According to the data released by the relevant departments, the current cultivated land area in China has reached 191.4 billion mu provides a solid foundation for China's grain output. In order to ensure production, in 2024 the protection task will be strictly enforced. It is a top priority to implement the tasks of cultivated land and permanent basic farmland protection established in the new round of territorial spatial planning. This red line, the basic area, will be the cornerstone of ensuring food security. The new round of tasks will further refine the planning to ensure that future agricultural production is not affected. We need to pay close attention to local planning and conservation tasks to protect rural farmland.
The protection of cultivated land resources is the top priority related to national food security. The establishment of cultivated land red lines and the determination of permanent basic farmland protection areas make each cultivated land particularly important. The implementation of the conservation task requires the participation of every farmland. Pay close attention to the new round of planning to ensure that there is no non-agricultural and non-grain phenomenon. Only by protecting every inch of cultivated land can we ensure national food security.
The occupation and use of cultivated land in rural areas must follow a strict management system. Arable land"Balance of accounts and compensation"The system requires that the occupying units or localities must supplement the same amount and quality of cultivated land during project development or construction, and ensure that the quality is qualified. In order to avoid the phenomenon of plain occupation and mountain supplementation, the reform of the balance system of occupation and compensation will be carried out in 2024"to make up for the occupation"to ensure the sustainable use of cultivated land with equal emphasis on quality and quantity. Only when the system is perfected can the safety of every piece of cultivated land be guaranteed.
The key to the protection of cultivated land resources is to ensure the balance between occupation and compensation, and to ensure that the quality and quantity of cultivated land to be compensated match the cultivated land occupied. In order to avoid the uneven use of resources, in 2024, we will carry out a reform of the system of balancing the occupation and compensation of cultivated land, and carefully set the rules for the occupation and compensation based on quality to ensure that every inch of cultivated land can be properly utilized. Only by balancing the relationship between occupation and compensation can we achieve the healthy development of cultivated land resources.
In rural areas, the illegal occupation of agricultural land and the illegal extraction of cultivated land have brought serious damage to cultivated land resources. In order to strictly implement the cultivated land protection system, we will carry out rectification and restoration actions for illegal occupation of cultivated land, and severely crack down on illegal acts. We will continue to rectify illegal construction such as "big sheds", protect cultivated land resources in practice, and ensure the sustainable use of cultivated land. Only by thoroughly violating the rules can the safety of rural cultivated land be guaranteed.
Arable land resources in rural areas are constantly under threat from illegal occupation and destruction. In order to effectively protect cultivated land resources, we will continue to crack down on illegal occupation of agricultural land and illegal acquisition of cultivated land in 2024. By rectifying illegal construction such as "big sheds", the integrity and stability of cultivated land resources are guaranteed. Only by severely cracking down on illegal activities can we truly achieve the goal of protecting rural cultivated land.
In 2024, the protection of rural farmland will be strengthened, and a number of strict measures will be taken to ensure national food security and comprehensive rural revitalization. Measures such as strictly implementing a new round of cultivated land and permanent basic farmland protection, reforming and improving the system of balancing farmland occupation and compensation, and cracking down on illegal activities will become the focus. Only by strengthening protection measures to ensure that every inch of arable land is properly utilized can long-term sustainable rural development be achieved.
