Abstract

Abstract: Bioinformatics, as an emerging interdisciplinary field with a wide range of applications, plays a significant role in promoting the development of green agriculture. Against the backdrop of the New Agricultural Science, new challenges have been posed to the cultivation of innovative talents in the bioinformatics major of agricultural and forestry universities. Based on the talent demands for the bioinformatics major within the context of New Agricultural Science and the actual circumstances of Hebei Agricultural University, this paper proposes six specific and feasible talent nurturing schemes: building a curriculum system for the bioinformatics major that is suitable for agricultural and forestry universities, integrating bioinformatics teaching resources across agricultural and forestry universities nationwide and establish a nationwide virtual teaching and research platform, constructing and implementing a project-driven teaching system and a talent cultivation model that promotes learning through competition, exploring interdisciplinary curriculum design, integrating large language models into bioinformatics education, and establishing a cooperation mechanism with enterprises and research institutions. By further combining the continuous optimization and updating of educational policies and institutional frameworks, the aim is to cultivate high-quality innovative talents in bioinformatics, contributing to the modernization of agriculture in our country and the sustainable development of global agriculture.

Key words: bioinformatics, New Agricultural Science, innovative talent, cultivation strategies
