China, with a large population and small amount of arable land, is a populous as well as a large agricultural country. In order to ensure food security, agricultural sustainable development and prosperity of agriculture economy, modern agriculture based on biotechnology combined with modern equipment must be developed. Only in that way can we achieve intensive management and establish a resource efficiently-utilized and environment-friendly society. According to the developing history, experience of biotechnology and modern agriculture both at home and abroad, we suggest that establishing a biotech-modern agriculture country should become a national development goal of China.

Key words: Biotechnology, modern agriculture, agricultural modernization, national development goal.
