Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou took the lead in demarcating permanent basic farmland in suburbs, urban construction needs to detour

The Ministry of Land and Resources and the Ministry of Agriculture issued a report that the areas around cities and towns and along transportation lines are easy to be given priority to the protection of high-quality cultivated land. 14 cities will take the lead in delineating.

According to the website of the Ministry of Land and Resources and the Ministry of Agriculture, a few days ago, the Ministry of Land and Resources and the Ministry of Agriculture jointly issued the "Circular on further doing a good job in the delineation of permanent basic farmland" (hereinafter referred to as "the notice"), requiring that on the basis of the existing work of delineating permanent basic farmland, priority will be given to the existing high-quality farmland around cities and towns and along transportation lines that can be easily occupied as permanent basic farmland.

According to the arrangement, the delimitation of permanent basic farmland around 14 cities, namely, Beijing, Shenyang, Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Xiamen, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Guiyang and Xi'an, will be carried out first. the national permanent basic farmland delimitation and achievement improvement work will be fully completed by the end of 2016.

In some places, the row is far away, not close, inferior or excellent.

At present, the degree of overlap between some urban planning and construction land and high-quality cultivated land is relatively high, and there are still many high-quality cultivated land around large and medium-sized cities that have not been designated as permanent basic farmland, and the phenomenon that urban development occupies high-quality cultivated land is still quite prominent; at the same time, in some places, there is still the phenomenon of being far away and not good. To this end, the "Circular" stressed that it is necessary to fully understand the importance and urgency of the delineation of permanent basic farmland and dutifully protect cultivated land resources.

It is proposed to start with cities with a population of more than 5 million.

The "Circular" requires that the demarcation work should follow the principle of giving priority to cultivated land protection and attaching equal importance to quantity and quality, and strictly delineate the red line for permanent basic farmland protection in accordance with the requirements of basically stable layout, no reduction in quantity, and improvement in quality. The demarcation work should be coordinated with the demarcation of urban development boundaries and the red line of ecological protection, and should be integrated with economic and social development planning, overall land use planning, urban and rural planning, and other work.

Each province (autonomous region and city) starts with mega-cities with a population of more than 5 million, provincial capitals and cities separately listed on the plan, and is delineated according to the order of cities and towns from large to small, space from near to far, cultivated land quality and soil fertility grade from high to low.
