The delineation of permanent basic farmland is not only the need of implementing the strategy of "storing grain in the land" and ensuring national food security, but also the urgent need of promoting the transformation of the mode of economic development, optimizing the spatial layout of urban development and promoting the construction of ecological civilization. Second, it is necessary to implement the principle of giving priority to protection and speed up the work of delineating permanent basic farmland. By the end of next year, the work of demarcating permanent basic farmland will be completed in an all-round way. It is necessary to designate high-quality cultivated land as basic farmland, and further increase the designated area and proportion in accordance with the requirements of "fully delimiting" restricted construction areas and prohibited construction areas. Third, we should focus on the development of modern agriculture and earnestly designate high-quality arable land as permanent basic farmland. In the process of delineating permanent basic farmland, both quantity and quality should be guaranteed. It is necessary to prevent the phenomenon that the row is far away from near, inferior or superior, let alone the mountains and hills without plains and arable land. Fourth, we should pay attention to the construction of a long-term mechanism and pay close attention to the study and formulation of a permanent basic farmland protection and utilization system. The delineation of permanent basic farmland is only the first step, and the next step is to do a good job in the article of "protection, construction, utilization and management". In the demarcation work, attention should be paid to the combination with the confirmation and certification of land contractual management rights and with the system and revision of relevant laws and regulations.
