The protection of permanent basic farmland is very important, as it is a high-quality arable land determined by the state and plays a key role in ensuring food production and ensuring agricultural development. In order to strengthen the protection of permanent basic farmland, China has formulated a series of policies and measures:
1. Strictly delineate red lines. In accordance with relevant national laws, regulations and plans, the geographical boundaries of permanent basic farmland should be clarified, and it should be included in the territorial spatial planning and urban and rural planning systems to ensure that it is not encroached upon and destroyed.
2. Establish and improve the protection system. Formulate and improve a series of laws and regulations, clarify the protection responsibilities and management methods for permanent basic farmland, strengthen law enforcement and supervision mechanisms, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of farmland.
3. Strengthen monitoring and evaluation. Establish a system for monitoring and evaluating the quality of cultivated land, regularly monitor and evaluate the soil quality, water resource utilization, and crop planting of permanent basic farmland, and promptly discover problems and take measures to restore and protect them.
4. Improve supporting measures for protection. strengthen the construction of farmland water conservancy to ensure the effective use of water resources and the sustainability of irrigation and water supply; Promote efficient agricultural machinery and scientific farming technology to improve land use efficiency and agricultural product production capacity; Strengthen soil fertility conservation and improvement, and take measures to prevent soil degradation and pollution.
In rural areas, some villagers are concerned about whether permanent basic farmland can be built into greenhouses. However, according to the relevant regulations, permanent basic farmland may not be used for the construction of facility agriculture, including the construction of greenhouses. This is because permanent basic farmland is permanently protected by the state, and its quality and production capacity are of great importance and cannot be questioned. The construction of facility agriculture, especially greenhouses, will occupy and change the use of land to a certain extent, which may cause damage and pollution to permanent basic farmland, and seriously affect the safety of food production and sustainable development of agriculture.
In practice, not only permanent basic farmland, but also the occupation of general farmland must be strictly controlled and managed. Even if it occupies ordinary farmland, it needs to go through strict approval procedures and comply with relevant regulations to ensure that the farmland is "in and out of balance". This means that even if a greenhouse is built on general farmland, the regulations need to be strictly adhered to to ensure that the productive capacity and soil quality of the farmland are not damaged.
In order to further strengthen the protection of cultivated land and promote the sustainable development of China's agriculture, starting in 2024, China will take a series of hard measures:
1. Implement the "first test" of the responsibility system for cultivated land protection and food security. Through the assessment and evaluation of local governments and relevant departments, we should promote all levels and departments to pay more attention to the protection of cultivated land to ensure food security and sustainable agricultural development.
2. Comprehensively reform and improve the system of balancing the occupation and compensation of cultivated land. All kinds of cultivated land occupation behaviors will be included in a unified system of occupation and compensation balance for management, strict examination and approval and approval, and ensure that the occupation behavior does not exceed a certain proportion, so as to ensure the balance of the total amount and quality of cultivated land.
3. Carry out special actions for rectification and reclamation of cultivated land occupied in violation of regulations. According to the actual situation, specific rectification measures and timetables should be formulated for different regions and different types of illegal occupation of cultivated land, and reclamation and restoration work should be carried out to ensure the effective use and productive capacity of cultivated land.
4. Establish and improve a long-term mechanism for cultivated land protection. Strengthen the organization and management of cultivated land protection, and form a working mechanism with multi-departmental linkage and multiple measures to ensure the long-term stability and sustainability of cultivated land protection.
The promulgation of these measures has further strengthened China's attention to cultivated land protection and management. Only by strengthening the protection of cultivated land can we ensure the production capacity of food and the sustainable development of agriculture.
Protecting cultivated land is an important measure to maintain food security and sustainable agricultural development. China has made a series of achievements in cultivated land protection through measures such as demarcating permanent basic farmland, formulating relevant laws, regulations and policies, strengthening monitoring and evaluation, and implementing a responsibility system and a system of balance between occupation and compensation.
However, there are still some issues and challenges. Some villagers do not know enough about the protection of permanent basic farmland, and sometimes occupy farmland in violation of regulations. In addition, with the acceleration of urbanization, agricultural land is encroached upon by urban sprawl. With regard to these problems, we need to further strengthen propaganda and education, enhance the awareness and awareness of peasants and the general public on cultivated land protection, increase the intensity of punishment for violations of regulations, and ensure the smooth progress of cultivated land protection work.
At the same time, we should also fully understand the relationship between cultivated land protection and agricultural development. While protecting cultivated land, it is necessary to actively promote agricultural modernization, strengthen scientific and technological innovation and the development of agricultural industry, improve the level and quality of agricultural production, and ensure the stability of grain production and the country's food security.
To sum up, the need to ensure the protection of cultivated land and the sustainable development of agriculture is to ensure the protection of permanent basic farmland. A series of cultivated land protection measures starting in 2024 have further strengthened the protection and management of cultivated land, providing a solid foundation for the sustainable development of China's agriculture. Each of us should pay attention to and participate in the cause of cultivated land protection, jointly protect our land resources, and contribute to the realization of the goal of becoming an agricultural power.
