The hillside land should be adapted into agricultural land instead of the amount of agricultural land allocated by counties and cities. The ring delegation questioned the elastic discharge of water.

In view of the agricultural development area of the "National Land Plan (draft)", the Construction Department held its second meeting on the 2nd. According to the statistics of the current regional planning agricultural and animal husbandry land, breeding land (excluding industrial areas, rural areas, river areas) and urban planning agricultural areas, there are a total of 930000 hectares of agricultural land, and it is determined that the established amount of agricultural land in each county and city is enough to achieve the total amount of agricultural land. The decision to delete the allocation of counties and cities in the national land plan will soon be left to each county and city to decide how much agricultural land to allocate, which is not subject to the limit of the total area of agricultural land that should be maintained.

However, in the past, the result of the agricultural land survey by the Council of Agriculture was only 680000 hectares, while the Urban and Rural Development Branch counted 930000 hectares. Why is there such a gap?. The Urban and Rural Development Branch explained that the 680000 hectares of agricultural land checked by the Council of Agriculture is based on the current situation of grain production, but in fact, on the hillside, there are 180000 hectares of suitable agricultural and pastoral land, which can contribute to grain production, and the total amount of agricultural land can be achieved by adding the two together.

Wu Qirong, commissioner of the Earth Citizens Foundation, points out that "such a flexible way is definitely to release water. The central and southern counties and municipal governments just do not want to designate agricultural development areas." In addition, there is a lot of suitable agricultural and pastoral land in Taiwan, and if all of them are converted to agricultural use, it is bound to give rise to a lot of conflicts and contradictions. "how on earth are we going to convert these hillside land suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry into agriculture?. Is it woodland or is it used for agriculture? There is a great conflict between them. "

Subsidies for the establishment of rural areas should be injected into financial resources

Xu Wenfeng pointed out that every county and city should be held responsible for the country's total agricultural land target of 740000 to 810000 hectares. "in theory, we should not bear the responsibility according to the current agricultural land of each county and city, but the population of each county and city." you have to bear as much responsibility. "

In response to the draft national land plan, which defines the area of agricultural land and gives equal agricultural resources and subsidies, Xu Wenfeng said that the division of agricultural land must also emphasize the equal injection of financial resources, which really affects the willingness of local governments to set up land and implement financial fairness. If agricultural land is to be converted into urban and rural development areas, there must be an ecological compensation mechanism, including groundwater injection, microclimate adjustment function, ecological diversity and so on.

Lu Shuhui said that it is pointed out in the draft that agricultural resources should be subsidized to attract local governments to set up agricultural development zones. "but what are the equivalent agricultural resources?" Is there enough incentive? " These should be worked out first, instead of waiting for the land to be zoned. In this way, it is very difficult to resist the incentives for agricultural land to be converted into land and industrial land.

Guidelines for the formulation of unregistered factories

In the part of unregistered factories, the draft national land plan also formulates guiding principles. Local governments should have information on unregistered factories, draw up counseling and cleaning plans, and provide classified guidance, which can be divided into two parts. The first part is the transformation and relocation of factories. The area will be designated as an agricultural development area and agricultural use will be restored.

The second part is the reasonable and legal use of land, which is divided into industry-related, land plan evaluation and city 2-3; agriculture-related, land plan to set up farmers 2, 3, 4, but must follow the new capital plan or apply for use permission. at the same time, manufacturers must set up pollution control equipment and buffer facilities to internalize externalities and pay feedback or impact fees in accordance with the law.

Zhang Shuzhen of the Environmental Information Center points out that the legalization of project counseling in the draft National Land Plan is based on the thinking of land development, not on the premise of land conservation and natural assets. "the National Land Plan should not allow these unregistered factories to legally develop and change land. If these factories affect agriculture, pollution and occupation of agricultural land, priority should be given to the use of space." For these non-low-pollution factories, the planning units should emphasize spatial guidance, carry out relocation guidance and transformation, and finally regional changes, emphasizing that the land can only be legalized because the land is seriously disturbed and cannot be restored, and it should be safe and reasonable. This should be the order.

Wu Qirong said that if there is no consolidation of rural affiliated industries, there may be defects, and existing resources should be introduced into Nongsi, instead of all being dealt with in the form of illegal factories.

Urban and Rural Development Branch: the total amount of agricultural land is only the basis of the lowest limit

In response to questions from the outside world, the Urban and Rural Development Branch responded that on the basis of basic food security, it is absolutely not the basis for maintaining the total amount of agricultural land in the country. This is the basis for ensuring the survival of the lowest limit. Through the national land plan, from the first to the fifth agriculture, provide guidance, operation and subsidies to land, and strengthen the investigation and punishment of violations, so that the total amount of agricultural land can be maintained.

With regard to the mechanism for checking the distribution of agricultural land in various counties and cities, the Urban and Rural Development Branch also explained that the future county and city land plans will examine which places are faster or slower, and we can also examine whether the total amount of agricultural land meets the demand. if the total amount of agricultural land cannot be achieved, the Ministry of the Interior also has statutory authority to require places.

The Council of Agriculture said that in addition to providing food, agricultural land also has biodiversity and significance value. from the point of view of the Council of Agriculture, it is also the attitude of maintaining real agricultural land, and everyone agrees that the total amount of agricultural land is a low standard. it should be included in the principles of the National Land Plan to maintain agricultural land, ensure that it will not be developed again, and that there is a clearer mechanism to assess and strengthen agricultural area.

With regard to the distribution of various counties and cities, the Council of Agriculture also said that all counties and cities must bear their own responsibilities, and this is also land justice. In the face of different voices from the outside world, the Council of Agriculture supports the balance of equal investment in financial and agricultural resources, so that all counties and cities can better cooperate with the division of land.

Chen Jiming, director of the Urban and Rural Development Branch, stressed that in the management of urban and rural development and growth, local governments must put forward specific needs, and after external examination, if agricultural land is to be converted into urban and rural development areas, it must be reviewed as a whole. There is a complete mechanism that can be tested and dealt with. "people will not trust the local government, but the national system is divided into the central government and the local government, each has its own thing to do, and the local government must play a role. If it is not implemented, it should strengthen its enforcement capacity, instead of depriving the central government of all rights. The land plan should be a partnership, and if it is only to prevent local governments, there will be no foresight."
