The illegal investigation threatens the red line of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land, and the relevant departments have publicly reported
Observe the trend of rural land policy, check the production and living conditions of farmers, professional interpretation, in-depth analysis, and solve doubts, please pay attention to "Land Observation"!
i.Strictly observe the red line of cultivated land and protect 186.5 billion acres of arable land and 154.6 billion acres of permanent basic farmland.
One of the important goals and tasks of cultivated land protection in the country is to strictly observe the red line of cultivated land and resolutely protect it.186.5 billion acres of arable land and 154.6 billion acres of permanent farmland. In order to do a good job in the protection of cultivated land, the Ministry of Natural Resources organizes land change surveys every year, one of the important purposes of which is to determine the amount of cultivated land. The principles used in land change surveys are:"What you see is what you get", that is, to determine the status quo of the land according to the identification criteria. For example, the criteria for the identification of cultivated land are: land that is mainly planted with grain, cotton, oil, sugar, vegetables, fodder and other crops in the surface tillage layer, and is planted for more than one season a year (including perennial crops planted for more than one season a year). If the trees planted on the cultivated land meet the criteria for forest land designation, they shall be recognized as forest land. The purpose of a land change survey is to ensure that the amount of arable land is not misjudged. However, in recent years, some localities have not been serious and thorough enough in the investigation of changes, and even deliberately concealed and falsified, resulting in false results and causing great losses.
In order to solve this problem, the Ministry of Natural Resources recently informed the public of the typical problems found by the special inspectors of the land change survey in 2023, such as fraud, lack of seriousness in the investigation, and lax control. These questions are sobering and unexpected, with staggering surveys identifying a staggering area, some of which amount to more than 8,900 hectares. According to the report, the problems exposed can be divided into two categories: one is the problem of false inquiry, including covering soil on hardened soil, temporarily transplanting sugarcane as false certificates, pumping water in uncultivated crab ponds to transplant vegetables, and falsely registering other census agricultural land as cultivated land. The other category is the problem of not being serious in the work and not strictly checking the gates, including the identification of the roads under construction that have been approved and archived with useful land and the roadbed that have been basically formed as cultivated land, the identification of unused land with serious soil erosion, part of which has become the water surface of the river, frozen or muddy, the cultivation of American ginseng, Panax notoginseng and other land that should be listed as parks, etc., and the identification of land that should be listed as a park as cultivated land in violation of regulations; Land that has reached the forest canopy density level is recognized as cultivated land, etc. Land that has reached the forest canopy density level is listed as cultivated land in violation of regulations and recognized as cultivated land. These problems show that some localities have a weak awareness of cultivated land protection and are trying every means to evade the responsibility of balancing cultivated land occupation and compensation and balancing cultivated land revenue and expenditure, which greatly endangers cultivated land protection.
The danger of falsification and laxity in investigations.
The problems of fraud and lack of seriousness in the investigation of land change have jeopardized the protection of cultivated land in three aspects.
First, these problems lead to unrealistic arable land figures. A large amount of forest land and orchard land have been identified as cultivated land, and even roads that have been basically built have been identified as cultivated land. This method of calculating the amount of cultivated land has seriously affected the national red line of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land protection, posing a threat to national food security.
Second, the violation of the law goes unpunished. There are unauthorized road construction and factory construction on cultivated land, and there are also illegal acts such as afforestation, forestry and fruit industry, pond fish farming, etc. In the change investigation, these acts are still identified as cultivated land, which is actually a cover for the illegal use of land, so that these illegal acts cannot be investigated and corrected.
Third, the replenishment of cultivated land is not timely. The balance between cultivated land occupation and compensation and the balance between cultivated land inflow and outflow are effective means to ensure that the quantity and quality of cultivated land do not decrease. If there is a situation of unauthorized occupation of cultivated land or change of use of cultivated land, it must be passed"Balance of accounts and compensation"or"The inflow and outflow of cultivated land are balanced"Timely recovery. However, in the revised survey, construction land, forest land, garden land, etc. were illegally identified as cultivated land, and thus evaded"Balance of accounts and compensation"with"Inflow and outflow balance"resulting in a reduction in arable land that cannot be replenished in a timely manner.
The Ministry of Natural Resources publicly reported 16 typical cases of fraud and dereliction of duty in the investigation, which fully reflects the state's firm determination to protect cultivated land and maintain the authenticity of land use change investigations. Any misrepresentation or dereliction of duty in monitoring will be duly punished to ensure the authenticity of the 1.8 billion hectares of arable land.
Experience it for yourself. From the problems exposed by this land change survey, we can see the importance of cultivated land protection, and we can also see the current situation of weak awareness of cultivated land protection in some places. Arable land is the foundation of food production, and for a country of 1.4 billion people, it is very important to protect it. However, in order to pursue economic development, some localities have neglected the protection of cultivated land, and even engaged in fraud. This kind of behavior not only poses a threat to national food security, but also violates the concept of scientific development and the principle of ecological civilization construction.
Therefore, the author believes that it is necessary to strengthen publicity and education on cultivated land protection, so that all sectors of society can realize the importance of cultivated land protection. ** The department should strengthen supervision and law enforcement, crack down on fraud and illegal acts, and ensure the authenticity and accuracy of land change investigations. At the same time, it is also necessary to intensify political support for cultivated land protection, promote the sustainable development of agriculture, improve the peasants' production technology and income level, and enhance the peasants' initiative and awareness of land protection.
Only through the joint efforts of the whole society can we truly protect and sustainably use cultivated land and ensure national food security and farmers' livelihoods. Land is our basic resource, and only by protecting it can we ensure our agricultural development and economic prosperity.
