Firmly hold the red line of 1.8 billion mu of arable land

  In a large country with a population of 1.4 billion, food is always a top priority.

According to Wang Guanghua, Minister of Natural Resources of China, firmly guarding the red line of 1.8 billion mu of arable land is the key to ensuring national food security.

  He stressed that this year will adhere to the most stringent farmland protection system, first of all to do the following three things.

  One is to stabilize the total amount.

The goal of protecting 1.865 billion mu of arable land and 1.546 billion mu of permanent basic farmland will remain unchanged until 2035.

Next, it will be decomposed and distributed step by step, and implemented into map spots and plots.

  The second is to optimize the layout.

This year, economic reward and punishment measures for cultivated land will be adopted to encourage some provinces in the south to restore part of the lost high-quality cultivated land in an orderly manner, effectively curbing the further intensification of the "grain transport from north to south".

  The third is to implement or consolidate responsibilities.

Implement the same responsibility of the party and the government for the protection of cultivated land, life-long accountability, sign a responsibility letter for the protection of cultivated land, and conduct annual assessments. If the red line of cultivated land is broken, it must be vetoed by one vote.

  "After several years of hard work, the trend of continuous decline in the total amount of cultivated land has been initially curbed, and a net increase in cultivated land has been achieved for two consecutive years, but the foundation is not very solid, and we need to further increase efforts." Wang Guanghua believes that in the future, in various fields With the concerted efforts of both parties, the red line of 1.8 billion mu of arable land will surely be maintained, and the rice bowl of the Chinese people will be firmly in their own hands.
