Is the straw burning policy strictly prohibited or liberalized in an orderly manner?
Controversy and current status of stubble burning.
In recent years, the issue of straw burning has caused a lot of controversy. On the one hand, prohibiting the burning of straw is conducive to improving environmental quality and preventing potential safety hazards such as firesOn the other hand, the ban on burning has brought problems to farmers in cleaning and disposal, and has also exacerbated the problem of crop diseases and pests. In this context, Zhejiang, Guangxi, Changsha, Hengyang and other places in Hunan have explored or implemented policies that allow conditional straw burning. However, there is no official consensus on whether straw burning should be allowed. Whether the burning ban policy is scientifically coordinated is still an urgent issue to be solved.
In the discussion about the ban on burning, most netizens questioned not the original intention of environmental protection, but:"One-size-fits-all"Whether the ban on burning is in line with the actual situation. It is reported that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment jointly investigated the comprehensive utilization of straw and the ban on burning in Hunan, Hubei, Zhejiang, Anhui and other places, emphasizing"Promote the ban on burning with straw utilization, and promote the utilization of straw with a ban on burning"The principle of straw burning ban and straw comprehensive utilization is organically combined. However, in the process of implementing the burning ban policy, some places put too much emphasis on the burning ban and neglected the research and implementation of the overall utilization. In addition, some places have achieved certain results in the rational use of straw, but the scope and effect of promotion are limited.
In today's environment, the burning ban policy is a comprehensive issue that takes into account the interests of multiple parties, and it is necessary to comprehensively balance the relationship between policies and regulations and actual production, agricultural production and environmental protection. Whether farmers cry or laugh is the key to the success or failure of the burning ban policy. If the burning ban policy is effectively implemented, the environment is protected, and farmers can enjoy a healthy life. However, if the cost of straw utilization or returning to the field is not reasonably shared, it will inevitably reduce the enthusiasm of farmers for farming, and then affect agricultural production. Therefore, the policy of banning burning cannot be generalized, nor can it be completely laissez-faire, but should be scientifically coordinated and comprehensively implemented.
The necessity and challenges of the straw burning ban policy.
When it comes to the straw burning ban policy, scientific formulation is indispensable. However, it is not easy to achieve scientific coordination. At present, there are two common problems in the burning ban policy:
1.The implementation of the burning ban policy is uneven
The implementation of the burning ban policy varies from region to region, and some localities over-implement the burning ban policy in the whole region and at all times, which brings more difficulties to farmersIn some places, the standards for banning burning in time-limited areas are not clearly defined or implemented in detail, making it difficult to effectively implement the burning ban policy.
2) The full use of straw is not fully promoted
Although some places are actively exploring ways to utilize straw resources, the overall efficiency and effect are not high due to the limited scope of promotion. As a result, a large amount of resources produced by straw are not fully utilized, resulting in a waste of resources.
In view of the above problems, the scientific formulation of the straw burning ban policy requires the joint efforts of the agricultural and rural departments and the ecological environment departments, as well as the gaps and weak links in policies and regulations, to promote the overall utilization of the straw industry chain, to strengthen publicity and policy guidance, and to support the development of comparative experimental research in places where conditions permit.
The positive results and feasibility of banning straw burning.
In the process of evaluating the ban on burning, we can learn from the results of Guangxi's orderly straw burning ban policy. According to a notice issued by the Guangxi Department of Ecology and Environment, in the four years since Guigang implemented the policy of banning straw burning, the proportion of days with good air quality has increased from 84 in 20179% rose to 93 in 20222%，pm2.5 levels decreased from 42 micrograms of cubic meters in 2017 to 27 in 20221 microgram cubic meter. This shows that as long as comprehensive prevention and control measures are effective, a scientific and orderly relaxation of the ban will not necessarily lead to a decline in air quality.
From this point of view, the burning ban policy does have a positive effect and feasibility. However, it should be noted that the implementation of the burning ban policy must be centered on the production needs of farmers and environmental protection goals, ensuring that the two complement each other.
Reflections and suggestions on the straw burning ban policy.
In conclusion, it is important to formulate a scientific straw burning ban policy. In terms of the burning ban policy, it is necessary to work together to formulate a comprehensive and interest-oriented policy that not only meets the requirements of environmental protection, but also takes into account the interests of farmers. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of laws and regulations, revise and improve the relevant laws and regulations on the prevention and control of crop diseases and insect pests, air pollution prevention and control, and clarify the emergency response measures and time-limited regional regulations for conditional straw burning, so as to ensure that the policy of banning burning takes root.
Secondly, it is necessary to promote the development of the straw utilization industry and establish and improve the collection, processing and utilization system of straw resources. It is necessary to guide enterprises and farmers to participate in the full utilization of straw and improve utilization efficiency and economic benefits by increasing political support and financial input. In addition, it is also necessary to strengthen the publicity and pertinence of the burning ban policy, improve farmers' awareness and understanding of the burning ban policy, and increase farmers' enthusiasm to participate in full utilization. At the same time, by increasing the popularization of science, popularize the comprehensive utilization of straw in agricultural production, and provide relevant technical guidance and training to help farmers better cope with the problem of straw disposal.
Finally, it is necessary to actively explore and promote the pilot and research of the straw burning ban policy, and accumulate more feasible experience and methods. It is necessary to find out the policy model of straw burning ban suitable for different regions through comparative pilot studies, and improve and adjust it according to the actual situation. In short, the straw burning ban policy is a comprehensive issue, which needs to take into account the policies, regulations and production practices, and the relationship between agricultural production and environmental protection. Only by scientifically coordinating and comprehensively implementing can we formulate a reasonable and feasible burning ban policy, which not only protects the environment, but also promotes the sustainable development of agricultural production.
