Recently, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made important instructions, stressing that it is necessary to further popularize Zhejiang’s good experience and practices and build an ecologically livable beautiful countryside in combination with the implementation of the three-year action plan for rural human settlements improvement and the rural revitalization strategy.

Renovation of rural human settlements is an important task to implement the rural revitalization strategy.
Ecological livability is the key to rural revitalization. Han Changfu said that the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the action of improving rural human settlements, which is a major task to implement the rural revitalization strategy and a basic requirement for building a well-off society in an all-round way.
"At present, agricultural and rural development has entered a new stage, and the problems of unbalanced urban and rural development and insufficient rural development are still outstanding." Han Changfu said, "We must take unconventional measures, take the rural revitalization strategy as the general starting point, adhere to the priority development of agriculture and rural areas, speed up the short-legged short board of agricultural and rural development, speed up the modernization of agriculture and rural areas, and prevent the rural areas from dying in the process of urbanization."

Han Changfu said that a good living environment is the ardent expectation of the majority of farmers. Protecting the green mountains and rural scenery and retaining the unique local flavor and rural style are the top priorities for rural revitalization. It is necessary to vigorously promote the improvement of rural human settlements, and promote infrastructure such as water, electricity, roads, gas, housing and telecommunications to extend to the countryside, so as to give farmers a clean and beautiful home.

In this reform of the party and state institutions, the central government handed over the lead task of rural human settlements improvement to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, which felt a great responsibility.
"A good ecological environment is the greatest advantage and precious wealth in rural areas."

According to Han Changfu, in recent years, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has vigorously implemented major actions such as livestock manure treatment, straw plastic film recycling, fertilizer and pesticide reduction and efficiency improvement, and promoted the improvement of rural living environment with new achievements in agricultural green development.
In view of the outstanding problems such as disorderly discharge of livestock manure, straw burning and agricultural film pollution, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has integrated more than 6 billion yuan of funds to vigorously promote the resource utilization of agricultural waste. In 2017, it supported 51 large animal husbandry counties to promote the treatment of livestock manure, promoted the comprehensive utilization of straw in 71 corn-producing counties in Northeast China, and built 100 agricultural film recycling demonstration counties in Northwest China to promote the resource utilization of agricultural waste from point to point and create a good living environment for farmers.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs vigorously implemented the zero growth action of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, selected 100 major counties producing fruit, vegetables and tea to implement the pilot project of replacing chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers, and 150 key counties to carry out the whole process of green prevention and control pilot projects. At present, the use of pesticides in the country has been negative for three consecutive years, and the use of chemical fertilizers has achieved negative growth in 2017. "This is a landmark turning point, which means that the impact of chemical fertilizers and pesticides on the environment has been controlled." Han Changfu said.
He also said that in the future, it is necessary to make new achievements in the comprehensive management of outstanding environmental problems in rural areas, carry out agricultural green development actions, realize the reduction of inputs, clean production, recycling of wastes, and ecologicalization of industrial models, and accelerate the formation of an idyllic ecosystem with a combination of planting and breeding, ecological cycle and beautiful environment.
