The Vitality of China's Land from a Space Perspective of Special Protection of Permanent Basic Farmland Satellite | Farmland | Earth
CCTV News: The reporter learned from the Ministry of Natural Resources that the essence of cultivated land, permanent basic farmland, has been comprehensively designated and specially protected by the state. Permanent basic farmland is a high-quality cultivated land designated by law, with a focus on developing food production, especially ensuring the planting area of the three major grains of rice, wheat, and corn. As of now, 1.546 billion acres of permanent basic farmland have been designated nationwide.

The Ministry of Natural Resources stated that in accordance with the principles of ensuring basic self-sufficiency of grains, absolute food security, and basic stability of grain planting scale, the state has clarified the protection tasks of permanent basic farmland in each province, and requires that all permanent basic farmland shall not be converted into other agricultural land such as forests, grasslands, gardens, and agricultural facility construction land.

Chen Xiuxin, Director of the Comprehensive Department of the Farmland Protection Supervision Department of the Ministry of Natural Resources: Permanent basic farmland is an important material guarantee for food production. According to the relevant provisions of the Land Management Law, once permanent basic farmland is designated, no organization or individual may occupy or change its use without authorization. If it is necessary to occupy it for major construction projects, it must be approved by the State Council, and it is prohibited to occupy permanent basic farmland for the development of forestry and fruit industry and digging ponds for fish farming.

The latest National Land and Space Planning Outline also specifies that the protection goals of 1.865 billion mu of arable land and 1.546 billion mu of permanent basic farmland will remain unchanged until 2035. This year, the Ministry of Natural Resources has decomposed and assigned protection tasks to specific land parcels in the process of reviewing and approving the national land spatial planning at the provincial, municipal, and county levels.

Zhu Daolin, Vice Dean of the School of Land Science and Technology at China Agricultural University: More, more systematic, and stricter measures have been implemented for the protection of arable land. Through intelligent measures, monitoring and protection of arable land utilization and protection have been carried out. At the same time, strict control over the non agriculturalization of arable land has been further implemented to further restrict the non agriculturalization of arable land and ensure that sufficient arable land is used for agricultural production, especially grain production, to ensure food security. This has played an important role in safeguarding the red line of 1.8 billion acres of arable land.
