Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture announced a good news that has excited many farmers: the subsidy for returning farmland to forest will be extended for five years, and an additional 500 yuan will be issued. The promulgation of this policy not only plays a role in promoting the protection of the ecological environment and the development of the rural economy, but also affects the rights and interests of many farmers. So, who exactly can receive this subsidy?Below, the author will explain in detail. The implementation of the policy of returning farmland to forests is mainly aimed at protecting China's ecological environment. With the rapid development of China's economy, agricultural land has been occupied on a large scale, resulting in the reduction of cultivated land and soil erosion. In order to solve this problem, the state has implemented a series of policies for returning farmland to forests, and has provided corresponding subsidies to farmers who have returned farmland to forests. In terms of the scope of subsidy collection, it mainly involves those farmers who voluntarily apply for the return of cultivated land to forest. They can apply under the guidance of the relevant departments, and after completing the corresponding procedures in accordance with the regulations, they can receive the relevant subsidy funds.
To be clear, the receipt of subsidies for returning farmland to forests is not a one-time process. According to the relevant policies and regulations of the state, the subsidy period for returning farmland to forest is generally 5 years, that is, during this period, farmers who meet the conditions for returning farmland to forest can receive a subsidy once a year. It is gratifying that in the latest policy adjustment, the state has increased the amount of each subsidy from the original 300 yuan to 500 yuan. This has undoubtedly added a layer of rigidity to the protection of peasants' interests. Specifically, who can receive the subsidy for returning farmland to forest?First of all, farmers who meet the following conditions can apply to receive subsidies. First, farmers who have returned farmland to forests are encouraged in the plan to return farmland to forests, such as those who are facing various problems such as serious overloading of land area, declining land fertility, and increasing agricultural production costs. Second, farmers who voluntarily apply for returning cultivated land to forests, such as farmers who intend to switch to cash crops, carry out ecological breeding, and develop rural tourism. The third is the nominal contractor, actual contractor, and business households involved in returning farmland to forest.
In addition, farmers need to pay attention to the relevant application procedures and necessary supporting materials when receiving subsidies for returning farmland to forests. Under normal circumstances, the applicant needs to submit an application to the agricultural department of the village or township**, fill in the application form for the subsidy for returning farmland to forest, and provide relevant supporting materials, such as land contract, detailed use of land, farmer's identity certificate, etc. At the same time, the relevant departments will also organize professionals to verify and accept the land.
Generally speaking, the postponement and increase in the issuance of subsidies for returning farmland to forests have undoubtedly brought great benefits to the vast number of peasants. This not only encourages farmers to actively apply for the policy of returning farmland to forests, further promotes the protection of the ecological environment, but also provides farmers with real economic security. At the same time, it is also hoped that through the implementation of this policy, more farmers will be attracted to change their business models, transition from traditional farming methods to new agricultural models, and promote the development of the rural economy. It is believed that with the gradual implementation of this policy, more and more farmers will choose to return farmland to forests and jointly create a beautiful and livable new rural scene.
