Research On The Management And Control Of Using Cropland For Any Purpose Other Than Agriculture In Yixian,Hebei Province

With the phased tension in the international trade situation and the pandemic of novel coronavirus pneumonia,grain is not only the lifeblood of China’s 1.4 billion population,but also the most important strategic resource.In the past two years,food security has been raised to an unprecedented height by the Party Central Committee and the State Council.A number of important documents on agriculture,rural areas and farmers have been issued one after another,requiring strict adherence to the red line of cropland,ensuring grain production and preventing using cropland for any purpose other than agriculture.Our country has conducted decades of research and practice on banning the use of cropland for non-agricultural purposes,especially the designation of general cropland and permanent basic cropland,the balance of cropland occupation and compensation and other mechanisms are becoming more and more mature,but there is still a lack of effective measures for the management and control of using cropland for any purpose other than agriculture in the process of agricultural production.In particular,people’s demand for food diversity is gradually growing,and various regions continue to build advantageous areas for characteristic agricultural products.In some regions,the adjustment of agricultural structure is simply understood as reducing grain production and large-scale transfer of industrial and commercial capital to plant non-grain crops on cropland,which cause the continuous increase of non-grain crops planting.What’s worse,illegally planting trees and digging ponds on permanent basic cropland bring about a serious tendency of using cropland for any purpose other than agriculture,resulting in a significant reduction in the grain acreage,and making it difficult to guarantee food security.In order to ensure food security,we should develop facility agriculture,and take effective measures by means of public administration to control the phenomenon of using cropland for any purpose other than agriculture,not only comply with the requirements of the econimic performance and development,constantly optimize the agricultural production structure and regional layout.On the basis of extensive research on the protection of cropland and basic farmland,the balance of cropland occupation and compensation and other related literatures,this paper analyzes the causes of using cropland for any purpose other than agriculture in Yixian,Hebei Province,summarizes its negative impact,and comprehensively combs the measures,problems and causes of the management and control of using cropland for any purpose other than agriculture in Yixian,by using the externality theory,public goods theory and behavioral economics theory,through survey research,comparative research,case analysis,and quantitative analysis methods.Finally,the paper puts forward management and control strategies of using cropland for any purpose other than agriculture from six aspects:improving the cropland protection system,regulating the occupation of cropland,establishing the cropland compensation system,promoting the balance of cropland occupation and compensation,giving full play to the role of village level organizations,and implementing supervision and assessment.Based on the discipline of public administration and the discipline of agriculture and forestry economics,this topic studies how to control the phenomenon of using cropland for any purpose other than agriculture in the process of modernization agricultural and rurban development.According to the relevant empirical research,this paper can provide objective data support for others to study related issues,further enrich the research results of food security and the causes,impact and control of using cropland for any purpose other than agriculture.
