Look at "contending for Land with Grain and Fruit" from another Angle

Does the logic of land competition among agricultural industries understand?

Yesterday I was still thinking about the decriminalization of land in fruit-growing areas, but today I heard the concept of "competing for land with grain and fruit". There are 61 villages with 30,000 people in Liujiagou Town, Penglai City, Shandong Province. Among the 60,000 mu of arable land in the town, the planting area of fruit trees is about 30,000 mu, mainly planting apples, grapes, cherries and so on. In terms of quantity, the grain planting area accounts for only half of the total arable land area, and more and more grain fields are being converted to fruit trees by local enterprises through land transfer. This undoubtedly gives people the impression of "competing for land with grain and fruit". Through research, we find that this understanding and point of view are open to question.

According to reports, the local cultivated land is divided into three grades, and the proportion of the first and second grade land with better quality is less than 1/3. Most of the cultivated land has thin soil layer, large slope and scattered, so it is difficult to cultivate. When farmers grow food on poor-quality arable land, they basically rely on nature for food, with low output and high cost, resulting in a large number of wasteland. The local Xinyuan Industry and Trade Company transferred the land from the farmers, cut the slope of the surrounding barren mountains and ridges, replanted fruit trees, adopted the concept of industrialization and ecology, and achieved good economic benefits. I think this is not only not "fighting for land", but also realizing the efficient use of land and turning wasteland into "Jinshan".

There are many reasons for the emergence of the understanding of "fighting for land". First, the cultivated land resources in China are very limited, and there is bound to be some competition in the use of land among various industries, which is a fact in terms of quantity, which leads to such an inference. Second, the quality structure of cultivated land resources in China is relatively complex, and the regional nature is obvious. The problem of "land contention" in some areas is not necessarily a problem in other areas. If we generalize the whole country, we will naturally think that this is the case. Third, China has always regarded food security as a national strategy. "cultivated land must grow grain". If there is "non-grain conversion of cultivated land", it will inevitably arouse vigilance and ignore the actual situation.

We believe that the so-called "land struggle" problem will also arise in animal husbandry, vegetables and other industries, but this is not all a bad thing. For the use of cultivated land, we should fully consider the local actual situation and the wishes of farmers, and take measures in accordance with local conditions in order to make full use of cultivated land.
