Team name
Rural Revitalization Strategy Research Center
Principal Investigators
Research Objectives
Mission
l Conducting research on agricultural modernization strategies and policies
l Conducting strategic and policy studies on rural modernization
l Building a prototype model of Shandong's rural revitalization strategy
l Organizing major forums and academic exchanges at home and abroad
In pursuit of advancing the modernization of agriculture, fostering rural development, and promoting the overall prosperity of farmers, we conduct theoretical and empirical research on fundamental, forward-looking, and strategic issues for rural revitalization through the innovations in S&T, institution and policy.
Partners
The Center collaborates with the China Center for Agricultural Policy Research (CCAP) and the New Rural Development Institute (NRDI) of Peking University, both are the renowned research centers in agricultural economics and policy at home and abroad. CCAP has consistently secured the top position in agricultural economics research in Asia, as indicated by the IDEAS ranking of global agricultural economic institutes. NRDI, a distinguished think tank on agricultural development, is comprised of key faculty members and researchers from 11 faculties and departments at Peking University, and plays a pivotal role in supporting the nation in formulating pertinent policies.

Research Projects
In alignment with the national and Shandong's rural revitalization strategy, and with the objective of advancing agricultural and rural reform and innovation while expediting agricultural informatization and smart technologies, we are currently carrying out a project titled "Land Institution and Technological Innovations to Enhance the Qilu Development Prototype Mode." The project aims to identify policy measures that will foster agricultural and rural development, ultimately contributing to the broader initiative of rural revitalization not only in Weifang but also in Shandong Province and other regions across China. The project endeavors to establish "Weifang Wisdom and Qilu Power" as key contributors to the overall success of rural revitalization efforts.
Research on land trusteeship and other institutional innovations and their impacts. This investigation includes the following dimensions:
1. Formation Process Analysis: Examining the development stages and structures of incentive arrangements within the land trusteeship system innovations.
2. Factors Influencing Institutional Innovations: Clearly delineating the key factors that influence the emergence and evolution of diverse forms of institutional innovations of land systems.
3. Livelihood and Income Impacts: Investigating the effects of different forms of land trusteeship on the livelihoods and incomes of various farmer types, considering aspects such as production and employment.
4. Productivity and Efficiency Assessment: Analyzing the impacts of land trusteeship on the productivity and efficiency of food production.
5. Improvement Strategies: Exploring ways to enhance land trusteeship system innovations, aiming to foster farmers' income growth and contribute to rural revitalization.
The research underscores the crucial role of institutional innovation and incentive mechanisms in raising farmers' income and ensuring food security. It aims to propose viable paths and policy measures to innovate the Qilu development prototype model, thereby serving as a comprehensive framework for advancing agricultural practices and rural development.
Research on the development and impacts of smart agriculture and digital rural, primarily focus on the following:
1. Scoping Analysis: Focusing on diverse areas such as field production, facility agriculture, rural finance, agricultural marketing, consumption, and rural governance.
2. Current Situation Study: Investigating the present status of digital technology adoption in the realms of agricultural and rural development, assessing potential demand, economic benefits, and identifying developmental bottlenecks.
3. Case Studies: Examining typical cases of digital agriculture, scrutinizing their development models, and proposing efficient ways to leverage digital technology in agriculture.
4. Model Enhancement: Proposing research on the typical cases and development models of digital agriculture and rural, and suggesting development paths, institutional mechanisms, and policy support systems to upgrade theQilu development prototype model and contribute to rural revitalization.
This research aims to provide valuable insights into the adoption of digital technology across various sectors of agriculture and rural development. By analyzing current situations, potential benefits, and challenges, the goal is to formulate recommendations to advance the Qilu development prototype model and to promote it in the national rural revitalization campaign.
