The second-review draft of the amended Agricultural Law was submitted for consideration at the 24th meeting of the 14th NPC Standing Committee on the 25th. The draft seeks to bolster support for agriculture and the rural economy by promoting coordinated development of technology-driven, green, quality and branded agriculture; safeguarding seed-industry security and modernizing seed systems; and raising agricultural-insurance coverage and service quality. It encourages integration of IoT, artificial intelligence and other new technologies into agricultural production, operations and management. The draft also calls for strengthened rural construction and governance, including promotion of public-security-focused 'safe village' initiatives to enhance rural social order and household welfare. Finally, it proposes supporting international agricultural exchanges and cooperation and active Chinese participation in international governance on sustainable agriculture and food security.
