In the 1950s, the Chinese government proposed various methods to improve agricultural production. According to the official decision of January 1956, twelve measures needed to be taken to increase production. These consisted of: build up irrigation; increase application of fertilizer; improve old-style tools and develop new tools; promote superior seed strains; expand multiple-cropping areas; produce more high-yield crops; practice intensive cultivation and improve farming methods; improve soil; conserve water and soil; protect and propagate farm animals; eliminate pests and plant diseases; reclaim wasteland and increase the farming area.
According to Mao Zedong, these measures could be condensed in eight words: tu, fei, shui, zhong, mi, bao, guan, gong (soil improvement, fertilizer application, water conservancy, seed-strain improvement, close planting, plant protection, field management and tool reform). As a result, the Eight-Point Charter of Agriculture was drawn up in 1958. Judging by the poster above, published in 1974, the measures were still considered relevant in the 1970s.
