It urged accelerating the transformation of agricultural development mode.
Instead of mainly pursuing high output and relying on resources consumption, China should put equal emphasis on quantity, quality and benefits, and attach importance to competitiveness, technological innovation and sustainable growth, it said.
The document urged making the transition as quickly as possible.
The goal is to blaze a modern agriculture development path featuring high efficiency, product safety, resource saving and environment friendliness, said the document.
To transform the development mode, the document calls for deepening agricultural restructuring, raising the quality and safety levels of agricultural products, strengthening the role of science and technological innovation, and innovating the circulation patterns of farm produce.
China's current way of cultivation has over-exploited the fertility of the farmland and the unsustainable mode is coming to an end, said Zhu.
The second major task is to boost farmers' income.
China will increase investment in the agriculture sector and the countryside, boost the effectiveness of agricultural subsidy policies, improve the pricing mechanism for farm produce and enhance supporting services, said the document.
"These measures will further activate rural resources and help farmers to increase their income," said Dang Guoying, a senior researcher with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS).
The third task is to accelerate the building of new socialist countryside.
The government will boost rural infrastructure building, raise public service levels in rural areas, improve rural environment, and encourage more social capital investment in rural development.
