Per capita arable land in China

According to the Chinese government website, the per capita cultivated land in China refers to the total cultivated land area in China divided by the total population in China, which reflects the situation of cultivated land resources and food security level in China. The data of cultivated land per capita in China may be different in different years and from different sources, but generally it shows a downward trend year by year, far below the world average. According to the latest main data of the third national land survey, by the end of 20 19, China's cultivated land area was19180,000 mu, and the per capita cultivated land area was 1.36 mu. Compared with the second national land survey in 2009, the cultivated land area decreased by1.1.300 million mu, and the per capita cultivated land area decreased by 0.23 mu. From a global perspective, the per capita arable land area in China is less than half of that in the world, and the regional distribution is very uneven. There are 12 provinces with per capita arable land exceeding 0. 13 hectares (2 mu), which are mainly distributed in areas with poor natural conditions and low grain output such as northeast, northwest and southwest. The decrease of cultivated land per capita in China is mainly due to the influence of non-agricultural construction, agricultural structure adjustment and land greening. In order to ensure the national food security, China adheres to the strictest farmland protection system and keeps the red line of 65.438+0.8 billion mu of farmland. The Outline of National Land Planning (20 16-2030) issued by the State Council in October/July has set the cultivated land targets for 2020 and 2030, which are18.65 million mu and18.25 million mu respectively. According to the data of the "Third Regulation", the types of cultivated land in China have decreased by1.10.3 billion mu since the "Second Regulation". The main reasons for the decrease of cultivated land types are the adjustment of agricultural structure and the greening of the country. To sum up, the per capita arable land in China is an important indicator, which reflects the national conditions, national strength and development level of China. The per capita cultivated land area in China is low, but through the implementation of the strictest cultivated land protection system, the target of cultivated land quantity determined by the national plan has been achieved.
