The Report to the 20th National Congress of the CPC proposed to build an "agricultural power", and farmers, as the main group of people in the modernization of agriculture and rural areas, should play the main responsibility. Since the 13th Five-Year Plan, the scientific literacy of farmers in China has achieved remarkable results, and the scientific literacy level reached 6.67% in 2022. Farmers show strong ability in scientific production and management, but there are still certain problems in constructing scientific literacy. Based on the data of the 12th National Civic Scientific Literacy Sampling Survey, there are 4 problems in farmers' scientific literacy：the gap between the level of scientific quality of farmers and the national level has increased, the proportion of low-age farmers with scientific literacy is low, the frequency of visits science museums is less in farmers, and farmers have less interest in science and technology information. All the situations differed strongly from the other key groups. Farmers' scientific literacy is influenced by their own characteristics and economic, cultural and social construction factors. Therefore, it is recommended to improve rural science popularization in terms of the construction of science popularization mechanisms, the construction of grassroots science popularization facilities and the construction of vocational training system in the future. Government should strengthen the construction of rural science and culture education, fully utilize the resources of both online and offline platforms, enrich the form and content of science popularization products, enhance the gold content and popularity of farmers' vocational skills training system, and help farmers' scientific quality level to further improve in the new era.
