strengthen the agricultural social service system. Forth, the government should further increase agricultural subsidies, especially the scale management subsidies, gradually increase the comparative efficiency of agricultural operations. Lastly, according to the different natural conditions and market conditions, Si chuan government should promote strategic adjustment of agricultural structure, and take great efforts to develop high-efficiency, high-quality modern agriculture.Sichuan rural labor force status of aging, I conducted a field survey to obtain first-hand data through survey and village cadres interviews can be more objective and truly reflect the actual situation of the rural labor force. The contribution of this paper is that, first of all, I have defined the standard of the aging of rural labor force for the first time. Second,I make an analysis about Sichuan rural labor force status of aging, as well as the causes. Finally, I have studied a new source of professional farmers, which provide a reference for our country in fostering agricultural successor.
