Returning farmland to forests has reappearedMore than 30,000 Chinese acacia trees were forcibly cut down, and no compensation was paid
On the causes of returning forests to farmland.
In recent years, there has been a movement in rural China to "return farmland", in which all trees in farmland are cut down and replaced with grain. There is some truth to this situation.
First of all, an important factor in promoting the policy of "returning forests to farmland" is the reduction of cultivated land. In recent years, the rapid development of towns and industries, the scale of urban land continues to expand, the scale of enterprise land continues to expand, and the cultivated land continues to shrink, which has brought huge pressure to national food security. The policy of returning forests to forests aims to protect farmland and ensure agricultural production and agricultural production.
Second, in some places, farmers work in the cities, so that arable land is transferred to other places for afforestation. Many peasants worked in the cities, seeking higher wages, and rented their land to others to plant trees, making it impossible to grow food when the land was in circulation, forming large forests. The purpose of returning forests to forests is to restore farmland to its original ecological functions, so that it will no longer become "abandoned farmland" for agricultural production.
The case of forced deforestation of more than 30,000 white locust trees in Shaanxi.
On November 8, a tree was forcibly cut down in Shangluo Danfeng County, Shaanxi Province. The local ** used an excavator to cut down more than 30,000 Chinese acacia trees and more than 30 walnut trees, and compensated the villagers before cutting down the trees. Farmers complain that they have worked hard to plant trees for ten years without getting anything in return.
The local official replied that this action was in accordance with national regulations, cutting down all the trees in the farmland and then planting crops, and that there was no relevant compensation policy yet.
On the rationality of returning forests to forests and related issues**.
1. Reasons for returning forests to farmland:
Returning forests to forests is an important measure implemented in China, and its purpose is to ensure agricultural production and the development of agricultural production. Farmland is the foundation of food, and over-cultivation or abandonment will have a negative impact on the food supply. In China, the practice of returning farmland to forests not only satisfies China's grain production needs, but also meets the requirements of China's sustainable agricultural development.
2. Policies on returning forests to farmland:
1) Rights protection: In the process of returning farmland to forest, all the original trees must be cut down, which will affect the interests of farmers. On this basis, a land acquisition, demolition and resettlement plan centered on farmers was proposed, the land acquisition, demolition and resettlement system was improved, and the consultation and communication with farmers were strengthened.
2) Implementation: In the process of returning farmland to forest, it is necessary to strengthen communication with farmers and determine the specific implementation timing, methods and compensation standards. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the protection and management of forest resources to avoid illegal activities in certain areas.
3) In terms of ecological and environmental protection, it is necessary to organically link the return of farmland to forest with the ecological environment, and carry out appropriate planning for felling trees, so as to maintain the balance of forests and prevent adverse consequences caused by logging.
In general, China's return of farmland to forests is reasonable to ensure China's food security and sustainable agricultural development, but in the specific implementation, full attention should be paid to the protection of farmers' rights and interests, strengthen communication and consultation, and organically integrate with ecological protection.
