Ministry of Land: to ensure that the agricultural use of agricultural land is not changed.

According to the website of the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Land and Resources and the Ministry of Agriculture jointly issued the notice on further supporting the healthy Development of Facility Agriculture (hereinafter referred to as "the notice"). It is forbidden to expand the scope of facility agricultural land at will, and all kinds of agricultural parks involve the construction of permanent catering, accommodation, conferences, large parking lots, factory agricultural products processing, exhibition and other land. The construction land must be managed in accordance with the rules and regulations.

The notice is divided into four parts: the first is to reasonably define the scope of facility agricultural land. The notice divides facility agricultural land into production facilities land, ancillary facilities land and supporting facilities land, further clarifying the scope of three aspects. When defining the scope, the land for supporting facilities needed for large-scale grain production should be included in the scope of facility agricultural land to support large-scale operation of land and large-scale grain production; at the same time, the domestic land in ancillary facilities should be removed from the scope of facility agricultural land.

The notice makes it clear that it is strictly forbidden to expand the scope of facility agricultural land, places for commercial grain storage, processing and storage and maintenance of agricultural machinery and agricultural materials, leisure and sightseeing places based on agriculture, all kinds of manors, wineries and farmhouses, as well as all kinds of agricultural parks involving the construction of permanent catering, accommodation, conferences, large parking lots, factory agricultural products processing, exhibition and other land. The construction land must be managed in accordance with the rules and regulations.

The second is to actively support the development of facility agriculture. The Circular focuses on "the management of facility agricultural land according to agricultural land", "reasonable control of the land scale of ancillary facilities and supporting facilities", "guiding the rational site selection of facilities construction", "encouraging the centralized construction of public facilities" and so on. The notice makes it clear that the land for production facilities, ancillary facilities and supporting facilities is directly used for or serves agricultural production, and its nature belongs to agricultural land and shall be managed according to agricultural land; after the end of production, business operators shall carry out land reclamation in accordance with relevant regulations, and those who occupy cultivated land shall be reclaimed as cultivated land. For the construction of supporting facilities involved in large-scale grain production in plain areas, if the location is really difficult to be arranged on other types of land and can not avoid the basic farmland, the basic farmland can be occupied after demonstration.

The third is to standardize the use of facility agricultural land. The notice requires that those engaged in the construction of facility agriculture should agree on the land use conditions between the operators and the land owners, and give full play to the management role of the township government to standardize the land use behavior. The land use agreement shall be signed by the township government, rural collective economic organizations and operators, and shall be submitted to the competent department of land and resources at the county level and the agricultural department for the record with the facility construction plan, and construction shall not be started if it does not meet the relevant provisions of the facility agricultural land.

Fourth, strengthen the service and supervision of facility agricultural land. The Circular requires that the relevant policies and regulations on the construction and management of facility agricultural land be made public actively, the supervision of facility agricultural land be strengthened, and the law enforcement of facility agricultural land be strictly enforced. It is also stressed that operators must use land in accordance with the agreement to ensure the agricultural use of agricultural land; shall not change the use of land, prohibit the unauthorized or disguised use of facility agricultural land for other non-agricultural construction, and shall not exceed the land use standard. it is forbidden to expand the scale of the use of land without authorization or to expand the scale of facility land in a disguised form by applying for land in stages. The nature of the facilities directly engaged in or serving agricultural production shall not be changed, and the facilities shall be used for other operations without authorization. At the same time, the utilization and management of facility agricultural land will be included in the assessment of the provincial government's responsibility for cultivated land protection.
