One Household, One Field is a pilot program aimed at solving the problem of fragmentation of rural contracted land in China. After six years of piloting, we have summed up some effective experiences and practices. Recently, rumors about whether the 2027 one-household-one-field pilot will end have attracted a lot of attention. In response to this problem, I would like to make it clear that so far, there is no clear news that the pilot project of one household and one field will end in 2027 in the documents issued by relevant departments and local **. Therefore, we should be skeptical of this statement and not believe it easily.
So, when will Ichino-Ichida end? It depends on the completion of each location. Specifically, if there are a large number of scattered villages in a county, and each village's cultivated land is facing the problem of fragmentation, then one or two villages will be selected for pilot purposes, and feasible experience will be obtained before gradually being extended to other villages. Therefore, the end time of the pilot will be determined according to the specific local situation.
On the other hand, if the fragmentation of farmland in a county is not widespread and only a few villages are facing this problem, then the pilot is likely to end soon. Therefore, we should not believe some remarks on the Internet, but still refer to the local policy arrangements and the time for the completion of the implementation plan.
It is worth noting that last year, China just issued a series of guidelines related to the fragmentation of contracted land, and encouraged all localities to select suitable and eligible villages to give priority to the pilot, and then gradually promote it. At present, China's cultivated land area is about 1.9 billion mu. In addition to the cultivated land in the basic agricultural production, grain production functional areas, and agricultural product guarantee areas, which can be concentrated and contiguous, the land in most rural areas still has the problem of decentralization and fragmentation. In order to realize the concentration and contiguity of cultivated land, it is necessary to comprehensively consider various factors, and it cannot be completed within three to five years, but must be steadily promoted, and it cannot be achieved overnight.
To sum up, although the specific end time of the one-household-one-field pilot has not yet been determined, we can be sure that solving the problem of fragmentation of contracted land is a complex and long-term task. The promotion of pilot projects needs to take into account the specific conditions and practical difficulties of various localities, and we cannot blindly pursue speed and ignore the fundamental solution of the problem. Therefore, we need to maintain a patient and rational attitude to understand and support the implementation of relevant policies. Only through joint efforts can we finally realize the concentration and contiguity of rural contracted land and make greater contributions to improving agricultural production efficiency and peasant incomes.
The author believes that the pilot project of one household and one field has played a positive role in solving the problem of fragmentation of rural contracted land, but we still need to make continuous efforts to achieve comprehensive centralized contiguous areas. We should attach importance to this pilot programme and provide it with adequate resources and support. At the same time, by strengthening communication and publicity with farmers, the significance and progress of the pilot will be introduced to them in a more vivid way, so as to enhance farmers' awareness of participation and support. Only with the joint efforts of the whole society can we achieve more remarkable results in the pilot project of one household and one field, and make greater contributions to the sustainable development of China's rural areas.
