In October, residents of the Southern Urals will take part in an agricultural dictation, which is being organized for the first time and will be timed to coincide with the Day of Agricultural and Processing Industry Workers.
The first All-Russian Agrodictation will be available on the portal agrodictant.rf and at offline sites in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation from October 8 to 12, when the Week of the Agro-Industrial Complex will be held in Moscow.
Offline, the agrodictation will be organized on the basis of schools, institutions of secondary vocational education, universities, as well as regional branches of JSC Rosselkhozbank in all municipal districts of the Chelyabinsk Region. A regional support site for organizing and conducting the dictation will be determined soon.
The project is being implemented with the support of the federal party project "Russian Village" of the United RUSSIA party and the general sponsor - JSC Rosselkhozbank. The event is also supported by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the Association of Agricultural Producers "People's Farmer" and other representatives of the agricultural community.
Participants will be asked to answer 30 questions from various branches of agriculture, including: soil and melioration, crop production and plant protection, livestock farming and breeding, feed and veterinary medicine, fisheries and aquaculture, infrastructure and rural areas, food production, EXPORT of agricultural products, digitalization of agriculture, equipment for the agricultural sector and agricultural machinery , agritourism. A special feature of the agrodictation will be the reflection of regional specifics.
"For residents of the region, participation in the agrodictation is an opportunity not only to test their knowledge, but also to get to know the modern and technologically advanced agro-industrial complex better," the Deputy Governor is sure.Minister of Agriculture of the Chelyabinsk Region Alexey Kobilin. - Today, it is especially important to shape citizens' perception of the agricultural sector not only as the basis of food security, but also as a promising area for professional and personal development. I think that educational projects such as the agrodictation will become a powerful tool for popularizing agricultural professions, raising the level of knowledge and involving young people in the development of rural areas.
45 minutes will be given to complete the tasks. It is expected that more than a million people will write the dictation. Schoolchildren, students, citizens whose professional activities are not related to the country's agro-industrial complex, as well as people with specialized education and experience in the agro-industrial complex will be able to test their knowledge. Relevant questions will be developed for each category. Based on the results, each registered participant will receive an electronic certificate, and the winners will receive diplomas.
