希望在山区

人们都在思考、议论、探讨我国农业面临的严峻形势和出路问题。人口在继续增长,耕地在继续减少,而耕地的后备资源又非常有限;水资源不足,发展水田和水浇地受到很大限制。城市闹水荒,又将进一步影响农业用水,这已是世界上最为突出的问题。仅靠耕地来解决人民生活和经济建设需要是困难的,使八亿农民富裕起来,难度就更大,这是勿庸置疑的。十三大政治报告指出,我国农村还处在开发时期,许多资源还没有合理利用,潜力很大,农林牧副渔各业和乡镇企业的发展前景都是十分广阔的。但如何开发,又如何利用很大的潜力来解决严峻的农业形势,对这些问题应认真作具体分析和探讨。

Expectations in Mountain Areas.

From the viewpoint of theory and practice, making a good management in mountain and hilly areas is the way out for the solution of China's agriculture. Mountain areas are rich in resources and productive potentials and may produce great economic and ecological benefits if correct policy and reasonable management are practised in these areas.
