Who moved the farmer's cheese from the transferred land villa?

Xingning City, Guangdong Province is an underdeveloped mountain county. In recent years, the county has frequently introduced large projects with "big money and great boldness", taking "one-off land transfer" as a means of land expropriation in disguise, and the rights and interests of farmers have been frequently infringed.

The full name of "land transfer" is "rural land contractual management right transfer", which means that on the basis of the land contract right unchanged, farmers transfer part or all of their contracted village collective land to a third party under certain conditions. The purpose of the system is to improve the efficiency of land use and develop various forms of moderate-scale land management.

However, "rural land" is not a random "transfer", but "rules to follow". According to the law of our country, land transfer should follow the principle of equal consultation and voluntary, and the nature of land ownership and the agricultural use of land should not be changed. However, Xingning City uses the "one-time transfer" of farmers' land for the development of tourism projects, which completely changes the "agricultural" function of land. Under the banner of "land circulation", it is actually land expropriation in disguise, which not only destroys local agricultural production, but also harms the fundamental rights and interests of farmers.

If the city wants to develop, the people can support it, but they cannot infringe upon the rights and interests of the people by illegal circulation. So, who moved the farmers'"cheese"? One is the project developer, who lowers the price in the process of land transfer, and even secretly threatens to force the transfer; second, the local government departments secretly join forces with the developer to stipulate the form and price of the transfer by administrative means. and then wantonly enclose the land. Third, the land department said that the project would not occupy agricultural land, but in practice it acquiesced in the expropriation of agricultural land by the local government, which "opened a trail" in supervision and examination and approval.

In the land use management system, the state clearly requires strict control over the conversion of agricultural land into construction land, special protection for basic farmland, and a "land red line" of 1.8 billion mu, on the one hand, to ensure the basic supply of grain in our country. on the other hand, it is also to protect the basic rights and interests of farmers. It is true that commercial projects can create huge profits, but if farmland and arable land are recruited for "construction", where does food come from? Where should 900 million farmers go?

In order to ensure national food security and safeguard the fundamental rights and interests of the broad masses of farmers, localities should actively implement the policy of protecting cultivated land, strictly abide by the local "land red line", and seriously investigate and deal with all illegal acts of land expropriation and land reclamation. At the same time, improve the land transfer system, standardize the transfer procedures, and ensure agricultural production. Only by keeping the "root of farming" of farmers can we continue the "lifeline" of the country.
