Three ministries and commissions: protect cultivated land like giant pandas

At present, the area of rural land transfer in China has exceeded 30% of the total area of contracted land. Generally speaking, the situation of land transfer is good, but there are also some bad tendencies of non-grain and non-agriculture. Our country has a large population and little land, and arable land, which is related to the problem of feeding more than a billion people, is a top priority, and we must resolutely keep the red line--

Recently, General Secretary Xi Jinping gave important instructions on the protection of cultivated land. On 26 May, the Office of the Central Rural work leading Group, the Ministry of Land and Resources, and the Ministry of Agriculture held a video conference to put forward specific requirements for implementing the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's instructions and instructions and doing a good job in the protection of cultivated land.

The meeting stressed that cultivated land is the most valuable resource in China, and it is necessary to implement the strictest cultivated land protection system and protect cultivated land like giant pandas. At the same time, the meeting also pointed out that it is necessary to do a good job in the reform of the rural land system, and some people should not be allowed to occupy cultivated land in the name of reform.

Experts believe that this shows that the central government will strictly control the pilot gate for the reform of the rural land system, standardize and solve the new problems arising in the balance of occupation and compensation of cultivated land and the protection of cultivated land in accordance with the strictest requirements for the protection of cultivated land.

Our country has a large population and little land, so how to protect the arable land, which is related to the food of more than a billion people, has naturally become a top priority. Jiang Daming, minister of land and resources, said that although the current data on the area of cultivated land has increased, the actual cultivated land used for grain production has not increased. China's basic national conditions of less per capita cultivated land, low quality of cultivated land and insufficient reserve resources of cultivated land have not changed.

In the face of the situation of occupying cultivated land in the process of industrialization and urbanization, our country implements the policy of balance between occupation and compensation of cultivated land, but in the process of land system reform, in some places, there is a phenomenon that the quantity and quality of supplementary cultivated land are not in place, occupy more and make up for less, occupy paddy fields to make up for dry fields.

To this end, we must strengthen planning control and use control, and resolutely adhere to the red line of cultivated land protection. At present, various localities are adjusting and improving the overall land use planning in order to effectively control the scale of agricultural land conversion, control the unreasonable occupation of cultivated land, and strictly prevent industrial and commercial capital from engaging in non-agricultural construction after land transfer.

Last year, a special inspector carried out by the land and resources department found that all localities had problems in varying degrees, such as grant but not for supply, supply but not for use, and inefficient idle land. According to preliminary statistics, the amount of land granted but not supplied to the whole country reached 13 million mu, and idle land reached 1.05 million mu. To this end, China will fully tap the potential of the stock of construction land, strive to reduce the pressure of new construction land on the occupation of cultivated land, strictly implement the balance between occupation and compensation, and ensure that both the quantity and quality of supplementary cultivated land are in place.

Han Changfu, minister of agriculture, said that to guide the orderly circulation of rural land, it is necessary to resolutely prevent "non-grain" and "non-agriculture".

It is reported that at present, the circulation area of rural land in China has exceeded 30% of the total area of contracted land, and some problems have emerged: some places are keen on administration and promotion, and one-sidedly pursue the speed of circulation and super-large-scale operation. after some industrial and commercial capital has entered agriculture, some industrial and commercial capital has directly leased agricultural land for a long time and competed with farmers for profits, some have appeared poor management, causing social contradictions. Some land transfer will be carried out after non-agricultural construction, destroying cultivated land resources.

To this end, last year, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council Office jointly issued the "opinions on guiding the orderly transfer of Rural Land Management Rights to develop appropriate scale Agriculture", which was explicitly prohibited, but there is still a phenomenon of non-compliance to varying degrees in some places.

Experts say that agricultural scale operation can take many forms. In addition to land transfer, it is also possible to improve the level of organization and scale through the development of association and cooperation among farmers and agricultural socialization services.

However, in the process of industrial and commercial capital entering agriculture, it is also necessary to prevent the "non-agriculturalization" and "non-grain conversion" of land, especially the main grain producing areas, grain production functional areas and high-yield demonstration areas. Industrial and commercial capital going to the countryside should devote itself to the development of modern farming and agricultural services suitable for enterprise management.

Industry insiders pointed out that these industries mainly include the processing, storage, transportation and marketing of agricultural products, agricultural socialized services, improved variety breeding, high-standard facility agriculture, and large-scale aquaculture, as well as the development of rural "four wastelands" resources, land renovation, high-standard farmland construction, agricultural environmental governance and ecological restoration.

Recently, the Central Agricultural Office, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce jointly issued the opinions on Supervision and risk Prevention of Industrial and Commercial Capital Leasing of Agricultural Land, which put forward detailed rules for the supervision of industrial and commercial capital going to the countryside. Strictly standardizing the time limit and area of industrial and commercial capital leasing of agricultural land will have a clear upper limit.
