Chapter 2991: Building a modern powerhouse in animal husbandry and agriculture
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 within the region, 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, they have relatively strong consumption capacity for meat products. 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 the country and region. This is also the reason why the breeding industry in those countries and regions is so developed.
After finishing what he said, Shen Ning took a sip of water from his assistant and gave everyone some time to digest before continuing his sermon.
"As for your northwest region, it has a vast territory. Although the natural environment is not as bad as that of those countries and regions, it is more advantageous in that it is vast and sparsely populated.
After hearing Professor Zhang Chengwang's words, everyone present nodded in agreement. It must be said that Professor Zhang's reassurance is justified. This is also the consistent face of certain countries, and they have long been accustomed to it.
Even if Haili's control over that aspect is weak at home, just imagine how Haili, especially those major interest countries, will react once you start planting and raising livestock and poultry on a small scale.
I am sure you can use the forage cultivated through gene editing technology to plant and cultivate some small grasslands and pastures in the desert Gobi areas of the northwest to promote and improve the development of the local breeding industry, thereby turning the entire northwest region into your country's meat products
Production base and food production base.
First of all, it is not the driving role of the entire industry in the local economy. In addition, it can also create a lot of jobs and drive the people in that area to become rich."
I am sure you can achieve self-sufficiency, otherwise you will not be able to get rid of the country's control over you, and your words will not be true, and you will be threatened and blackmailed by the other party.
That is wrong. Deputy Director Cheng continued what Zhang Jun said: "As long as the project is not conducive to national development, ten to seventy years, even seventy years, means nothing.
After listening to the words of those people, 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 are overestimating their own capabilities, they will be caught by the wheel."
Crush and crush.
So if we want to develop to the stage he just mentioned, I'm afraid it will take a long time, ten to seventy years, or even seventy years before we can see some results."
But the question is whether it can be realized. First of all, even if their drought-resistant super pastures are successfully cultivated, is it really dangerous? That is still a question.
That aspect may not be reflected in normal times, at least due to price changes, but once a war breaks out or the world is turbulent, it will be reflected.
Each generation does not have a mission, and each generation does not have a responsibility. So the mission and responsibility of your generation, or the mission and responsibility of your generation of farmers and foresters, is not to build a modern weak country in animal husbandry and agriculture, but to use you
You think it’s worth the risk of one generation in exchange for the hunger of previous generations of your children and in exchange for the wealth of hundreds of millions of people in the entire northwest region.”
Although there are still certainties and unknowns in gene editing technology and transgenic technology at present, you think the future development of agriculture and animal husbandry lies in those two technologies.”
After listening to Shen Ning's explanation, everyone present nodded and started thinking in unison.
Yes, it may be difficult to obtain approval, and even more difficult for the public to accept it. Especially over the long term, the public has had huge discrimination and misunderstandings about genetically modified food itself, and it is difficult to reverse that situation.
The significance of that is definitely very small. First of all, it is not a national food crisis. The food crisis covers a wide range, and it is only limited to staple foods, not including vegetables, livestock and poultry meat products. The lack of any of those things can be
, they together form the total source of food in your country and feed a population of 1.7 billion.
So if you spend ten to seventy years, even if it takes seventy years to build a country with weak animal husbandry and grain industries, then it doesn't matter. Is it fast? You think it is fast.
Secondly, it cannot save your country a small amount of export costs of grain and livestock and poultry products every year, and increase foreign exchange expenses.
For a long time, Professor Zhang Chengwang sighed, and then shook his head and said: "The idea is very bad, but it can definitely be realized. This will have a great impact on your country's food industry, dietary structure, national strategy, economic development, and social and people's livelihood."
None of them have a very huge pro-retroactive effect.
As long as you don't have that New Year, that time doesn't mean anything."
Apart from you, other developed countries have experienced smooth development. It took us decades, hundreds, or even hundreds of years to achieve leadership.
I am afraid that once they feel threatened, they will spare no effort to attack you and eliminate you. In this case, that party will definitely become a tool for the other party to attack and frame you, and it will also become a reason to ban you.
Your country is very cautious about genetically modified and gene-edited products, especially when it comes to food hazards. Therefore, it will take time to implement them on a small scale, and it will take a long time.
As the saying goes, if a person has long-term worries, he will not have immediate worries. The same is true for countries. You must make relevant preparations, so that you will be difficult and vulnerable to situations and environments that may occur in the future.
At that time, Zhang Junze, who had been standing by silently, suddenly said: "Ten years and seventy years, even seventy years, is it really a long time? Compared with the rejuvenation and development of a nation and a country, it is a long time."
.
In this way, you cannot achieve self-sufficiency in domestic food and meat products, and you can even use it to retreat from exports, turning from a country that exports meat products and food to an exporting country.
