In recent years, China's grain has been a sustained harvest, but by the expanding rigid demand for food, food production is affected by a variety of factors fluctuations and other constraints, China's food supply and demand will be in a tight balance for a long period of time in the future, to ensure food security is still China's agricultural and rural development and the development of the national economy is an important task. Good seed is the prerequisite material basis for guaranteeing food security. In recent years, especially since the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", under the support of the National 863 Program, the Support Program and other scientific and technological programs and projects, China's seed selection and seed production technology has made remarkable progress, especially in the use of hybrid advantage, conventional breeding and some of the crops in the field of transgenic breeding to reach the world's leading or advanced level, a large number of seed industry enterprises A large number of seed industry enterprises have been growing and expanding by relying on science and technology, and the coverage rate of good crop seeds has reached more than 95%, which has made an important contribution to ensuring the growth of grain in recent years. Entering the new century, molecular breeding, transgenic breeding technology as the core of the biological breeding industry has become the focus of international scientific and technological competition and even economic competition, multinational enterprises and financial institutions to intervene, so that the international seed market competition is becoming increasingly white, the development of China's seed industry has formed an unprecedented impact. How to actively respond to the fierce competition in the international seed industry, strengthen the scientific and technological innovation capacity of China's seed industry and the international competitiveness of the seed industry, to ensure national food security, is currently China's agricultural science and technology sector and the seed industry is facing a major proposition.
This forum to "develop seed science and technology, to ensure food security" as the theme, focusing on the new situation of China's seed industry science and technology innovation and industrial development situation and improve China's seed industry and agricultural science and technology innovation capacity of the measures for the in-depth implementation of the CPC's 17th National Congress and the 17th Third Plenary Session of the Fourth Plenary Session of the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, the Central Rural Work Conference, the spirit of the Central Committee of the National People's Congress, the Central Committee of the National Rural Work Conference.
