What are the main responsibilities of the provincial people's government for farmland protection? How to implement it?

According to the Decision of the State Council on Deepening Reform and Strict Land Management (Guo Fa [2004] No.28) and the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Printing and Distributing (Guo Ban Fa [2005] No.52), the assessment criteria for the target of cultivated land protection responsibility of the provincial people's government are: the amount of cultivated land in the administrative area shall not be lower than the cultivated land assessment index issued by the State Council; The basic farmland protection area shall not be lower than the assessment index of the basic farmland protection area issued by the State Council; After all kinds of non-agricultural construction are approved to occupy cultivated land and basic farmland according to law, the area and quality of supplementary cultivated land and basic farmland shall not be lower than the occupied area and quality.

According to the above provisions, the responsibilities of the provincial people's government for farmland protection mainly include: strengthening the overall land use planning and land use planning management, and not adjusting the overall land use planning and approving the conversion of over-planned agricultural land in violation of laws and regulations; Implement various policies and measures to protect cultivated land, and ensure that the amount of cultivated land within the jurisdiction is not lower than the control index issued or decomposed by the people's government at a higher level; Implement special protection for basic farmland to ensure that the protected area of basic farmland within the administrative area is not reduced, the use remains unchanged, and the quality is improved; The quantity and quality of supplementary basic farmland shall not be lower than the quantity and quality occupied; Strictly implement the balance system of cultivated land occupation and compensation to ensure that the area and quality of supplementary cultivated land are not lower than that of occupied cultivated land after non-agricultural construction projects are approved to occupy cultivated land according to law; Ensure that the paid land use fees for new construction land are paid in full and on time, and the paid land use fees for new construction land are earmarked for basic farmland construction and protection, land consolidation and cultivated land development; Ensure that major cases of illegal land use do not occur, especially cases of occupying cultivated land and basic farmland, and ensure that cases of illegal land use are investigated and dealt with in a timely manner.

Practical handbook of land and resource management

To implement the target responsibility system for cultivated land protection and strengthen the assessment of local people's governments at all levels to fulfill the target responsibility for cultivated land protection, we should take the amount of cultivated land, the area of basic farmland protection, the balance of cultivated land occupation and compensation, and the implementation of basic farmland occupation and compensation as the core indicators, as the criteria for determining whether the assessment of cultivated land protection targets is qualified or not. At the same time, the protection of cultivated land will be included in the annual evaluation system of local governments, and an accountability system for illegal land use, an audit system for the protection of cultivated land and basic farmland by government leading cadres, and a compensation mechanism for cultivated land protection will be established, so that local governments and relevant departments can share the responsibility for cultivated land protection.
