Journal of Modern Agriculture and Biotechnology

Agriculture and food are the cornerstones of a country's survival and development. Journal of Modern Agriculture and Biotechnology (JMAB, ISSN 2788-810X) is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal. Our topics include crop science, horticulture, plant protection, agro-ecosystem and environment, food science, agricultural economy and management, agricultural information science and so on. This article will talk about the recent development of bio-agriculture from several perspectives.

Plant protection
After nearly a hundred years of development, foreign new plant variety protection has formed two systems: plant patent protection and new plant variety protection. Through the free choice mode with the United States as the representative, we can choose the single protection of plant patents or new plant varieties, or double protection. 

In the past 40 years, China has implemented a number of policies and laws, especially the regulations on Wild Plant Protection and the National list of key protected Wild plants have been promulgated, which have established the legal and policy framework of plant protection in China. On-site protection is the first choice. Ex situ conservation refers to the way to protect endangered wild plants by means of introduction, propagation and so on.

Food safety
On June 22nd, the Chinese Society of Food Science and Technology and the International Union of Food Science and Technology held the 2022 International Conference on Food Safety and Health online. Ensuring the quality and safety of agricultural products is not only an important part of food safety, but also the basic guarantee of food safety. The healthy transformation of China's food industry needs the development of foods based on Chinese traditional food culture and the application of functional substances and raw materials with natural and health characteristics to meet the diversified needs of different people.

Food safety is the basic guarantee of health, and "flavor and health" is the development trend of food. More and more Chinese food will enter the market, at this time, what is needed is not only the innovation of food science and technology and the business community, but also the innovation of policy follow-up and management.

Information technology
Information technology has also infiltrated into agriculture. Some people say that agricultural drones are a sharp tool for new farmers, an excellent entrance to socialized services, and a golden key to smart agriculture and precision agriculture. Through the combination of aerial UAV, agricultural UAV and terminal analysis and management software, the situation of farmland and crops can be monitored in real time, and crop growth nutrition analysis, accurate variable rate fertilization and medicine can be realized. Drones make precision agriculture and digital agriculture within reach.

The rise of new agricultural operators, the high land turnover rate and the reform of agricultural materials market under the new situation are all favorable conditions for the development of UAV industry, and its future prospect is promising.

Low carbon agriculture
In recent years, China's green ecology-oriented low-carbon agriculture has gotten gradually accelerated development, and a series of green agricultural products have enriched people's vegetable baskets. Organic vegetables with zero carbon certification, free of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, have zero net greenhouse gas emissions in the production process, and consumers are making contributions to the goal of "double carbon" with every pack of organic vegetables they eat.

How to reduce agricultural carbon emissions from the source? All kinds of feed additives introduced by relevant departments through technical empowerment can reduce waste emissions and improve the utilization rate of raw materials in the process of animal production. For the phenomenon of greenhouse gas emissions caused by animal husbandry, the whole process from feed formula, animal protein processing to farm management can be controlled through the application of accurate livestock breeding tools in the whole industry chain of animal husbandry. 

In the future, under the background of "carbon neutralization", we need to promote the upgrading of rural industrial structure under the guidance of the concept of green and low-carbon development in rural areas.
