The management measures for the protection red line of permanent basic farmland are about to be introduced.

To coordinate the relationship between the protection of arable land and the interests of farmers, as well as the development of rural industries, the management measures of the red line for the protection of permanent basic farmland will soon be introduced. This was learned by reporters at a media symposium on "Solving Grassroots Problems and Practical Matters" held by the Ministry of Natural Resources on the 20th. He Yong, Director of the Department of Land Protection Supervision of the Ministry of Natural Resources, said that as a rigid constraint, the special protection system of permanent basic farmland has curbed the disorderly occupation of farmland by various non-agricultural construction projects and restricted the "expansion of the pie" of cities. However, there have been reflections at the grassroots level that the management of permanent basic farmland involves an issue of "excessive rigidity and insufficient flexibility." Therefore, the Ministry of Natural Resources, together with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, has drafted the management measures for the protection of the red line of permanent basic farmland.
