Introduction

   


With the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization, China has shown a development bias of ‘emphasizing cities over villages’ and one-way flow of urban and rural elements for a long time. The rural development, agricultural efficiency improvement, and farmers’ income increase have become the coreissues that must be solved in the context of the urban-rural integration development strategy in China. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that the issues of agriculture, rural areas and farmers are fundamental issues related to the national economy and people’s livelihood. It requires that solving the farmers, rural areas and agricultural issues be the top priority of the government’s work and implement the rural vitalization strategy. The modernization of agriculture and rural areas and the priority development of rural areas have become the breakthrough point for the country to solve the problems ofagriculture, rural areas and farmers. It is the disciplinary mission of agricultural geography and rural geography to comprehensively and deeply discuss the solutions to farmers, rural areas and agricultural issues and the scientific theory of rural vitalization.

On a global scale, with the process ofurbanization, the vast rural areas are facing problems such as the weakening of the subject of development, the thinning of the rural population, the pollution of the rural environment, and the decline of agricultural economic development. It seen that the farmers, rural areas and agricultural issues have become a global problem. Rural vitalization has also become an important strategy for global rural development. Among them, Japan, South Korea and other developed countries have taken the lead in experiencing the rural construction movement. Scholars from developed countries have carried out a series of studies on the vitalization of rural industries, spatial reconstruction, rural resilience, farmers’ livelihood, social governance, discourse construction of other vulnerable groups, and have also achieved certain results in theoretical construction. Chinese scholars have also carried out a lot of studies on China’s rural areas, agricultural and rural vitalization issues, such as the evolution mechanism of ‘hollow villages’, rural human-environment relationship, rural reconstruction and land use transformation, the formation and evolution mechanism of specialized villages, agricultural industrial clusters. Major research topics for SDGs in the new era, in the strategic needs of national ecological civilization construction, green and high-quality development. The key period for the country to promote the effective connection between poverty alleviation and ruralvitalization. It is necessary to further focus on farmers, rural areas and agricultural issues and rural vitalization in China, deepening the theoretical construction, summarizing the practical model, telling the story of rural vitalizationin China. And promote the discipline development of agricultural geography and rural geography, and better serve rural vitalization, sustainable developmentof agriculture and rural areas in China.

专刊背景


   

   

     
     
伴随工业化和城市化的快速发展，中国长期以来呈现出“重城轻乡”及城乡要素单向流动的发展偏向，农村发展、农业增效、农民增收等问题成为了城乡融合发展战略指向背景下亟待解决的核心问题。十九大报告指出，农业、农村、农民问题是关系国计民生的根本性问题，必须始终把解决好“三农”问题作为全党工作的重中之重，亦需大力实施乡村振兴战略。农业农村现代化和农村优先发展成为国家解决三农问题的重要抓手，全面深入探讨中国三农问题的解决方案与乡村振兴的科学理论，是农业地理学和乡村地理学的学科使命。
在全球范围内，伴随城市化进程，广大农村地区面临着发展主体弱化、农村人口过疏化、农村环境污损化、农业经济发展衰退等问题，可见“三农”问题已成为一个全球性问题，乡村振兴已成为全球乡村发展的重要战略，具有普遍性，日本、韩国等发达国家已率先经历了乡村建设运动。发达国家学者针对乡村产业振兴、空间重构、乡村韧性、农民生计、社会治理、他者弱势群体话语建构等方面开展了一系列研究，在理论建构方面也取得了一定成果。中国学者针对中国“三农问题”和乡村振兴问题亦开展了大量研究，譬如“空心村”的演化机理、乡村人地关系地域、乡村振兴规划多体系统、乡村重构与土地利用转型、专业村形成与演化机理、农业产业集群等。新时代面向SDGs的重大研究议题，置身于国家生态文明建设、绿色化高质量发展的战略需求，以及国家推进脱贫攻坚与乡村振兴有效衔接的关键时期，进一步聚焦中国“三农”问题和乡村振兴的专题研究，深化理论建构、归纳总结实践模式，讲好“中国乡村振兴”故事，输出乡村地理学学科智慧，将有力推动农业地理学与乡村地理学的学科发展，更好地服务于中国乡村振兴和农业农村可持续发展。
