From the perspective of "under the dome", the land pollution of grain production in China is very serious at present. The survey data show that the land polluted by heavy metals in China has exceeded 300 million mu, accounting for 6% of the cultivated land in China. The Ministry of Land and Resources has said that 12 million tons of grain is polluted by heavy metals every year, resulting in direct economic losses of more than 20 billion yuan, which can feed more than 40 million people. In addition, the development of industry in recent years has led to a reduction of grain acreage by about 16%.

The analysis shows that in order to establish a sustainable road of agricultural modernization, on the one hand, it is necessary to consider the environmental pollution of grain production from the perspective of law. it should be specifically regulated from many aspects, such as energy saving and emission reduction of grain production, safe use and management of grain means of production, quality assurance of cultivated land, investigation of pollution responsibility and so on. On the other hand, we should improve the traditional mode of production that causes environmental pollution and damage, vigorously develop ecological agriculture, realize the multi-level use of material and energy, reduce the consumption of resources and energy, and establish a resource-saving agricultural model. At the same time, we should earnestly safeguard the interests of grain farmers and increase their income.
