Abstract: During the 11th Five-year Plan period, China’s agricultural productivity improved on all levels; the contribution rate of technologies to agriculture rose steadily,
the agricultural service system was gradually restored and agricultural policy regimes were consummated. However, China’s sustainable agricultural development faces severe tests such as agri-tech “short slabs” and poor collaborative operation. The 12 th Five-year Plan period will bring both strategic opportunities and challenges. Brisker market demands and more agricultural inputs, a higher technical level and better policy regimes will drive development. On the other hand, agriculture will be confronted with more resource and environment constraints, fewer traditional comparative advantages and hidden hazards, etc. Over the next five years, China should stay its course to agricultural modernization based on its national conditions and the sustainable development concept and establish a “broad interpretation of grain security” to improve the productivity, risk-resistance capabilities and market competitiveness of its agricultural industry.

Key words: agricultural modernization, a “broad interpretation of grain security” and comprehensive productivity
