Development path of agricultural science and technology during the 13~(th) Five Year Plan in Guangxi

【Objective】The challenges of agricultural science and technology development in Guangxi were systematically analyzed and a corresponding development path was proposed to provide references for relevant departments to make decisions on agricultural science and technology development during the 13thFive Year Plan in Guangxi. 【Method】Based on the summarization of achievements, experiences, existing problems and challenges of agricultural science and technology development during the 12thFive Year Plan in Guangxi, the development path for agricultural science and technology during the 13thFive Year Plan in Guangxi was put forward. 【Result】The achievements of agricultural science and technology development during the12thFive Year Plan in Guangxi showed in the following aspects, which were construction of agricultural science and technology innovation service platform, promotion of the development of modern agricultural industry, implementation of major special projects of agricultural science and technology, ability construction of grass-roots agricultural science and technology,achievement transformation of agricultural science and technology, establishment of rural science and technology service system, optimization of science and technology innovation environment. However, some problems still existed, including imperfect mechanism of agricultural science and technology innovation, poor agricultural science and technology innovation ability,low transformation rate of agricultural science and technology achievements, lack of sustainable growth in agricultural science and technology investment, lag in agricultural science and technology innovation service development, shortage of high-level agricultural science and technology innovation talents and the challenges of industrialization and urbanization for rural management mechanism. 【Suggestion】A new type of agricultural science and technology innovation system, technology system of agricultural mechanization and modern breeding innovation system should be established in order to promote the sustainable development of agricultural science and technology during the 13thFive Year Plan in Guangxi. Furthermore, the suggestions included breeding of a new type of agricultural management body, improvement of agricultural industry technology system, re-inforcement of agricultural science and technology innovation, implementation of major special projects of agricultural science and technology, enhancement of grass-roots science and technology ability construction and mechanism innovation, and improvement of agricultural science and technology cooperation and communication at home and abroad.
