It is said that the people live on food, but food does not fall out of thin air, and it has to be grown on the cultivated land. It can be said that arable land is our most precious resource, and without arable land, we would all have no food. In recent years, the state can be said to attach great importance to the protection of cultivated land resources, and proposed to firmly guard the red line of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land.
In order to accurately understand the data of cultivated land in various places and ensure that the 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land deserves its name, the state will arrange and carry out a survey called "land change" every year. This survey data is an important data for the state to find out the changes in cultivated land in various places, and it is naturally very important. Otherwise, the number of cultivated land is innumerable, how can the job bowl be guaranteed?
However, in the course of the actual investigation, some grassroots units have tried every possible means to fool the state by all kinds of deceptive methods. On February 18, the Ministry of Natural Resources publicly notified seven cases of fraud found in the 2023 annual land change survey, which can be said to be shocking and trueIt is worrying that the data of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land is not accurate, whether the 1.8 billion acres of cultivated land is really held.
Let's take a look at these cases of fraud. I've simply divided it into categories, and there are three main categories:
One isCover the soil directly on the hardened ground, fraud to deal with change investigation and land sanitation law enforcement. The main body of the appearance is a town in Beijing, a village committee, and a company in Datong, Shanxi.
The second isTemporary transplanting, posing and false evidence to fill in the patches that are not cultivated land as cultivated land。For example, in a village in Gutian County, Fujian Province, sugarcane was temporarily transplanted to pose at a fixed point, and the orchard was presented as cultivated land. Another example is a street in Bishan District, Chongqing, where a batch of "grain piles" composed of dried straw ** on bamboo sticks were purchased, inserted in the breeding water surface, artificially created traces of rice planting, and the water surface was investigated as paddy fields. In 8 villages in Wuwei City, Anhui Province, the village committee organized people to transplant vegetables in unreclaimed crab ponds after pumping, and changed 209 acres of crab ponds into cultivated land.
The third is the grassroots ** department andSurveysunits, directly involved in the counterfeiting. The most distressing thing is that in a certain county in Gansu Province, in order to ensure that the amount of cultivated land is up to the target, there is an organized and planned large-scale fraud. Through the meeting, the local government pruned the branches of trees in some woodlands, ploughed the surface under the forest, and asked the survey company to survey these woodlands as cultivated land, involving 8,900 acres.
In a certain county in Guizhou Province, the investigation company did not carry out an investigation based on the facts, and there were acts of deception and evasion of the presentation of evidence. However, the local Bureau of Natural Resources, as the main responsible department, acquiesced in their false evidence, and even directly handed over the county-level verification account to the investigation company to complete the county-level self-inspection on its behalf, and the county-level verification was a mere formality.
We often say that when we see a Xiaoqiang, there is actually a litter. I am afraid that the above-mentioned cases of fraud are only the tip of the iceberg exposed in the fraud at the grassroots level. These falsifications are of a vile nature and seriously affect the authenticity of the results of farmland surveys, and must be severely punished.
Note: The case in this article comes from the "Ministry of Natural Resources Public Notification of Typical Problems of Fraud and Lack of Serious Investigation and Lax Control in the Investigation of Land Change in 2023" issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources on February 18
