Just recently, relevant departments jointly issued the Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Integration of Large Ex situ Poverty Alleviation Relocation and Resettlement Areas into New Urbanization to Achieve High-quality Development.

Multi-departments jointly issued a document, which shows the importance of this matter and will trigger a new round of "relocation boom". I believe everyone is also very concerned about relevant policies. Are you ready for the new policy of encouraging farmers to enter the city? Let's take a look at the contents of the Opinions. Is it a good thing for farmers to go to town? What effect will it have?

Is it a good thing for farmers to go to town?

Between rural and urban areas, the level of urban areas is far higher than that of rural areas, whether it is medical conditions, educational resources, traffic conditions and living conditions.

In addition, various resources in cities and towns are more advantageous and meet the needs of social development.

From these perspectives, it is a good thing for farmers to enter the city.

But at the same time, some farmers have been living on land, fearing that they will lose their land after entering the city and have no source of income, so they are unwilling to enter the city.

The "Opinions" put forward that in the process of accelerating farmers' entering cities, it is necessary to promote the orderly settlement of the population in cities and towns, enhance farmers' ability to settle in cities and towns, and provide good working conditions.

At the same time, the state will introduce a series of policies and preferential schemes to encourage farmers to settle in cities, and at the same time, more follow their personal wishes.

To achieve * * * prosperity, farmers entering the city is the only way.

To realize modernization, we must unswervingly take the road of urbanization, which is an important way and the only way for all citizens to achieve prosperity.

Guiding rural population to move to cities and towns can transfer agricultural productivity to industrialization and other high-yield industries, liberate grass-roots productivity, actively promote economic development, and let more people enjoy the benefits and welfare brought by urbanization.

Of course, in order to speed up the urbanization process of the relocated population, three major problems must be solved. Let's have a look!

1. Farmers have entered the city. What about land and homestead?

Some people will worry that what will happen to rural homesteads when farmers enter the city? On this issue, it is clearly stated in the opinion that for farmers who settle in cities, their rural land contracting rights and homestead use rights should be guaranteed according to law, and farmers' voluntary circulation should be supported.

There are fewer people farming in rural areas. Is there enough food?

According to the population data of the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2022, the urban population increased by 6.46 million, reaching 9207 1 10,000, while the rural population decreased by 73 1 10,004.

As can be seen from the data, the rural population is indeed decreasing and shifting to cities and towns. At present, the policy also encourages rural population to go to cities, which accelerates the reduction of rural population.

Then the problem will follow. Everyone is in town. Who will cultivate this land? Can the grain output be guaranteed?

In fact, it is reasonable for everyone to have such concerns. However, according to statistics, in 2022, the total grain output will increase by 3.68 million tons compared with 202 1, and the rural population will decrease while the grain output will increase. I think everyone has an answer to this increase or decrease.

With the development of agricultural science and technology, agricultural production is developing towards scale and mechanization. Although there are more people growing grain, the grain output has increased! Mainly mechanized operations, so that even if farmers enter the city, it will not affect food production too much.

On the contrary, the land left behind was planted on a large scale, ensuring the food security of the broad masses of the people.

3. What does the agricultural population rely on to settle in cities?

Perhaps the biggest problem for farmers to enter the city is "how to live after entering the city?" .

In the past, farmers didn't want to go to cities. In fact, this is not because they earn much by farming in rural areas. On the contrary, farmers earn very little from farming, especially in the harsh terrain where remote land is not fertile, and it is more difficult to earn money from farming.

The more reason is that most farmers lack a skill to adapt to modern society except farming.

This opinion puts forward many solutions to the employment security problem.

For example, the construction of resettlement areas and industrial parks, factories and odd jobs markets will provide more employment opportunities for the relocated people.

Or provide convenient places, increase the scale of the night market, and encourage the population entering the city to give full play to their own advantages and become their own bosses to do small business.

At the same time, the government is also stepping up efforts to help migrant workers learn skills, master skills and improve their employability.

To sum up, national policies to encourage farmers to enter cities can not only improve farmers' income and quality of life.

On the other hand, it can further narrow the gap between the rich and the poor and promote economic development, which is generally a good thing.

What do you think of this matter?
