China will strive to tackle problems related to seeds and farmlands as one of its key economic tasks for 2021, a key meeting said. To ensure food security, the country will strengthen the protection and utilization of germplasm resources and the construction of seed banks, according to the annual Central Economic Work Conference, which concluded on Dec 18. The country will also continue to prevent the use of arable land for non-farming purposes, it said.

要加强农业与科技融合，让农民用最好的技术种出最好的粮食。要采取有效措施切实把黑土地保护好、利用好。

We should strengthen the integration of agriculture and technology, so that farmers can use the best technology to grow top-quality grains. Effective measures should be made to protect and utilize the high-yielding black soil.
