Offer suggestions and suggestions for the quality protection of cultivated land

On the afternoon of March 8, the consultation on the proposal of "strengthening the protection of cultivated land to provide quality and safe agricultural products for the people" was held in the auditorium of the Beijing CPPCC. Nearly 100 members of the CPPCC National Committee conducted face-to-face consultation and communication with responsible persons from the Central Finance Office, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Health and Family Planning Commission, the State Food Administration, and the State Administration of Food and Drug Administration, and jointly contributed to the protection of the quality of cultivated land and the provision of high-quality and safe agricultural products to the people.

In the part concerning food security, the No. 1 document of the Central Committee this year specifically pointed out that cultivated land is an essential element in order to implement actions to protect and improve the quality of cultivated land and to achieve food security. This year's Congress has put forward many proposals on 'increasing the protection of cultivated land and improving the quality and safety of agricultural products'. This is a hot issue of concern to the people and members of the CPPCC National Committee. Through such active consultations, we can promote the protection of cultivated land and the quality and safety of agricultural products to a higher level. " Sun Gan, chairman of the motions Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, said.

In recent years, serious environmental hazards and health incidents caused by heavy metal pollution have occurred frequently, and the quality and safety problems of agricultural products caused by soil pollution have increased year by year. Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen the prevention and control of soil pollution and the supervision of the quality of cultivated land, and to protect the producing areas of important agricultural products, especially the quality and safety at the source of the main grain producing areas and the "vegetable basket" project base. As the basic guarantee of national food security, permanent basic farmland protection areas should become the focus of the current soil environmental quality supervision. " He Wei, vice chairman of the Central Committee of the Peasants' and Workers' Party, said.

Lai Ming, vice chairman of the Central Committee of the Jiusan Society, suggested: "at present, the appropriate scale operation of rural land is still in the exploratory stage, and the implementation of the appropriate scale operation of rural land is both an opportunity and a challenge to the implementation of the strictest cultivated land protection system. It is imperative to explore a cultivated land protection mechanism suited to the appropriate scale. We should start to build a protection mechanism under the condition of moderate economies of scale in agriculture as soon as possible, prohibit the 'non-agriculturalization' of transferred land, support appropriate transformation and expand the area of cultivated land, and beware of new extensive and predatory production. Binding remediation of the soil. "

"the ability of cultivated land is insufficient, the soil nutrients are out of balance, the ecological function is getting worse, and the pollution is aggravating day by day, which is the overall situation of the quality of cultivated land in our country." At the meeting, many committee members focused more on the quality of cultivated land. They pointed out that to maintain the red line of cultivated land, we should not only protect the effective quantity of cultivated land, but also pay more attention to quality and pay equal attention to both quantity and quality.

In response to the questions and suggestions raised by the committee members, Sun Zhonghua, chief agronomist of the Ministry of Agriculture, said that the quality of cultivated land is related to national food security as well as the quality and safety of agricultural products, and because of the national conditions of large population and little land, China's agriculture has always followed the model of high input and high output. the long-term and high-load use of cultivated land, coupled with the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization, has caused worries about the quality of cultivated land and the decline of basic soil productivity.

In view of the outstanding problems existing in the quality of cultivated land in China, in recent years, the Ministry of Agriculture, together with relevant departments, has taken measures to promote the protection and improvement of cultivated land quality and carry out high-standard farmland construction. strive to add 800 million mu of high-standard farmland guaranteed by drought and waterlogging by 2020; popularize scientific fertilization. Since 2005, the central government has invested 7.8 billion yuan in soil testing and formula fertilization, with a cumulative implementation of more than 1.4 billion mu. To promote the restoration and promotion of soil organic matter, from 2008 to 2014, the central government invested a total of 4 billion yuan to carry out soil organic matter promotion subsidy project, and has implemented more than 100 million mu. "in the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture will conscientiously implement the action deployment requirements for cultivated land quality protection and promotion put forward by the central authorities, and promote the improvement of comprehensive agricultural production capacity and the quality and safety level of agricultural products." Sun Zhonghua said.
