Li Qiang CAI Qiding Xue Xiang attended

Li Qiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Premier of The State Council and Deputy Director of the Financial and Economic Commission of the CPC Central Committee, CAI Qi, member of the Financial and Economic Commission of the CPC Central Committee and Ding Xuexiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Vice Premier of The State Council and member of the Financial and Economic Commission of the CPC Central Committee attended the meeting.

The meeting heard reports from the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Central Finance Office (Central Agriculture Office) and the National Development and Reform Commission on strengthening the protection of cultivated land and the comprehensive transformation and utilization of saline-alkali land.

The meeting pointed out that our Party has always attached great importance to the protection of cultivated land, and since the 18th National Congress of the Party, the Party Central Committee has implemented a series of hard measures to keep the red line of cultivated land and initially curb the continuous decline in the total amount of cultivated land. At the same time, we must clearly realize that China's national conditions of more people and less land have not changed, the problem of "non-grain" and "non-agricultural" cultivated land is still prominent, the foundation of holding the red line of cultivated land is not stable, and there are still many debts in the field of farmland water conservancy. On the new journey of the new era, the task of farmland protection has not been lightened, but has become more arduous. We must adhere to the problem-oriented and goal-oriented approach, respect the law, guide the situation, adapt to local conditions, and make long-term achievements, and further strengthen the protection of cultivated land.

The meeting stressed that the protection of cultivated land is a systematic project, and it is necessary to highlight the major requirements such as attaching equal importance to quantity and quality, strict law enforcement, systematic promotion and sustainable utilization, and further adopt solid measures. We must consolidate our responsibility for protecting cultivated land, implement a new round of tasks for protecting cultivated land and permanent basic farmland, as specified in the national space plan, and ensure that the red line of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land will never be broken.

It is necessary to make every effort to improve the quality of cultivated land and truly turn cultivated land, especially permanent basic farmland, into modern good land suitable for farming, guaranteed harvest in drought and flood, and high and stable yield. It is necessary to reform and improve the system of the balance of land occupation and compensation, integrate all types of land occupation into the management of the balance of land occupation and compensation, adhere to the "to compensate for the occupation", and improve the quality acceptance system of supplementary land. It is necessary to mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers and local governments to protect cultivated land and harvest grain, establish a mechanism to ensure the income of grain farmers, develop various forms of appropriate scale operation, establish a benefit compensation mechanism for major grain-producing areas, and form a joint force for the protection of cultivated land in major grain-producing areas, major grain-selling areas, and areas with balanced production and marketing. Strengthen the management of abandoned land, find out the situation, promote classification, and plant abandoned land according to local conditions. It is necessary to actively develop all kinds of non-traditional cultivated land resources, strengthen scientific and technological research and development and production investment, explore effective development models, and break through the natural constraints of scarcity of traditional cultivated land in China. Rectification and rehabilitation of illegally occupied farmland should be practical, respect the law, protect the interests of farmers, strengthen publicity and interpretation, properly leave a transitional period, and promote step by step.

The meeting pointed out that the comprehensive transformation and utilization of saline-alkali land is an important aspect of the protection and improvement of cultivated land, and there are more saline-alkali land in China, and the trend of saline-alkali cultivation in some areas is intensified, so it is of great significance to carry out comprehensive transformation and utilization of saline-alkali land. It is necessary to fully tap the comprehensive utilization potential of saline-alkali land, strengthen the transformation and upgrading of existing saline-alkali farmland, effectively curb the trend of saline-alkali cultivation, and do a good job in saline-alkali land agriculture. It is necessary to have a comprehensive picture of the situation of saline-alkali land resources, study and formulate a master plan and special implementation plan for the comprehensive utilization of saline-alkali land, improve saline-alkali land by zoning and classification, utilize saline-alkali land according to local conditions, obtain food from all types of saline-alkali land resources, combine "suitable land species" with "suitable land species", accelerate the selection of saline-alkali tolerant varieties, and vigorously promote effective practices for the treatment and improvement of saline-alkali land. We will strengthen the protection of factors such as water resources and capital.

The meeting deliberated and adopted the Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Comprehensive Utilization of Saline-alkali Land.

The meeting also examined other matters.
