At the press conference today, the relevant publishers introduced this: the global important agricultural cultural heritage is a traditional agricultural system that has important historical and humanistic value and has important reference for modern ecological cycle agriculture.

It has a great significance.

Relevant publishers say that through effective protection of important agricultural cultural heritage around the world, it can better tap traditional agricultural value, expand various agricultural functions, realize ecological protection, cultural heritage and economic development of inheritance, and promote sustainable agricultural development and rural villages. Prosperity.

According to the official website of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, since 2005, the organization has identified 65 systems and inheritance sites in 22 countries, and 15 new proposals have been received in 8 countries.

In 17 years, only 65 were identified in the world. From these two numbers, it can be seen that it is very difficult to become an important agricultural cultural heritage in the world, so it is also precious.

Let's learn about this conference again, there are three main keywords:

The first keyword is the "list": On June 24, 2022, the global development high -level dialogue meeting was held. "Hold a conference of important agricultural cultural heritage in the world and initiate the protection of farming civilization protection."

The second keyword is the "20th Anniversary": the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization launched an initiative of the world's important agricultural cultural heritage in 2002. This year is the 20th anniversary of the initiative.

The third keyword is "the biggest": At present, the conference has invited 13 countries of Agricultural Minister, the Director -General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 19 countries in China, UNESCO, and World Food Program Administration. Representatives, as well as relevant experts and scholars, and corporate representatives attended the meeting. This is the largest, highest -level, and most impact of the largest scale of the global agricultural cultural heritage in 20 years.

Speaking of which, everyone can see that this conference is very heavy.

So a question came: Why should this global conference be held in a mountain and county in Zhejiang?

Here we must talk about Qingtian rice and fish symbiosis system.

Many people know that the history of fish farming in Qingtian rice fields is very long. The ancestors of Qingtian faced the geographical conditions of "Jiushan, half water and half -point fields", and created the rice and fish symbiosis system that "with fish and fat fields, coexisting with rice, and fish food". It has been more than 1,300 years.

It has caused widespread attention. The official website of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization is called the Qingtian rice and fish symbiosis system as "a production model of organic combination of planting and breeding industry, and it is also a kind of resource composite use system". The systematic diversity of the system is guaranteed to ensure the ecological balance of the farmland, raising fish with rice, promoting rice with fish, and mutually beneficial ecology, realizing the double harvest of rice and fish. "

The introduction of the official website of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization on the System of Rice and Fish Systems

The evaluation is very high.

In 2005, the Qingtian rice fish symbiosis system was listed as the first batch of important agricultural cultural heritage in the world in the world.

In Qingtian, "rice and fish symbiosis" has become an important engine of the rich people of Qingtian Qiangcun. There is such a saying in the local area: "One acre of fields, hundreds of catty fish, jack on grain, 10,000 yuan", and such a set of statistics : As of June 2022, the fish farming industry covers an area of ​​80,000 acres, and the standardized rice field fish farming base is 35,000 acres. The annual comprehensive output value exceeds 500 million yuan.

In addition, the agricultural heritage of the Qingtian rice and fish symbiosis system has also extended to the tourism industry and cultural and creative industries, which not only brings the joy of bumper harvest to the local people, but also has more hope.

At the same time, it also walked out of the country and brought hope to the people in many countries around the world.

"People's Daily" reported: At the beginning of this century, through South -South cooperation, Nigeria introduced the rice field fish farming technology of "Zhejiang Qingtian Rice and Fish System". With the assistance of Chinese experts, the output of Nigeria rice and Luo Fei fish has almost doubled, which not only reduces rural poverty, but also allows local people to obtain high -quality food supply. Today, fish farming has been promoted to many countries and regions in Southeast Asia, South Asia, Europe, America and Africa.

By the way, following the Qingtian rice fish symbiosis system, in 2012, the ancient fragrance of the Hueiji Mountain in Shaoxing and the 2017 Huzhou Sanji Fish Pond system were also included in the global important agricultural cultural heritage list, respectively.

As of May 20, 2022, China had 18 important global agricultural cultural heritage, which is the world's first. Among them, there are three items in Zhejiang, "six points in the world", which is the province with the most important global agricultural cultural heritage in China.

Therefore, this heavy conference was held in Zhejiang. There is no doubt that it supports and affirmed Zhejiang's work.
