The Ministry of Natural Resources recently issued a notice, clearly requiring resolute prevention of illegal occupation of arable land, damage to the ecological and living environment, and infringement of the legitimate rights and interests of the people. This policy is highly targeted and comes in a timely manner. The protection of arable land is related to food security, which is the "great power of the country". Over the years, no matter how the international situation changes, we have ensured that more than 1.4 billion Chinese people are able to eat at midnight every day, have a full stomach, and their rice bowls are becoming more and more stable, eating better and better. This is to firmly hold onto the agricultural land, which is the lifeblood of food security. The string of farmland protection must always be tightened. In 2022, major typical cases of illegal and irregular practices discovered by farmland protection inspectors were mainly prominent issues such as occupying farmland, digging lakes for landscaping, constructing green belts beyond standards, and building complex estates. Therefore, it is necessary to take tough measures such as "growing teeth" to resolutely curb the "non agricultural" of various types of farmland, prevent the "non grain" of farmland, and have zero tolerance for new illegal activities. Any confirmed violations must be dealt with and rectified in accordance with the law. At the same time, for some high-quality farmland that has been unreasonably lost in the past, we should also adhere to the principle of suitable cultivation for cultivation, suitable forest for forest, and suitable grass for grass, and restore it in a planned and rhythmic manner according to local conditions. However, the recovery process must not be "simplified" or "one size fits all". Based on the national conditions and laws, we will resolutely crack down on the encroachment of cultivated land and permanent basic farmland for gardening, lake building, afforestation, landscaping, etc. This is by no means the so-called "turning over Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle)", "returning forests to farmland", and we cannot steal the concept. The fundamental purpose of orderly implementation of Grain for Green and grasslands is to improve the ecological environment. Practice has shown that by correctly handling the relationship between farmland protection and ecological restoration, it can not only improve the ecological environment, but also promote farmers' income increase, agricultural efficiency increase, rural development, and promote rural revitalization. This year's No. 1 central document of the Central Committee clearly emphasized the need to consolidate the achievements of Grain for Green. The ecological environment needs to be continuously improved. Grain for Green can only be consolidated and cannot be reversed. Grain for Green is strictly limited to slope farmland of more than 25 degrees, seriously sandy farmland, and slope farmland of 15 to 25 degrees in important water source areas. This kind of land is ecologically fragile and suitable for forestry rather than farming. It is strictly prohibited to cultivate arable land in forest land, wetlands, river and lake areas, as well as areas with severe desertification and soil erosion. Moreover, afforestation and tree planting on permanent basic farmland are strictly prohibited. Both aspects are explicitly prohibited. At present, the system, planning, and technical means for addressing both the root cause and root cause of cultivated land protection in China are gradually improving. The Party Central Committee and the State Council have issued China's first "multi planning and integration" national level land spatial planning outline, defining the "three control lines" for the protection of cultivated land and permanent basic farmland, ecological protection red lines, and urban development boundaries. The 1.8 billion mu arable land protection red line and 3.15 million square kilometers ecological protection red line are both high-voltage lines and lifelines. It is necessary to implement the "Guiding Opinions on the Unified Planning of Three Control Lines in National Land Space Planning" in accordance with the principle of combining planning and management, and it is not allowed to demolish the east wall to make up the west wall. These new things ultimately need to "land on the ground" and fall on the actual production and operation of farmers. Technological means and management concepts should also be advanced. In addition to administrative and legal means, economic means should also be better utilized. Through interest adjustment mechanisms, farmers and collective protection of forests should be fully mobilized
