Under the straw dilemma under the ban on burning, where do farmers go?
In China, an ancient and vibrant land, the "three rural" issue has become an important topic that cannot be ignored in China's economic development and ecological construction. In recent years, while China pays more and more attention to environmental protection, a series of environmental protection measures have also been promulgated, and the requirements for strictly prohibiting the burning of corn straw are clearly put forward in this document. The original intention of implementing the "double reduction" policy is to improve air quality, reduce haze, and protect the ecological environment. However, in practice, the "three rural" problems have put farmers in an unprecedented dilemma. So, who is causing this? Do you want farmers to carry the "pot"? This article is an attempt at this question.
First, let's look at the burning ban itself and the environmental perceptions it represents. The flue gas and toxic gases such as carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide emitted during the burning of straw seriously threaten the atmospheric environment and human health. Therefore, whether it is for the protection of the environment or for the sake of public health, a complete ban on straw burning is a wise decision.
However, in the process of implementation, the practical problems of farmers in straw burning are ignored. Crop straw is an important energy source that, if properly processed, can produce fertilizers, feed or energy. However, in practice, due to the constraints of technology, capital, market and other factors, many farmers do not have the ability to make full use of straw. This poses a thorny problem for farmers, that is, what to do with the straw that cannot be burned.
In addition, this "rapid advance" has had a great impact on the survival of rural residents. Previously, people often used straw to clear the land and prepare it for the next year's crops. Now that the technology has been outlawed, farmers have had to find another way out. However, due to the lack of sufficient manpower and material resources, many farmers are unable to adjust their own conditions in time, resulting in confusion after the harvest.
Moreover, if not properly disposed of, it will cause serious harm to food production in the coming year. A large number of straws piled up in farmland will not only occupy the cultivated land, but also cultivate the cultivated land, thus adversely affecting the growth and development of crops. This is a major shock to farmers who depend on arable land for their livelihoods.
Under such circumstances, what can be done to lift the peasants out of poverty?
First of all, it is necessary to give play to the role of the state in leading and supporting. Build a complete straw resource utilization system for farmers, and provide subsidies, technical support and supporting facilities. For example, it is necessary to vigorously promote the return of straw to the field and use straw as organic fertilizer; It could also finance the establishment of a biomass power station that could convert crop straw into energy.
Second, it is necessary to build a perfect market-oriented operation model of "bartering". Guided by the best, market-oriented, with enterprises and farmers as the main body, guide enterprises and farmers to actively participate in agricultural production. It can not only effectively solve the problem of crop waste disposal, but also increase an economic income for farmers.
Fourth, it is necessary to intensify the education and training of peasant households. Through the promotion of environmental protection and farming technology, farmers will be able to raise their awareness of environmental protection and deal with problems independently. It is necessary to make farmers realize that ecological conservation is not only the most important need, but also an investment in the quality of life in the future.
Conclusion: The "burning ban" has caused a certain short-term impact on farmers, but it should not cause farmers to suffer losses. This is precisely an opportunity to promote the sustainable development of China's rural areas and improve the living standards of farmers. **The society and rural households should work together to find effective ways to achieve green development in rural areas and effectively benefit rural households.
During the transition period, the peasants did encounter many problems, but they could not take everything on their own. On this basis, it is necessary to further strengthen the understanding and support of rural households, and provide new ideas for the development of rural economy. Only in this way can our ecological civilization construction achieve the harmony and unity of environmental protection and agricultural development, so that farmers can change from isolated individuals to active participation in sustainable development.
