The Significance of Stick to The Cultivated Land Red Line and Analysis of Existing Problems

Rural land system about the rural basic stability which concerns the long-term development of China, its core is to protect the property rights and interests of farmers; the bottom line is that adherence to 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land red line.

--From 2013, the government work report, premier Wen Jiabao

Since March 2007 when in the government work report, premier Wen Jiabao proposed "must hold not less than 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land- the red line- throughout the country ", the "1.8 billion mu of arable land red line" often enter our vision in two sessions this year the government work report, premier Wen Jiabao also mentioned "1.8 billion mu of arable land, bottom line, then, set the 1.8 billion mu of arable land red line ". Whereas, what is the meaning of that?

Stick to 1.8 billion mu of arable land, therefore, "red line", hold on to 1.3 billion people "jobs" are particularly important.

Obviously, 1.8 billion mu of the data set is not very well understood. "1.8 billion mu", in fact, this data is based on per capita grain use standard, its self-sufficiency rate of grain, grain yield, multiple crop index, grain demand forecasts, and cultivated land demand prediction, etc., and is made after comprehensive and mature consideration.

There is a rough estimate: currently, 1.3 billion people, plus
