Weiyuan County is located in the middle of Gansu Province, southwest of Dingxi City, where the hilly and gully region of the Loess Plateau meets the western Qinling Mountains. This is the birthplace of Weihe River, the largest tributary of the Yellow River, and the watershed between Weihe River and Taohe River. It has obvious continental monsoon climate, complex climate types and diverse landform types, including forest ecosystem, grassland ecosystem, wetland ecosystem, farmland ecosystem and urban ecosystem. At present, the total amount of forest ecosystem in this county is small, the structure is single and the human disturbance is great; Grassland ecosystem is fragile, animal and plant species are scarce, the structure is single, the food chain is too simple, and the ecosystem service function is low; Wetland ecosystem has a small scope, mostly rivers, reservoirs and fish ponds; Farmland ecosystem structure is simple, and economic development lags behind. Although the development of potato, Chinese herbal medicine, livestock and grass and other advantageous industries has achieved certain results, there are also problems such as low level of industrialization, small scale and low efficiency. Although tourism resources are abundant, the market operation level is not high and the infrastructure construction is not perfect; Urban ecosystem has high energy, high density, large flow, fast operation and weak self-regulation ability. In short, in order to accelerate the leap-forward development of Weiyuan county's economy, we must have a good ecological environment atmosphere.
Focusing on the spirit of the document jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Forestry Administration, the county party committee and the county government seized this rare historical opportunity and set up a leading group for the pilot county construction of ecological civilization demonstration project with the main leaders of the county as members in time. Established a detailed management system. Determined to improve the quality of the ecological environment and build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society, we will fully implement the sustainable development strategy, follow the ecological laws and the concept of circular economy, grasp the three major points of environmental protection, ecological construction and circular economy, strengthen the protection and construction of the ecological environment, adjust the industrial structure, change the development mode and optimize the consumption mode as the fundamental means, implement the development concept of "environment promoting economy and economic protecting environment", and accelerate the development of industries with distinctive advantages. Actively advocate green consumption, continuously enhance the carrying capacity of resources and environment, gradually form an ecological culture of harmonious development between man and nature, cultivate an economic development model with ecological economy as the main body, establish perfect rules and regulations to protect natural ecological security, and create a new situation of economic development, affluent life, good ecology and social civilization in Weiyuan County.
The construction of ecological civilization mainly revolves around five aspects: the protection and construction of ecological environment, the adjustment of industrial structure, the transformation of development mode, the optimization of consumption mode, the construction of ecological culture system and the support system of ecological civilization construction.
1 ecological protection and construction
Three state-owned forest farms, such as Beizhai Town and Da 'an Township1/township and Huichuan, Wuzhu and Lianfeng, have implemented the ecological vegetation restoration project of the forest at the source of Weihe River. Following the principle of suitable site and suitable trees, the dominant afforestation tree species such as spruce, larch, seabuckthorn and Caragana korshinskii were selected to carry out large-scale forest vegetation restoration and management in Weiyuan County. The main implementation projects include artificial afforestation and closing hillsides to facilitate afforestation. In order to better protect the ecological environment, the county has strengthened the management and protection of forest and grass resources, implemented closing hillsides and forbidding grazing, advocated the development of house breeding, carried out comprehensive prevention and control of forest fires and real-time monitoring of forest diseases and insect pests, and ensured the safety of forest and grass resources. Towns such as Xiacheng, Beizhai, Lianfeng, Shangwan, Majijia and so on will return cultivated land with a slope of more than 25 degrees to forests.
2 Ecological agriculture
In accordance with the requirements of new rural construction of "production development, affluent life, civilized rural customs, clean village appearance and democratic management", we will focus on infrastructure construction, make great efforts to promote the equalization of rural public services and greatly improve the comprehensive agricultural production capacity. Carry out improved seed breeding and standardized planting of Codonopsis pilosula for 350 hm2.
3500 hm2, full-film potato planting and popularization of 3500 hm2, the construction of Codonopsis pilosula R&D and testing center, Codonopsis pilosula seedling breeding greenhouse and Codonopsis pilosula trading information release center, the implementation of Weiyuan county agricultural product quality and safety supervision and testing system construction project, the construction of testing laboratory, virus detection and safety evaluation station for virus-free potato seed potatoes, seed quality detection and control station, and supporting experimental field for disease nursery, etc. The establishment of potato information network service center and potato R&D center in Weiyuan county further improved the popularity of potatoes in Weiyuan county. Actively promote ecological agriculture such as organic agricultural products, green agricultural products and pollution-free agricultural products, and actively promote solar energy-saving greenhouses, plastic greenhouses, vegetable standard parks and vegetable wholesale markets. To solve the bottleneck obstacles in production, transportation and sales.
3 Soil and water conservation and water source protection
We will conscientiously implement the national comprehensive agricultural development, the construction of terraces in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, the comprehensive control of soil erosion in sloping farmland, and the key construction projects of soil and water conservation. Increase the construction of the whole village, change the slope into a ladder, improve the soil, develop supplementary cultivated land, and at the same time support the roads in the fields and villages. New river embankment projects, sand dams, retaining dams, etc. ; Implement urban roads and drainage projects in Weiyuan County, build new road drainage projects, and build ancillary facilities such as buried pipe network, greening and lighting; Implement the prevention and control project of mountain torrents in Weiyuan County to create a safe and comfortable ecological living environment for the people of the county.
