推进农村城镇化是改造“弱质性”中国农业的现实选择

Promoting the urbanization of rural area is a realistic option of reforming agriculture in China

农业相对于其他产业,受到自然和市场风险的双重约束,处于不利地位。我国农业由于自然风险大,经营规模小,科技素质低等原因而表现出更强的弱质性。农业的基础地位与弱质性缺陷成为我国农业以至整个国民经济发展中一对尖锐的矛盾。农村城镇化有利于农业实现规模经营,有利于农村二、三产业发展,因此,是改造我国农业弱质性的突破点。加快农村城镇化步伐,不仅要有资金和政策投入,而且要促进制度创新和经济发展,当前还应大力实施乡村工业向城镇工业过渡战略和"农民新居"战略。
