Food comes from grain, and grain comes from the earth. Arable land is our country's most precious resource. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee and the State Council have implemented a series of hard measures to maintain the red line of cultivated land and initially curb the continued decline in the total amount of cultivated land. Data shows that as of the end of 2022, the country's total cultivated land area is 1.914 billion acres, a net increase of approximately 1.3 million acres compared with the end of 2021. The total cultivated land area has achieved a net increase for two consecutive years. With 9% of the world's arable land, my country has fed nearly one-fifth of the world's population. From 400 million people back then to more than 1.4 billion people eating well today, it has effectively answered the question "Who will feed China?" However, the basic national situation of my country with more people and less land has not changed. In some places, the awareness of land conservation is not strong enough. Illegal occupation of land and "non-agricultural" and "non-grain" phenomena of cultivated land occur from time to time. Various types of problems that impact the red line of cultivated land protection occur. The factors are complex and intertwined, and the task of protecting farmland remains arduous.

Pure soil produces kosher food, and an excellent soil environment is the foundation and prerequisite for ensuring the health of farmland and the quality and safety of agricultural products. Basically establish a system of laws and regulations for soil pollution prevention and control, promulgate the "Soil Pollution Prevention and Control Law", and formulate a series of standards and specifications such as the "Soil Environmental Quality Agricultural Land Soil Pollution Risk Management and Control Standards (Trial)"; complete a detailed survey of the soil pollution status of agricultural land across the country, and basically The soil pollution status of cultivated land in China has been clarified, and the area and distribution of soil pollution in agricultural land in China and its impact on the quality of agricultural products have been preliminarily identified; a national soil environment monitoring network and basic database have been initially constructed, with a total of 2,364 background points, 20,063 basic points and 9,483 risk monitoring points to monitor the overall change trend of the soil environment; comprehensively implement the cultivated land classification management system, so far, the safe utilization rate of contaminated cultivated land nationwide has stabilized at more than 90%; in-depth fight against agricultural and rural pollution control, promote Key tasks such as soil testing and formula fertilization, replacing chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers, precise pesticide application, and green prevention and control, promoting the application of pesticide-saving technologies such as ecological regulation, physical control, and biological control, and strengthening the resource utilization of agricultural film waste... For a period of time, The national ecological environment system implements the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council. The trend of increasing soil pollution in our country has been initially curbed, soil environmental risks have been basically controlled, and the battle to protect the pure soil has achieved positive results.

Cultivated land protection is a systematic project, and soil pollution prevention and control is an important part of it. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, further strengthening related work requires us to continue to make efforts and achieve long-term results in strengthening the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution in cultivated soil, strictly implementing the classified management system, and strengthening the prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "cultivated land is our country's most precious resource" and "protecting cultivated land must be done like protecting cultural relics, even like protecting giant pandas." In the new era and new journey, the task of protecting farmland has not eased, but has become more arduous. Only by strengthening the prevention and control of soil pollution, weaving a dense farmland protection network, vigorously promoting land conservation and intensive use, and reducing the occupation of farmland can we consolidate the foundation of national food security, promote green transformation and development, and ensure that the land inherited from us by future generations will still be a fertile soil full of vitality. .
