Rural revitalization and the creation of the beautiful prospect of urban and rural residents' common prosperity
On March 8 a year ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized for the deliberation of the Sichuan Delegation on the Fifth Session of the Twelfth National People's Congress, Sichuan can't lose the gold-lettered signboard of "Agriculture Province", but should take the lead in working hard for the organizational reform of agricultural supply, and propel the step from Agriculture Province to Strong Agriculture Province.
Sino-French Agricultural Science and Technology Park, located in Jinjiang, Pengshan District, Meishan, next to the Pengzu Mountain and Jiangkou Town, not only has profound historical culture, legendary millennium treasure, but also has Peng Zu's health preservation culture. In recent years, OCT follows the strategy of "culture + tourism + urbanization", abides by the "land ethics of sustainable development", adheres to the "people-oriented" development concept, respects, protects and integrates the local historical culture, and in the west and even the whole country, it has built up a batch of cultural tourism towns with benchmarking significance, which has enhanced the cultural absorbability and industrial convergence ability of Chinese villages.
The combination with Meishan's dominant agriculture is a highlight of the Sino-French Agricultural Science and Technology Park. The Meishan Area of Tianfu New Area located by the project has a long history of agricultural production. When driving from Chengdu to the south for an hour, you can see 10,000 acres of vineyards. The Pengshan grape in Meishan is an online celebrity product. In the future Sino-French Agricultural Science and Technology Park, Pengshan grape and French grape encounter, and a variety of advantageous agricultural products in Sichuan will be put on the global dining tables. Through this project, OCT, as the central enterprise, brings not only hundreds of billions of investment and international industry to the local agriculture, but also a great opportunity to polish the Sichuan agricultural gold-lettered signboard again.
As early as 2015, the Sino-French Agricultural Science and Technology Park was shown in the Climate Conference in Paris and amazed all sides. It was listed as a memorandum of cooperation between the local governments of China and France and became a key project promoted by the local governments of both countries. In 2018, the project was listed as one of the 100 key projects in Sichuan Province. The project is based on the ecological scenery and implanted the exotic atmosphere, echoes the local humanity history in Meishan, and deeply combines the health care culture of Pengshan for thousands of years to create a cultural tourism industry. The related person in charge of the OCT project has said, relying on the absorption and radiation ability of the large project, the new cultural vitality will be injected into the rural cultural construction of the Meishan Area of Tianfu New Area and a richer cultural connotation will be given. Integrating the local culture and ecological landscape, the built Sino-French Agricultural Science and Technology Park constructs the beauty of "seeing mountains, seeing water, remembering homesickness, keeping the memory of the city, and realizing the common prosperity of urban and rural residents".
