What does the balance of cultivated land occupation and compensation mean?

The balance of cultivated land occupation and compensation refers to the compensation system of cultivated land occupation implemented by the state as stipulated in the Land Management Law of the People's Republic of China. The cultivated land occupied by non-agricultural construction shall be supplemented according to the principle of "how much is occupied and how much is supplemented". This system is an important measure to stick to the red line of 65.438+0.8 billion mu of cultivated land. Land consolidation is the main channel to supplement cultivated land. The implementation of the balance system of cultivated land occupation and compensation is mainly through the implementation of land remediation projects, adjusting measures to local conditions, stripping the arable layer, improving the soil, and comprehensively managing fields, water, roads, forests and villages, so that the newly added compensation can match the quantity and quality of cultivated land occupied. The balance of cultivated land occupation and compensation is strictly in accordance with the requirements of quantity and quality. If the quality of cultivated land can not be achieved due to natural conditions, the quantity and quality should be converted according to the grade, and the comprehensive balance of cultivated land occupation and compensation can be achieved by increasing a certain area.
