In 2024, new measures for cultivated land protection will be implemented, what are the differences between farmland and cultivated land?
First, let's analyze the difference between arable land and farmland. Arable land is a broad category that includes dryland, irrigated, paddy and horticultural lands. Cultivated land can be subdivided into different types, such as general cultivated land, basic farmland, permanent basic farmland and high-grade farmland. Generally, cultivated land is mainly used to grow grains, cotton, oilseeds, vegetables and other crops, and other crops can also be moderately planted. Agricultural land refers to basic farmland, permanent basic farmland and high-grade farmland. These agricultural lands are mainly used for the cultivation of important food and agricultural products on a large scale.
There are also some differences in the protection of arable land and agricultural land. In terms of occupying cultivated land, if it is really necessary to occupy it, it can apply for approval in accordance with the law, but it must be ensured that the area of cultivated land does not decrease and the quality does not decline. For permanent agricultural land and high-grade agricultural land, it is strictly forbidden to occupy these two types of agricultural land, even for general projects. In addition, starting this year, China will also strictly control the conversion of cultivated land into forest land and orchard land, and will not allow arbitrary changes in land use. To this end, stricter measures will be introduced this year to protect cultivated land resources.
The above is a basic introduction and distinction between cultivated land and agricultural land. We must respect the relevant laws and regulations and follow the law to protect these precious agricultural resources. Peasants and other people must consciously abide by the regulations, not destroy the plough layer, not change the nature of the land, and not indiscriminately occupy farmland to build houses. Because this year these violations will be subject to severe retaliation and sanctions.
In short, arable land and farmland are two different concepts that are clearly defined in terms of conservation and utilization. Arable land includes dry land, irrigated land, rice fields and horticultural land, which are generally used to grow various crops. Agricultural land refers to basic farmland, permanent basic farmland and high-grade farmland, which is mainly used for large-scale cultivation of grain and important agricultural products. For conservation purposes, the occupation of cultivated land is subject to legal approval, while the occupation of agricultural land is subject to stricter protection requirements. Each of us must consciously abide by the relevant regulations, protect cultivated land and cultivated land resources, and make our own contributions to ensuring food security and sustainable agricultural development.
In my opinion, the difference between agricultural land and cultivated land is not only a difference in name, but also involves the protection and rational use of agricultural resources. As a farmer, I know this issue firsthand. In my hometown, land is the basic life of farmers, and every piece of cultivated land carries the expectations and hard work of farmers. Because of this, I can better understand and value the protection of farmland and arable land.
Looking back at history, we can see the importance and influence of agricultural development on a country. A country with fertile land and good arable land can not only be self-sufficient, but also provide a stable material base for other industries. On the contrary, if agricultural land and arable land are destroyed and abused, it will not only lead to food shortages, but also cause a series of environmental and social problems.
Therefore, it is essential to protect farmland and arable land. We must strengthen the scientific management of farmland and cultivated land and intensify the crackdown on illegal activities. Only by strengthening supervision and effective management can we ensure the sustainable use of cultivated land resources and the healthy development of agriculture.
At the same time, we should also attach importance to the role and status of peasants, who are the real protectors and builders of cultivated land. When formulating relevant policies, it is necessary to give full consideration to the opinions and suggestions of farmers, so that farmers can play a greater role in the process of protecting cultivated land and farmland.
In short, I believe that through our joint efforts, the problem of cultivated land and farmland protection will be effectively solved, our agricultural production will be more abundant, and our rural life will be better. Let's act together to protect our precious farmland and arable land resources.
