The Rural Vitalization Strategic Plan (2018-22) was released on September 26, spelling out five key vitalization tasks involving rural industries, talent, culture, ecosystem and organizations. It also set a three-step goal. By 2020, the institutional framework and policy systems of rural vitalization will have taken shape; by 2035, rural vitalization will have made decisive progress and the modernization of agriculture and rural areas will be basically realized; by 2050, rural areas will have been vitalized and beautified in an all-round way, agriculture will be strong and farmers affluent.
The rural vitalization strategy was first put forward at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in October 2017. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council made comprehensive arrangements for implementing the strategy in a joint document in January.
