During the spring equinox, the family is busy with rain, so the melons and beans are first planted and then the seedlings are planted.

　　Right now, in Datian Farm, Jiangxiang Town, Nanchang County, Jiangxi Province, drones filled with rice seeds have been launched; in Zhecheng, Henan, agricultural technicians are remotely guiding farmers to do field management work; Longyuan Village, Helan County, Ningxia, wheat automatic The planter is preparing to go to the ground... From north to south, the spring ploughing starts gradually.

　　In all things, eating is the biggest.

　　"Cultivated land is the lifeblood of food production and the foundation of the sustainable development of the Chinese nation." On March 6, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized when visiting members of the agricultural, social welfare and social security circles who attended the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, "Never Allow anyone to be flexible and manipulate in the protection of cultivated land" and "ensure that 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land truly deserves its name."

　　The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has calculated such an account: my country's population of more than 1.4 billion consumes 700,000 tons of grain, 98,000 tons of oil, 1.92 million tons of vegetables and 230,000 tons of meat every day.

　　To meet such a huge consumer demand, the annual sown area of ​​grain, cotton, oil, sugar and vegetables should be stable at 2.3 billion to 2.4 billion mu. If calculated backwards based on the multiple cropping index of 1.3, the cultivated land must be maintained at 1.8 billion mu, which is the bottom line.

　　The amount of arable land is limited and the demand is huge. The use of arable land must be carefully calculated. It is necessary to resolutely curb the "non-agriculturalization" of arable land and the "non-grain transformation" of basic farmland, and regulate the balance of arable land occupation and supplementation.

　　The No. 1 Central Document in 2022 clearly requires that the use of cultivated land should be classified and defined, and the priority of cultivated land use should be strictly implemented.

　　This includes three layers of meaning:

　　First, the cultivated land is mainly used for the production of grain, cotton, oil, sugar, vegetable and forage, which is an annual grass crop and cannot be used for sowing perennial crops;

　　Second, 1.546 billion mu of permanent basic farmland is mainly used for food production;

　　Third, 1 billion mu of high-standard farmland should be used for food production in principle.

　　Illegal occupation of cultivated land for afforestation, construction of green passages exceeding the standard, illegal occupation of cultivated land for digging lakes and landscaping... In 2020, the State Council issued the "Notice on Resolutely Stopping the "Non-agriculturalization" of Cultivated Land, which clearly prohibits these "involvement". Be flexible and play tricks" and "do not feel sorry for the cubs to sell the land".

　　"It is planned to plant 30 mu of soybeans this year, of which 15 mu are rotated." Recently, Liang Junfu, a villager in Jingjian Village, Suihua City, Heilongjiang, has all the seeds and fertilizers in place. "For soybeans, there is a rotation subsidy of 150 yuan per mu. This one is equivalent to earning an extra 2,250 yuan.”

　　Grain and bean crop rotation is an important measure to speed up the protection and restoration of the black soil ecological environment and improve the comprehensive grain production capacity.

　　From a qualitative point of view, my country's cultivated land accounts for more than 2/3 of low-yield fields, and there are still problems such as degradation of black land in the northeast, acidification of cultivated land in the south, and salinization of cultivated land in the north.

It is necessary to improve the protection and utilization of black soil, strengthen soil salinization and acidification control, and build high-standard farmland.

　　The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs proposed that by the end of this year, a total of 1 billion mu of high-standard farmland with drought and flood guarantees will be built across the country, and the grain production capacity will be more than 1 trillion kilograms.

In order to build high-standard farmland, all parts of the country have made great efforts——

　　Gansu combines high-standard farmland construction with abandoned land remediation, efficient water-saving irrigation, and mechanized transformation of mountain and dry land to promote food security, ecological protection, and industrial upgrading. Strengthen arable land soil testing, field trials and technical training...

　　According to relevant data, after the completion of high-standard farmland, it can improve the utilization efficiency of water and soil resources, enhance the ability of grain production and disaster prevention and mitigation, and the grain production capacity of the project area can be increased by 10%-20% on average.

　　In addition to clear requirements for the utilization of cultivated land, strict responsibility assessment is also required.

　　The Central Rural Work Conference in 2020, and the Central No. 1 document for two consecutive years in 2021 and 2022 emphasized "taking hard measures of 'long teeth'", which shows my country's determination and strength in protecting cultivated land.

　　The hard measures of "long teeth" comprehensively consolidate the responsibility of local party committees and governments at all levels to protect cultivated land, which can be understood from the following keywords:

　　"Lifelong Accountability".

The central and local governments sign the responsibility letter for the protection of cultivated land, and use it as a rigid indicator to implement strict assessment, one-vote veto, and lifelong accountability.

　　"What needs to be full is not a difference, and what needs to be placed is not just the book number. It is broken down to various places, and the central and local governments will sign the responsibility letter, and the above picture will be stored in the warehouse..." This year, the whole country At the two sessions, the person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs made a detailed explanation.

　　"Full supervision".

Implement and improve the policy of balancing the occupation and compensation of cultivated land, and establish a whole-process supervision mechanism for the establishment, implementation, acceptance, management and maintenance of complementary cultivated land, so as to ensure that the complementary cultivated land can be used stably for a long time, and truly realize that the production capacity of the complementary cultivated land is equivalent to the occupied cultivated land.

　　"Strict control".

It is necessary to intensify the law enforcement and supervision of cultivated land, and strictly investigate and punish the illegal occupation of cultivated land for non-agricultural construction.

Strengthen the control over the use of cultivated land, and strictly control the conversion of cultivated land to other agricultural land.

　　Promote the establishment of a "five-level" grid supervision system of provinces, cities, counties, townships and villages to form a synergy for cultivated land protection; comprehensively check the amount of cultivated land, permanent basic farmland and the utilization of high-standard farmland, find out the base of cultivated land, and clarify The specific location and use of each piece of arable land, control of the planting structure... Various places have introduced measures to ensure strict control of arable land.

　　Field inspections by Chang Tian, ​​satellite remote sensing "seeing in the sky", and video surveillance "seeing in real time"... The hard measures of "long teeth" have made the cultivated land protection and supervision network more and more dense.

　　Food is the head of government, and grain is the life of the people; preparation is the permanent way of the country.

　　"In the past, some villagers used to grow loquats, grapes, seedlings, dig ponds for aquaculture, etc. in the fields, whichever makes money does which one." The thing is, farmland is still farmland, and it is good land." "In the future, we will rely on these good fields to live a good life." This is the voice of farmers, and it is also a gratifying change achieved by my country's strict protection of cultivated land.

　　Farmland is farmland, and farmland must be fertile land.

We must firmly uphold the red line of 1.8 billion mu of arable land and secure the "Chinese rice bowl".
