Purpose. The purpose of this study is to summarize the experience of China’s rural human resource management through the introduction of the training process of new professional farmers in China, and to provide some experience and reference for developing countries to carry out farmer training and optimize the structure of human resources.
Results. The study results show that new professional farmer training is an essential experience in China’s rural human resource management. The Chinese government attaches great importance to the whole process of training new professional farmers. In the process of cultivating new-type professional farmers, China has carried out the cultivation work from four aspects, namely, determining the best cultivation target, selecting the appropriate investment entity, constructing a reasonable cultivation model and formulating preferential support policies. It has achieved remarkable results in improving the quality of rural human resources and optimizing the structure of rural human resources.
Scientific novelty. There is a lot of literature describing the experience of human resource management in rural China. Still, few scholars pay attention to the training process and model of new professional farmers, so the innovation of this study is the novelty of the selected topic.
Practical value. This research is of great significance for improving the skill level of rural human resources, increasing farmers’ income, consolidating the basic status of agriculture, and promoting rural economic development. In addition, it also has certain literature value for enriching the theory of rural human capital investment.
