Evolution of the national cultivated land strategic reserve system under the background of storing grain in the land

Abstract

Discussing the current situation and direction of China' s strategy of storing grain in the land is helpful for exploring the implementation path of the grain storage strategy (GSS) with Chinese characteristics in response to the new global challenges. Based on a literature review and theoretical analysis, this study examined and summarized the relevant GSS policies and research with respect to the practical problems, solutions, and implementation measures. The results show that GSS research has gradually shifted from the supply and demand focus to examining comprehensive production capacity under complex situations. However, there exist problems such as difficulties in achieving comprehensive goals, unbalanced policy content matching, and lack of supervision in the implementation process. The GSS connotation expansion with a resilience perspective provides a reference for policy integration and strategy implementation the optimization and improvement of food system' s adaptability and resistence to disruptions can be realized through tapping into cultivated land resource production potential. In conclusion, under the constraints of China' s food security goals in the new era, it is urgent to build a national cultivated land strategic reserve system oriented to global change and based on agricultural production potential assessment. Furthermore, clarifying the strategic reserve space will help enrich and improve related policies such as cross-regional cultivated land occupation-compensation balance, permanent basic farmland protection, and high-standard farmland construction, in order to serve GSS implementation and practice.

Agricultural Land Suitability Assessment Based on GIS at the County Scale in Yibin, China

“…Addressing the challenge of producing high yield and superior quality food is a pressing issue that requires immediate attention [2]. The attainment of sustainable utilization of agricultural resources, with a particular emphasis on agricultural land resources, has emerged as a pivotal factor in addressing food security challenges across nations [3]. In this context, the juxtaposition of population and resources in developing nations exacerbates their pressure.…”

Analysis of Impact of Well-Facilitated Farmland Construction—Engineering Measures on Farmland Quality

“…With the continuous growth of China's population, the tightening of resources and environmental carrying capacity, and the continuous upgrading of consumption structures [1], coupled with the superimposed influence of unexpected events such as the new coronavirus pneumonia spreading worldwide, rising energy prices have spurred increasing demand for biofuels and extreme disasters, the volatile international grain trade market is a serious threat to the stable supply of the global food system [2]. China has issued multiple principal documents emphasizing the need to speed up agricultural modernization and enhance the ability to guarantee the supply of food and key agricultural products [3].…”
