China News Service, Beijing, November 2 (Reporter Pang Wuji) The Ministry of Natural Resources reported on the 2nd that recently, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the National Forestry and Grassland Administration jointly issued the "Notice on Improving the Management of Facility Agricultural Land" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"), adopting a positive list to distinguish the methods of facility agricultural land, and improving measures in terms of site selection, scale, filing, registration, and supervision of facility agricultural land.
The "Notice" requires distinguishing the land use methods for facility agriculture and implementing differentiated management through the "Positive List of Land Used by Facility Agriculture". Facilitated agriculture that does not cause damage to the farming layer shall be managed according to the original land use, and there is no need to go through land use procedures; production and ancillary facilities that cause damage to the farming layer and directly serve agricultural production shall be managed as facility agricultural land, and registration procedures for facility agricultural land shall be completed. Facilities that are not included in the "positive list of land used for facility agriculture" must go through the construction land approval procedures.
In order to coordinate the location selection of facility agricultural land and reasonably control the scale of facility agricultural land, the "Notice" proposes to rely on the "one map" of land spatial planning to clarify the general site selection requirements for facility agricultural land and actively guide the rational layout of facility agriculture, especially large-scale breeding.
The location selection of facility agricultural land encourages the use of unused land such as Gobi desert saline-alkali land, existing construction land and various types of idle land, and is allowed to occupy cultivated land other than permanent basic farmland. At the same time, in order to encourage more direct use of facility agricultural land for agricultural production, the "Notice" does not impose restrictions on the scale of production facilities, and implements land use proportion and scale upper limit controls for different types of ancillary facilities.
The "Notice" emphasizes that the registration of facility agricultural land should be standardized and supervision should be strengthened, and the registration level of facility agricultural land should be raised to the county level. The county-level natural resources authorities will take the lead in strictly controlling the registration while providing real estate registration services to effectively protect the rights and interests and facilitate the people. It is necessary to strengthen the supervision of land used for facility agriculture. If there is a situation included in the "Negative List of Land Used for Facility Agriculture", the registration will be cancelled, and the land will be seriously dealt with in accordance with laws and regulations. Provincial natural resources authorities should rely on the "one map" of land and spatial planning to establish a management module for facility agricultural land and implement full-chain and full-life cycle supervision. It is necessary to actively guide the reuse of agricultural land with idle facilities, and restore the land that is no longer used to its original purpose.
