Unswervingly implement the strictest cultivated land protection system

A video conference on the delineation of permanent basic farmland and the management of facility agricultural land was held on January 5. Li Keqiang, member of the standing Committee of the political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and premier of the State Council, gave important instructions. The instruction points out that China has a large population and little land, and it is necessary to keep the red line of cultivated land and the red line of basic farmland at all times. It is necessary to attach equal importance to quantity and quality, strictly delimit permanent basic farmland, strictly implement special protection, tighten the "fence" for the protection of cultivated land, and build a solid foundation stone for the country's food security. To change the mode of agricultural development and promote agricultural modernization, we need the development of facility agriculture. We should not only clarify its special land use policy, but also strictly standardize land use management, strengthen monitoring and inspection, and seriously deal with the problems of land violations. Local governments at all levels should earnestly assume the main responsibility and unswervingly implement the strictest cultivated land protection system and the strictest land-saving system in the process of deepening the reform of the rural land system and promoting a new type of urbanization. leave fertile land and green fields to future generations.

The meeting made comprehensive arrangements for the delineation of permanent basic farmland and the management of facility agricultural land, requiring all localities to protect and enhance the production capacity of cultivated land, attach equal importance to quantity and quality, and co-ordinate the protection and construction of high-quality cultivated land. We will carry out the delimitation of permanent basic farmland in an all-round way. At the same time, we should strictly standardize the management of facility agricultural land, strengthen monitoring and inspection, and promote the healthy development of large-scale grain production and facility agriculture.
