“ We call for the implementation of a strategy to build a science and technology powerhouse and vigorously promote innovation in land-related technologies. 12 Moon 16 At the Land Science and Technology Innovation Symposium held in Beijing, Sun Jiulin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a researcher at the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, read out, on behalf of the attending academicians and experts, the “Recommendations of Academicians and Experts on Strengthening Land Science and Technology Innovation,” calling for the comprehensive implementation of these recommendations. “ Three deep, one earth ” The science and technology innovation strategy will vigorously promote land-related scientific and technological innovation, leveraging original land-tech innovations to address the longstanding challenges in land resource management amid sustained high-speed development.

　　The proposal points out that land resources constitute the most critical material foundation for national security. Given our country’s limited endowment of natural resources and the rapid depletion of land resources, the conflict between population and land is deepening, and there is an urgent need to transform land management practices. We must fully recognize the seriousness of land resource security issues and the importance of supporting them through technological innovation. It is essential to establish and improve a national land science and technology innovation system and accelerate efforts to align with world-class advanced levels in land-related scientific and technological innovation.

　　The proposal points out that China has a large population and limited land resources, with per capita resource availability severely insufficient. To safeguard national food security, ecological security, and resource security, and to drive quality, efficiency, and driving force transformations toward high-quality development, we must strengthen our capacity for original innovation in land science and technology, maximize the vitality of innovation actors, and adopt extraordinary measures to propel land science and technology innovation to achieve leapfrog development. In the new era, land science and technology innovation should serve the supply-side structural reform of land resources, injecting new momentum into enhancing the carrying capacity of the ecological environment and optimizing the spatial layout of land development. It should also be integrated into coordinated regional development, providing new approaches to implementing the new urbanization strategy and the rural revitalization strategy, and promoting the efficient utilization of land resources. Moreover, it should support the construction of an ecological civilization by strengthening source protection of land resources, leaving more green mountains and clear waters for future generations, and ensuring the preservation of arable land in terms of quantity, quality, and ecology. “ Trinity ” Protection provides new technologies.

　　The proposal calls for innovation to adopt a global perspective and to engage in top-level design aimed at addressing the major scientific challenges of our time. —— To effectively implement the National Key Research and Development Program. “ Land Resource Security and Management ” Key special projects—strive to use. 10 Within about a decade, we will enter the global forefront of land technology innovation; innovation is inseparable from platform development. —— To address the issue of secure management and control of land resources, we should implement a national land science and technology platform development plan, accelerate the construction of key national laboratories, national field scientific observation stations, national technological innovation platforms, and international joint research centers. The core of innovation lies in talent, while its foundation resides in disciplines. —— We must accelerate the development of land science disciplines and cultivate high-level innovative talent by implementing the National Land Science and Technology Discipline Development Plan. Innovation cannot be separated from a scientific foundation. —— We must implement a national program to popularize land science and technology knowledge, placing science communication on an equal footing with technological innovation. We should fully harness the power of all sectors of society to disseminate land-related knowledge to the entire population, thereby promoting the sustainable utilization and development of land resources.
