年愈七旬的中国工程院院士袁隆平,毕生致力于用科技手段提高水稻单产并因此享有“杂交水稻之父”的美誉。最近他主持的超级杂交稻研究获得亩产800公斤的重大突破。然而,说到粮食生产,尽管袁老眉宇间豪情依旧,但言谈中仍掩不住对粮食耕种面积减少、农民种粮积极性下降、农技推广网薄弱等现状的丝丝忧虑。 Yuan Longping, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, who is in his mid-1970s, devoted his life to improving the yield of rice by means of science and technology and thus enjoying the reputation of “the father of hybrid rice.” He recently led the super hybrid rice research to obtain a major breakthrough of 800 kg per mu. However, when it comes to food production, despite the pride and lust between Yuan Laomei and Yu, the talk still can not hide the slightest concern about the current situation of the area of ​​grain cultivation, the enthusiasm of farmers for grain cultivation and the weakness of agricultural extension network.
