Protecting cultivated land is an important task in China's rural development. In order to ensure the sustainable use of cultivated land resources, China has formulated strict protection measures, the core of which is the red line of cultivated land protection, that is, the area of cultivated land of 1.8 billion mu. This red line is a nationwide limit that must be strictly observed and must not be breached. Even for general project construction or major project construction, it is necessary to follow the cultivated land"Balance of accounts and compensation"The principle of proceeding. The balance of cultivated land occupation and compensation means that for projects that use cultivated land, the occupied cultivated land must be offset by supplementation, and the supplementary cultivated land must be of corresponding quality. The implementation of this system is aimed at ensuring that the red line of cultivated land is not breached. At the same time, there are also clear control measures in terms of the type and use of cultivated land to ensure the efficiency of farmland use and the stability of agricultural production.
1.Permanent basic farmland: Permanent basic farmland is a key object in China's cultivated land protection work. This type of arable land is mainly used for food production, especially in the three major cereals, which play a crucial role. According to the regulations, the use of such cultivated land for other purposes, including building houses, forestry and fruit industry, aquaculture, etc.
2.General cultivated land: General cultivated land is mainly used for the production of agricultural products. They are also important objects of protection in the protection of cultivated land. According to the regulations, in addition to the prohibition of the use of cultivated land for building houses, it is also forbidden to carry out non-agricultural activities.
3.High-standard farmland: High-standard farmland is high-quality farmland that has been transformed into dry land and basic farmland, and in principle, it is also mainly used for food production. For this type of cultivated land, the regulations are clear, and any act of destroying the cultivated layer or polluting the cultivated land is prohibited.
By clearly defining the types and uses of different cultivated land, we can better protect farmland resources and ensure food security and sustainable agricultural development.
According to the latest policy guidelines for rural revitalization land use, the nature and use of cultivated land have been classified, and a priority timeline has been determined, and from 2024, the following behaviors will be prohibited:
1.Permanent basic farmland: For this type of farmland, the focus will be on food production. Therefore, the permanent basic farmland designated in accordance with the law shall not be used for any purpose such as building houses, forestry and fruit industry, aquaculture and animal husbandry facilities.
2.General arable land: General arable land will be used exclusively for the production of agricultural products. As long as it involves non-agricultural activities, it will be prohibited.
3.High-standard farmland: High-standard farmland is high-quality farmland that has been transformed and upgraded. In principle, they are used only for food production. To ensure this principle, any destruction of the cultivated layer and pollution of the cultivated land will be prohibited.
The implementation of these prohibitions aims to further strengthen the protection of cultivated land, ensure that red lines are not breached, and increase food production and sustainable agricultural development.
The continuous increase in measures to protect cultivated land in rural areas shows that China attaches great importance to the security of grain production. Cultivated land is the basic resource of food production, and its protection is essential to maintain food stability and sustainable agricultural development.
First, the protection of arable land is fundamental to ensuring food security. Only by properly protecting cultivated land can we ensure the yield and quality of grain and meet the daily needs of the people.
Secondly, cultivated land protection also plays an important role in maintaining the agricultural ecological environment. The protection of cultivated land can maintain the good ecological environment of farmland, reduce the environmental pollution of agricultural production, and promote the sustainable development of agriculture.
Finally, cultivated land protection is of great significance for the development of rural economy. Cultivated land resources are an important support for the rural economy, and only by properly protecting cultivated land can we achieve the healthy development of the rural economy and raise the income level of peasants.
To sum up, the protection of rural cultivated land is an important task of national development, and it is also the basis for sustainable agricultural development and food security. By clearly defining the types and uses of cultivated land and strengthening the protection measures for cultivated land, we can better protect farmland resources and ensure the sustainable development of food production and agriculture. Therefore, the vast number of villagers and peasants should actively participate in the protection of cultivated land, and actively report any acts of destruction or indiscriminate occupation of cultivated land, so as to jointly protect our cultivated land resources.
In the work of agriculture, rural areas and rural areas deployed in 2024, our country has clarified important measures to rectify illegal behaviors such as destruction, pollution, and indiscriminate occupation of cultivated land. With regard to the improvement and implementation of the measures for the protection of cultivated land in rural areas, we have reason to believe that through the joint efforts of the whole society, China's cultivated land resources will be effectively protected and food security and sustainable agricultural development will be ensured.
