In recent years, the issue of large-scale fertile land abandonment has been repeatedly hyped on the Internet, and some people claim that most of China's fertile land is idle, resulting in a shortage of food. However, as a long-term engagedThree ruralWorking agrotechnicians, I'm skeptical of this statement. Through my own observation and research, I found that in my rural area, there is no large-scale phenomenon of abandoned fertile land. On the contrary,FarmersThey cherish the land very much, and even if there is a little vacant land, they will use it to grow vegetables and other crops. I often work withFarmersDealing, they told me in the currentAgricultural developmentmode,Package production to householdsThe implementation of the policy makes:FarmersIncome has increased, land utilization has improved, and farmland has been effectively protected. As far as I know, in my place and in the surrounding area, arable land is fully mechanized, and two crops can be grown per year, for exampleWheatwithCorn。Even ifFarmersEmploying machinery to complete all production links can also be profitable. Take my cousin as an example, his family has 11 acres of arable land, and they hire machinery throughout the whole process, and their annual income can reach 20,000 yuan, which is not uncommon in rural areas. Therefore, I firmly believe that the abandonment of large areas of fertile land is just a rumor, rightFarmersThe slander is baseless.
Some people believe that our country is now in large numbersImportsFood, it means that we are not self-sufficient, and that's rightPackage production to householdsThe negation of the policy. However, I don't think this view is tenable. Compared to the past, our countryFarmersLife has changed dramatically. In the sixties and seventies, our country's food supply was basically dependentImportsFarmersThe standard of living is low and food is scarce. And now,FarmersThe level of eating has improved dramatically, and a variety of rich ingredients, including white noodles, can be purchased anytime and anywhereSteamed buns, meat, eggs and milk, etc., the market is sufficient. The important thing is that now the grainImportsIt is mainly used as a variety of feed, oil and flavor adjustment, rather than as a main food**. If China is really faced with a situation where a large area of fertile land is abandoned and grain supply exceeds demand, then why are Western countries still willing?ImportsWhat about our food? If our country is really short of food, Western countries will definitely seize this opportunity to restrain us. The fact is, however, that they are competing to export grain to us. Therefore, those who spread rumors about the abandonment of large areas of fertile land are nothing more than a cover for their own ignorance and incompetence.
In my opinion, those who spread rumors about the abandonment of large areas of fertile land are often those who are interested in reform and opening upPackage production to householdsand other people who have a hostile attitude towards the policy. They neglected the reform and opening up as wellPackage production to householdsThe tremendous changes brought about by the policy can only see some deficiencies in the reform process. These people tried to beautify the rural life of the sixties and seventies, to sing the praises of the ultra-leftist ideology of the time, and to cover up the disasters brought to the people by the erroneous line of the sixties and seventies. These people ignore that development is a process of constantly identifying and solving problems. In contrast, the practice of looking back from time to time and finding mental balance with sweetness and hardship is not conducive to the development of society. Rumors and smears will only expose their incompetence and powerlessness, and cannot change China's development trend.
On the whole, the abandonment of large areas of fertile land is just an alarmist lie, which is not in fact in line with the facts. On the contrary, our country has a strong food capacity and is able to be self-sufficient. Those rumors that spread a large area of fertile land and abandoned land are often out of concern for reform and opening upPackage production to householdsPolicy hostility. We should pursue our own success and happiness with practical actions, instead of covering up our own shortcomings by slandering and belittling the country. Only by discovering and solving problems can society truly develop.
