"Farmland is farmland, and it must be fertile land" (the general secretary's concern for food security)
In April last year, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his inspection in Guangxi: "We must strictly implement the joint responsibility of the party and the government for food security, consolidate the responsibility of party committees and governments at all levels to protect cultivated land, and steadily improve the comprehensive grain production capacity."
Cultivated land is the lifeblood of food production.
The general secretary attaches great importance to the protection of cultivated land, and he warned deeply:
"We must strictly prevent sticking to the red line of 1.8 billion mu of arable land, take tough measures to grow teeth, and implement the strictest arable land protection system."
"The requirements for arable land protection must be very clear. The 1.8 billion mu of arable land must live up to its name. Farmland is farmland, and it must be fertile land."
This is a profound insight into the new situation and challenges of food security, and it is also a mobilization order to strictly protect cultivated land.
At the beginning of the new year, all regions and departments took active actions.
Implement the strictest arable land protection system, strictly abide by the red line of 1.8 billion mu of arable land, and ensure that the permanent basic farmland remains above 1.546 billion mu.
Improve the quality of arable land, accelerate the construction of high-standard farmland that guarantees yields under drought and flood, high and stable yields, and builds high-quality fertile fields with "a thousand catties in one season and tons of grain in two seasons".
Protect the ecology of cultivated land, let the tired land "take a breather", and steadily promote the system of cultivated land rotation and fallow.
A series of hard measures to "store grain in the ground" fell into the fields, laying a solid foundation for ensuring food security.
Hard measures to grow teeth, stick to the red line of 1.8 billion mu of arable land
The land is the foundation of food.
"Farmland is farmland" requires the implementation of the strictest arable land protection system in place.
"Cultivated land is the most precious resource in our country. Our country's basic national conditions of more people and less land have determined that we must protect the cultivated land that is important to the food of more than one billion people, and there must be no mistakes."
"Standing to the red line of 1.8 billion mu of arable land, everyone has issued a military order, which must be done, there is no room for bargaining!"
"Protecting cultivated land like protecting giant pandas."
…………
General Secretary Xi Jinping's earnest exhortations turned into resolute actions to firmly hold the red line of arable land.
"Today's arable land is tomorrow's rice bowl, and Tian Changzhi has complied with the responsibility of arable land protection." He Qian, director of the Zhaohua District Bureau of the Natural Resources Bureau of Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province, introduced that Tian Chang's field inspection, satellite remote sensing "seeing in the sky", video Monitoring "real-time viewing", the arable land protection and supervision network is becoming more and more dense, whether it is abandoned land or arable land, can be found at the first time.
Land consolidation is a "key card" for arable land protection.
Walking into Pusi Village, Fayan Town, Shuangbai County, Yunnan Province, with regular fields and spacious mechanized farming roads, it is hard to imagine that this place was once a barren sloping land.
Shuangbai County made good use of the policy, completed 4 land consolidation projects, increased 1,500 mu of cultivated land, and increased the land utilization rate from 49.06% to 72.15%.
Strengthen institutional support and consolidate responsibility layer by layer.
Strictly implement the "quantity-based, production-capacity-centered" cultivated land occupation and compensation balance, implement new models of cultivated land protection such as the "field chief system", use "Internet +" to establish an intelligent cultivated land monitoring and supervision mechanism, and take hard measures to grow teeth. Make sure that "farmland is farmland".
"Farmland is farmland", and we must resolutely curb the "non-agricultural transformation" of cultivated land and prevent "non-food transformation".
In September 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his inspection in Hunan: "We must shoulder the important task of stabilizing food security, steadily increase grain production capacity, comprehensively compact the responsibility for the protection of cultivated land, promote high-standard farmland construction, and resolutely curb all kinds of illegal and indiscriminate occupation of cultivated land. ."
Nowadays, in the fields of Jiangbei Town, Changsha County, Hunan Province, many farmers are ploughing and drying the soil. At an abandoned pond in Wufu Village, construction workers are busy leveling the land, and soon rice will be replanted here.
All regions and departments have strictly controlled the use of arable land, actively reclaimed abandoned land, developed winter idle fields, and ensured that the sown area of grain will only increase.
By the end of January this year, about 11 million mu of idle winter fields had been cultivated in Jiangxi province; the province's intended planting area of early rice was 18.3 million mu, an increase of 18,000 mu over last year.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has made it clear that this year's grain sown area will remain stable at 1.76 billion mu and strive to increase it; it will ensure that grain output will continue to remain above 1.3 trillion kilograms and strive to increase production.
Build more high-standard farmland to ensure that food is produced, supplied, and supplied optimally
The quality of arable land is the foundation of food production.
Farmland "must be fertile land", and it is required to continuously improve the quality of cultivated land to ensure that food is produced, supplied, and supplied well.
How to improve the quality of cultivated land?
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Focus on the protection of cultivated land and the improvement of soil fertility", "We must build high-standard farmland, and truly realize drought and flood protection, high yield and stable yield", "We must take the protection of black land as a major event, and make good use of black land." .
