Can arable land only grow food?

With the gradual development of spring plowing and preparation, it is now a critical period to curb the "non-farming" of cultivated land and prevent the "non-grain" conversion. To prevent the "non-grain conversion" of cultivated land, it is necessary to strictly control the conversion of cultivated land into other agricultural land, and it is really necessary to use cultivated land to implement a balance between entry and exit. Different from curbing "non-agricultural production," preventing "non-grain production" is more complicated, and it involves the relationship between interests within agriculture, the relationship between food security and peasant income, and the relationship between use control and self-management, and it is quite difficult to deal with it. However, there is a consensus that the implementation of the requirements of balance between entry and exit, and the control and guidance of planting use, can prevent a large amount of high-quality arable land from the original long-term grain cultivation to other agricultural uses.

In addition, the first document of 2022 proposes to clarify the use of cultivated land by classification, strictly implement the priority of cultivated land use, cultivated land is mainly used for grain and cotton, oil, sugar, vegetables and other agricultural products and forage and feed production, permanent basic farmland is mainly used for grain production, and high-standard farmland is used for grain production in principle. Guide the new development of the forest and fruit industry up the hill and uphill, encourage the use of the "four wilds" resources, and do not compete with grain for land.

In other words, the state requires that cultivated land be mainly used for the production of grain, cotton, oil, sugar, vegetables and other agricultural products, as well as forage and fodder. Among them, high-standard farmland can only grow grain, and permanent basic farmland focuses on growing grain, so the general cultivated land other than these two types of farmland can be used to grow vegetables, cotton, oil, sugar, and other cash crops. To prevent cultivated land from being "turned into non-grain" does not mean that cultivated land can only be used to grow grain, but that it is necessary to give priority to growing grain and ensure that good land is used for grain.

In short, the cultivation use of cultivated land needs to be reasonably controlled and guided to ensure food security and sustainable agricultural development. At the same time, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as the relationship of various interests within agriculture and market demand, and adopt scientific and rational measures to promote the work of preventing "non-grain conversion."
