1.The 2024 National Conference on Natural Resources highlighted strict measures for farmland protection to ensure that farmland redlines are not breached. At the same time, this year, we will also establish and improve the hard measures of "long teeth" to promote the increase of cultivated land in batches. This shows that strict law enforcement measures have been taken in the protection of cultivated land, and the determination to rectify illegal activities such as indiscriminate occupation and destruction of cultivated land.
Expanding: The 2024 National Natural Resources Work Conference has always put cultivated land protection in an important position, emphasizing the bottom-line awareness of the red line of cultivated land protection. The meeting proposed to "pay equal attention to quantity and quality, strict law enforcement, systematic promotion, and sustainable utilization", which shows the importance of cultivated land protection. In order to ensure the increase and protection of cultivated land, the meeting also put forward the goal of establishing and improving hard measures for "long teeth" to ensure the country's food security by increasing cultivated land in batches. It can be seen that 2024 is a year of strict protection of cultivated land, severely punishing the phenomenon of indiscriminate occupation and destruction of cultivated land, strictly abiding by the red line of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land, and ensuring that the amount of cultivated land in China increases year by year, and the red line is not breached.
2.Arable land and farmland are two different concepts with some differences. Cultivated land includes dry land, irrigated land, paddy field and vegetable land, while farmland is a general term for basic farmland, permanent basic farmland and high-standard farmland. Cultivated land is mainly used to grow crops such as grain, cotton, oil, and vegetables, and other crops can also be planted appropriately. Farmland is mainly used for large-scale cultivation of grain production bases and important agricultural product planting areas, including wheat, corn, rice and other crops.
Expansion: Cultivated land and farmland, although they are both concepts related to agricultural production, they are different in their specific meanings. Cultivated land, as a broad category, includes different types of land, such as dry land, irrigated land, paddy fields and vegetable fields. These lands are cultivated and can be used by farmers to grow a variety of crops. Farmland is a subdivision of cultivated land, including basic farmland, permanent basic farmland and high-standard farmland. Farmland is a specific piece of land that is used for large-scale cultivation and is mainly used for the cultivation of grain and important agricultural products. Different farmlands have different conditions for crop production, such as wheat, corn, rice, etc.
3.There are also some differences between arable land and farmland in terms of protection. Cultivated land can be occupied according to legal needs, but it is also necessary to apply for approval in accordance with laws and regulations to ensure the balance of cultivated land. For permanent basic farmland and high-standard farmland, it is strictly forbidden to occupy such farmland, even for general projects. In addition, this year, China will also reform and improve the system of balancing the occupation and compensation of cultivated land, and uniformly incorporate all types of occupation of cultivated land into the balanced management of occupation and compensation, so as to better ensure the rational use of cultivated land.
Expansion: There are also some different regulations for different land types for the protection of cultivated land and farmland. For the land identified as general cultivated land, they are mainly used for growing crops such as grain, cotton, oil, and vegetables in terms of the nature and purpose of use. Of course, other crops can also be planted appropriately without destroying the tillage layer and changing the plot changes. Permanent basic farmland and high-standard farmland are strictly protected land and cannot be occupied. Whether it is basic farmland or high-standard farmland, it is an important land resource for large-scale planting, mainly used to grow grain and important agricultural products. In order to protect these farmlands, they cannot be occupied, whether for general projects or major projects. This year, China will also reform and improve the system of balancing the occupation and compensation of cultivated land, and bring all kinds of cultivated land occupation behaviors into unified management, so as to ensure the rational use and sustainable development of cultivated land.
4.There are also a number of different priorities in terms of arable land and the use of agricultural land. Generally, arable land can be used to grow different kinds of crops, and there is no clear order of priority. Farmland, on the other hand, has a clear prioritization of food production. Basic farmland, permanent basic farmland and high-standard farmland are mainly used for the cultivation of wheat, corn and rice to ensure national food security. This prioritization is set to ensure food production and national food security, while other types of arable land can be used for the cultivation of other crops.
Expansion: In the process of using arable land and farmland, the priority of different lands is also involved. In general, arable land is not used in a clear priority and can be used to grow a variety of crops. These cultivated lands have a relatively wide range of use and can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of farmers and the needs of the market. As for farmland, basic farmland, permanent basic farmland and high-standard farmland are all important areas for food production. These farmlands are prioritized and used primarily for crops such as wheat, maize and rice to ensure the country's food security. By setting such priorities, it is possible to ensure a stable food production and to safeguard the country's food needs. Of course, other types of arable land can also be used for the cultivation of other crops, which can be flexibly regulated.
5.From an individual point of view, both cultivated land and farmland should be protected and used in accordance with the law. As individuals, we should actively protect our arable land and farmland, not destroying the cultivated layer, and not changing the nature and use of the land. At the same time, do not occupy farmland to build houses indiscriminately and violate regulations. Because these illegal acts will be severely punished and investigated this year, the determination to protect cultivated land and farmland is very firm. As farmers, we should better understand the importance of farmland, and it is our duty to protect farmland and farmland. It is only through the protection and rational use of arable land and farmland that we will be able to ensure the sustainable development of agricultural production and the country's food security.
Expanding: As individuals, each of us should be aware of the importance of protecting arable land and farmland. Arable land and farmland are the foundation of agricultural production and the guarantee of food security. We should abide by national laws and regulations, protect and use our own farmland and farmland in accordance with laws and regulations. Do not destroy the cultivated layer, do not change the nature and use of the land, and do the same as what you say and do. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention not to indiscriminately occupy farmland to build houses, and not to violate relevant regulations. Because this year, we will severely crack down on illegal occupation of cultivated land and increase the protection of cultivated land. As farmers, we should recognize the importance of farmland and actively participate in the action of farmland protection. Only through the protection and rational use of arable land and farmland can we ensure the sustainable development of agriculture and ensure the food security of the country. Therefore, as individuals, whether it is cultivated land or farmland, we should respect and abide by relevant laws and regulations, and conscientiously maintain and protect our land resources. In this way, we can achieve sustainable development of agriculture and make a positive contribution to our society and country.
Expanding: As individuals, each of us should actively participate in the protection of cultivated land and farmland. All kinds of land resources are the basis of agricultural production and an important basis for achieving food security. Therefore, we should consciously abide by the laws and regulations of the state and protect our cultivated land and farmland. Do not destroy the cultivated layer, do not change the use and nature of the land, and do not occupy the cultivated land to build houses. At the same time, it is also necessary to actively participate in the action of cultivated land protection, and do a good job in soil conservation, soil and water conservation, and ecological restoration. Only on the basis of protecting and rationally utilizing cultivated land and farmland can we ensure the sustainable development of agriculture and ensure China's food security. As farmers, we should be more aware of the importance of protecting cultivated land and farmland, and regard it as our responsibility and obligation. Only by working together can we achieve the goal of agricultural modernization and contribute to the prosperity of the country and the happiness of farmers. Therefore, as individuals, we should be fully aware of our responsibilities and obligations, and actively participate in the protection of cultivated land and farmland. Only through the joint efforts of all can we ensure the sustainable development of agriculture and achieve national food security. Therefore, the protection of cultivated land and farmland should become a conscious action of each of us, so that our land will be more fertile, the output will be more abundant, and we will make greater contributions to society.