The farmland is raised to the standard, and stable production is guaranteed.
From the land of Lingnan to the water town of Jiangnan, from the granary of the Central Plains to the black land of Northeast China, the quality protection and improvement of cultivated land has been vigorously implemented in various places.
Jiangxi issued a subsidy of 4.29 billion yuan for the protection of arable land and 420 million yuan of arable land rotation funds this year in advance; the reconstruction of high-standard farmland in Henan Province after the disaster is in full swing, the construction period is reversed, and the wall chart battle; Strengthen the soil testing, field experiments and technical training of cultivated land, and continuously improve the quality of cultivated land.
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.
Northeast China's grain output accounts for 1/4 of the country's total.
Protecting the black land is the ballast stone to ensure food security.
On July 22, 2020, in the core demonstration area of the national standardization production base of one million mu of green food raw materials (corn) in Lishu County, Jilin Province, General Secretary Xi Jinping stepped into the depths of the corn field under the scorching sun and walked to the observation point of the black soil section Get an up-close look at black soil conservation and chat with the agricultural experts present.
After listening to the introduction of the pear tree model for protecting black soil, the general secretary said earnestly: "Northeast China is one of the three major black soil regions in the world, the 'Golden Corn Belt' and the 'Hometown of Soybeans'. We must take effective measures to protect the black land, the 'giant panda in arable land', and leave it to future generations."
In order to make good use of black land, the "National Black Land Protection Project Implementation Plan (2021-2025)" clearly stated that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, 100 million mu of black land will be protected and utilized, and the quality of black soil arable land will be significantly improved. Soil organic matter content increased by more than 10% on average.
"The red line of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land must be maintained, and the 500 million mu of saline-alkali land must be fully developed and utilized." In response to the degradation of cultivated land in some regions, such as the acidification of cultivated land in the south and the salinization of cultivated land in the north, all localities have vigorously carried out comprehensive management, transformation and upgrading, and dig deep into the production capacity of cultivated land. .
In the past few days, at the Suidong family farm in Niuzhuang Town, Dongying City, Shandong Province, fertilizer tractors shuttled back and forth, and compound fertilizer was sprinkled from the coulters into the land.
"After deep loosening, the soil has good permeability, water is stored, and the soil fertility is more fertile, and the grain yield per mu has increased from 900 to 1,100 catties." Sui Yanfeng, the person in charge of the farm, said that the deep loosening of the land reduced the proportion of saline-alkali plots on the farm from 20%. To about 5%, the quality of cultivated land has been significantly improved.
Use the best technology to grow the best grains, so that the fertile fields can produce more grains and better grains
The root of food production lies in arable land, and the way out is technology.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Accelerate the construction of a technical system that meets the requirements of high-yield, high-quality, high-efficiency, ecological, and safe agricultural development" and "let farmers master advanced agricultural technology and use the best technology to grow the best grain".
Good field with good technology, increase grain and increase efficiency.
On the production line, workers were busy coating rice seeds; in the training class, agricultural technicians carefully explained green planting techniques to farmers... In the Hongwei Farm of the Sanjiang Branch of the Beidahuang Group, spring ploughing was well prepared.
On September 25, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Great Northern Wilderness to build the Sanjiang National Agricultural Science and Technology Park, emphasizing that "the development of agricultural science and technology should be placed in a more prominent position, vigorously promote agricultural mechanization and intelligence, and add technology to agricultural modernization. wing".
Looking at the whole country, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has done a good job in winter and spring training, organized online and offline special lectures and expert connections, and launched the "Wheat to Promote the Weakness to Strengthen the Summer Grain Harvest Training Month Action" and "Science and Technology Strengthening Seedlings Action", the training boom has driven Spring management is the climax of spring ploughing.
Vigorously promote the unified prevention and control of pests and diseases, joint prevention and control, integrated monitoring, a game of chess scheduling, and a map of command, and strive to control the loss rate of pests and diseases within 5%.
Technology empowers, and the grain harvest is more confident.
On the front line of spring ploughing, agricultural technology extension personnel enter the villages and households, new varieties and new agricultural techniques are implemented, and the vast fields are used. Beidou navigation is used for flat field preparation. good helper.
The comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvesting in my country has reached 72%, and the contribution rate of agricultural scientific and technological progress has exceeded 61%.
Conservation tillage, soil testing and formula fertilization, and green prevention and control of pests and diseases... From north to south, spring ploughing has a stronger "green" meaning.
Gansu Province adheres to the combination of high-standard farmland construction, the promotion and application of high-efficiency water-saving irrigation technology, and the construction of green and standardized production bases to promote ecological protection, food security, and industrial upgrading.
In hilly and mountainous areas, Sichuan Province has carried out the integration of "five good" varieties, good methods, good systems, good fields, and good opportunities, and promoted the compound development model of "grain economy" and "grain economy and feeding".
"Farmland is farmland, and it must be fertile land." In fertile land, new elements are gathered, new kinetic energy is stimulated, production is green, and benefits are improved, and the fields of hope are surging with vitality.
