This 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030) for Accelerating Agricultural and Rural Modernization is a sectoral policy document at the national level. The Plan emphasizes food security, rural revitalization, urban–rural integration, technological innovation, green development, poverty alleviation consolidation, and improvements in rural living conditions. Its objective is to accelerate the integrated modernization of agriculture and rural areas, consolidate rural poverty-alleviation results, strengthen food security and production capacity, and advance the construction of an agricultural power and rural revitalization.
The Plan sets out concrete measures across production capacity, supply structure and quality, food systems diversification, cultivated land protection and soil improvement, disaster risk reduction, and international cooperation. It calls for boosting grain and major commodity yields, optimizing crop structure, promoting high-standard farmland, modernizing irrigation and large-scale irrigation districts, strengthening seed industry and intellectual property protection for varieties, and enhancing livestock and fisheries management. Environmental and green transitions are emphasized through precision fertilizer use, reduced veterinary antimicrobial use, soil pollution remediation, carbon reduction and mechanisms for valuing agricultural ecological assets. The Plan also promotes digitalization, AI in agriculture, agricultural machinery innovation, and the development of agricultural value chains and processing, employment and income growth, ecological protection, green production, rural infrastructure, public services, education, healthcare, elderly care, and rural governance. In addition, it outlines policies on investment, finance, land-system reform, support for new agricultural business entities, and capacity building.
