In rural areas, this year's good things are one after another; in the aspect of household registration reform, this year our country will also introduce relevant policies to allow willing peasant workers to settle down in cities and towns; in terms of old-age care, this year's basic pension will be increased by 20 yuan per month. In terms of rural construction, this year it is necessary to speed up the completion of shortcomings and start a series of projects related to roads, water, electricity and information to benefit the people.
However, just after these policy deployments, this year, many departments have also implemented some action plans related to rural areas around the spirit of Document No. 1, among which there are two major actions worth understanding for farmers, what is going on?
In the past few years, the mainland has also implemented a series of measures related to grain production capacity in the agricultural field, not only carrying out large-scale renovation of cultivated land, but also increasing the mainland's cultivated land area to more than 2 billion mu through reclamation and cultivation. At the same time, on the basis of the existing ones, some permanent basic farmland will be transformed into high-quality, high-productivity high-standard farmland.
Today, the mainland has officially compiled an action plan related to grain production capacity, and the specific production increase target has also been clarified in the document "A New Round of Action Plan for Improving Grain Production Capacity of 100 Billion catties".
It is understood that starting this year, the mainland will also focus on 720 key counties to improve grain production capacity to start a new round of grain production capacity improvement action, and this action will also focus on key areas and weak links to carry out work, but also to speed up the construction of agricultural water-saving water supply, high-standard farmland construction, seed industry revitalization and other nine supporting major projects, and effectively improve the comprehensive production capacity of grain.
The ultimate goal is to achieve more than 100 billion catties of new grain production capacity by 2030, and in addition, on the basis of strict protection of cultivated land, the grain sowing area of the mainland will be stabilized at about 1.75 billion mu at this time stage.
In rural areas, the village cleaning action is an important measure of the implementation plan for the improvement of the rural living environment, and in the first document issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs this year, it is also proposed to take measures to improve the overall appearance of the rural village, and also let the localities establish and improve the normalized cleaning system to promote the village cleaning action in an orderly manner.
Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the "Notice on Commending the Advanced Counties of the National Village Cleaning Action in 2023". A series of measures have also been deployed in the notice, and the next step will also guide all localities to learn and apply the experience and practices of the "Ten Million Project", focus on the theme of "Clean Villages, Clean and Beautiful Homes", and mobilize farmers to carry out the village cleaning action in 2024 in an orderly manner.
It is worth noting that this year's village clean-up operation will also revolve around four standouts. The first is to highlight thrift, thrift, convenience and use, the second is to stimulate the endogenous motivation of farmers, the third is to highlight and improve the long-term mechanism of normalcy, and the fourth is to highlight the ecological linkage of production and life.
The next village cleaning action will also improve and improve the daily cleaning norms and the "three guarantees in front of the door" system in rural areas. The implementation of these systems has also played a positive role in consolidating the results of village cleaning.
It can be seen that these two major actions, one is related to the improvement of grain production capacity, and the other is related to the improvement of the appearance of the village. After the implementation of the grain production capacity improvement action, all regions will also increase the construction of high-standard farmland this year, and will continue to deepen the farmland protection action to further rectify the destruction of farmland and the indiscriminate occupation of farmland. Everyone must pay attention to the process of using cultivated land. Don't break the rules, or you'll be penalized.
Okay, so these are the two major actions that I will share with you, what do you think about this? Has your village started? Let's talk about it.
