Vol 6 Chapter 2991: Build a modern powerhouse in animal husbandry and agriculture

Latest website: In addition to having very good grazing conditions, the major beef exporting countries and regions mentioned earlier are also because the agriculture in these countries and regions is very developed.

Whether it is rice, Austria, or South America, its agriculture is very developed and it is also one of the world's major food producers and exporters.

Therefore, in addition to exporting a large amount of rich grain, a large part of it is digested domestically and regionally, and most of it is used to raise livestock and poultry.

It is also because these regions and countries have abundant pastures and abundant and cheap food that their animal husbandry, especially the commercial animal husbandry, has developed little by little.

The development of animal husbandry has also significantly reduced the price of meat products in these countries. Why the livestock and poultry meat products sold in these countries are so cheap is inseparable from their developed animal husbandry and low breeding costs.

Even if many meat products come to our country across the ocean, their prices are much lower than our domestic poultry and livestock meat products. The reason is because their breeding costs are too low. Even if they are low and high, The shipping costs are also lower than those produced in our country.

Also because the cheap livestock and poultry meat products in their regions and countries are cheap, their consumption capacity for meat products is relatively strong. These countries and regions are also among the countries with the largest per capita consumption of meat products in the world.

Its improvement in the consumption capacity of meat products has also greatly stimulated and promoted the development of the livestock and poultry breeding industry in this country and region. This is also the reason why the breeding industry in these countries and regions is so developed.

After saying this, Shen Ning took a sip of water from her assistant and gave everyone some time to digest before she continued her sermon.

"As for our northwest region, it has a vast territory. Although the natural environment is not as good as these countries and regions, it is more advantageous in that it is vast and sparsely populated.

If we can use these pastures cultivated through gene editing technology to plant and cultivate some large grasslands and pastures in the desert Gobi areas of the northwest, promote and enhance the development of the local breeding industry, thereby turning the entire northwest region into our country's meat production base and food production base.

In this way, we can achieve self-sufficiency in domestic food and meat products, and even use them for export, changing from a meat and food importing country to an exporting country.

The significance of this is absolutely huge. The first is national food security. Food security covers a wide range, not only limited to staple foods, but also vegetables, livestock and poultry meat products. These things are indispensable. Together they constitute our country’s total food source and feed a population of 1.4 billion people.

If we can achieve self-sufficiency, we can get rid of the control imposed on us by foreign countries, so that we can speak more truthfully without being threatened and blackmailed by the other party.

This aspect may not be reflected in normal times, and at most it will be price changes, but once a war breaks out or the world is turbulent and unstable, it will be reflected.

As the saying goes, if a person has no foresight, he will have immediate worries, and the same applies to the country. We must make relevant preparations in advance, so as not to make us difficult and full of difficulties in situations and environments that may occur in the future.

Secondly, it can save our country a lot of import costs of grain and livestock and poultry products every year, and reduce foreign exchange expenses.

Finally, it is the driving role of this entire industry in the local economy. In addition, it can also create many jobs and drive people in this area to become rich. "

After listening to Shen Ning's explanation, everyone present nodded and began to think in unison.

For a long time, Professor Zhang Chengwang couldn't help but sigh, then shook his head and said: "The idea is very good. If it can be realized, it will have great impact on our country's food security, dietary structure, national strategy, economic development, and social and people's livelihood. A huge boost.

But the question is whether it can be realized. First of all, even if you succeed in cultivating drought-resistant super pastures, is it really safe? This is still a question.

Our country is very cautious about such genetically modified and gene-edited products, especially when it comes to food safety. Therefore, it will take time to implement it on a large scale, and it will take a long time.

Otherwise, it may be difficult to get approval and even more difficult for the public to accept it. Especially over the long term, people have had huge discrimination and misunderstandings about genetically modified foods themselves, and it is difficult to reverse this situation.

Even if overseas control over this aspect is not as strong as at home, just imagine how overseas, especially these major interest countries, will react once we plant and use it to raise livestock and poultry on a large scale.

I'm afraid that once they feel threatened, they will spare no effort to attack us and eliminate us. Then this aspect will definitely become a tool for the other party to attack and frame us, and it will also become a reason to ban us.

So if we want to develop to the stage you just mentioned, I'm afraid it will take a long time. It may take ten, twenty, or even fifty years before we can see some results. "

After hearing Professor Zhang Chengwang's words, everyone present nodded in unison. It has to be said that Professor Zhang's worries are not unreasonable. This is also the consistent face of some countries, and they have long been used to it.

At this time, Zhang Junze, who had been standing by silently, suddenly said: "Is ten or twenty years, even fifty years, really long? Compared with the rejuvenation and development of a nation and a country, is it long? .

Except for us, no developed country has had smooth development. It took them decades, hundreds, or even hundreds of years to achieve leadership.

So what does it matter if we spend ten, twenty, or even fifty years to build a powerful country in animal husbandry and grain industry? UU reading www. Is uukanshu.com slow? I don’t think it is slow.

As long as we have this New Year, what does this time mean? "

Well said. Deputy Director Cheng continued Zhang Jun's words and affirmed: "As long as this project is conducive to national development, ten, twenty, even fifty years will not matter.

Each generation has its own mission, and each generation has its own responsibilities. Then the mission and responsibility of our generation, or the mission and responsibility of our generation of farmers and foresters, is to build a modern powerful country in animal husbandry and agriculture, and use the risks of our generation in exchange for our children and grandchildren not being hungry, and in exchange for the entire northwest I think it is worth it to make hundreds of millions of people in the region rich. "

After listening to what these people said, Wu Hao looked at Professor Zhang Chengwang and smiled and said: "No one can stop the development of technology. Those who try to stop it will only block the car with their arms. If they do not overestimate their own capabilities, they will be run over by the wheels." Crush to pieces.

Although there are still some uncertainties and unknowns in gene editing technology and transgenic technology, we believe that the future development of agriculture and animal husbandry will depend on these two technologies. "
