With the continuous and in-depth implementation of the rural revitalization strategy in Beijing, there have been significant changes in agricultural production space and industrial scale. In 2022, Beijing has re optimized and established 11 modern agricultural industrial technology system Beijing innovation teams, including 7 industrial innovation teams (facility vegetables, grain crops, edible fungi, characteristic crops, livestock, poultry, fishery), 4 functional innovation teams (landscape leisure, digital agriculture, ecological cycle and low-carbon development, industrial economy and policies).

Next, the 11 innovation teams in Beijing will focus on three main areas of work: firstly, benchmarking the advanced levels at home and abroad, focusing on the requirements of Beijing’s agricultural and rural modernization development, establishing a new agricultural research organization model, focusing on solving key, prominent, and common problems that hinder the development of agricultural science and technology, and promoting the modernization of the agricultural industry in the suburbs of Beijing; The second is to focus on the key goals of industrial development in Beijing in the new era, carry out collaborative research, integrated demonstration, and promotion work around the urgent needs of industrial development, and serve the development of the agricultural industry; The third is to implement the main responsibility of the project, face the needs of the industry and the forefront of technology, strengthen collaborative innovation and services, and continuously achieve new results.
