　　The "Three Adjustments" is a major national condition and national strength survey, and it is also a unified natural resource basic survey carried out after the reform of the party and state institutions.

The results of the "three adjustments" data comprehensively and objectively reflect the state of my country's land use, as well as the problems in cultivated land protection, ecological construction, and conservation and intensive land use, and targeted measures must be taken to improve them.

We must adhere to the strictest farmland protection system, consolidate the responsibility of local party committees and governments at all levels to protect farmland, and implement the same responsibility of the party and government.

We must resolutely curb the "non-agriculturalization" of arable land, strictly control the "non-grainization", and strictly control the conversion of arable land to other agricultural land.

Strictly investigate and punish all types of illegal occupation of cultivated land or changes in the use of cultivated land.

Standardize and improve the balance of arable land occupation and compensation.

Ensure the completion of the objectives and tasks of arable land retention and permanent basic farmland protection determined by the national plan.

We must adhere to the system concept, strengthen top-level planning, adapt measures to local conditions, and coordinate ecological construction.

We must insist on conservation and intensiveness, reasonably determine the scale of newly-added construction land, and improve the efficiency of land development and utilization.

Continue to promote the development and utilization of the existing urban and rural construction land, and improve the policy system for the government to guide the market to participate in the redevelopment of low-efficiency urban land.

Strengthen land use standards and evaluation of economical and intensive land use, and vigorously promote land-saving models.

　　The results of the "three adjustments" are the basic basis for the state to formulate major strategic plans and important policy measures for economic and social development.

It is necessary to strengthen the sharing and application of the results of the "three adjustments" and use the results of the "three adjustments" as a unified base and base map for territorial and spatial planning and various related special plans to promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities.
