Innovations in Agricultural Land System Oriented to the High-standard Farmland Construction:Smallholder Perspectives
Within the framework of the strategy for a robust agricultural nation,high-standard farmland construction initiatives are instrumental in underpinning the modernization of agriculture and rural spaces.However,the innovation of the agricultural land system has not received adequate attention compared to the focus on project management issues.Scholarly inquiries into the farmland system have predominantly centered on the interplay between securing land contracting rights and the transfer of land management rights,with insufficient exploration of the relationship between high-standard farmland construction projects and the reform of the farmland system.In the extensive rural regions of central and western China,small-scale farmers remain the predominant entities in agricultural enterprise,and their integration into the sphere of modern agricultural development necessitates the support of high-standard farmland construction projects.Adopting the perspective of small farmers,the innovation of an agricultural land system geared towards high-standard farmland construction must address two pivotal issues:Firstly,the challenge of land parcel amalgamation to circumvent the inconvenience of farmland cultivation exacerbated by project construction that is engineering-centric.Secondly,the issue of land allocation to prevent the systemic marginalization of small farmers in projects that favor larger agricultural operations.Grounded in field research,the proposed strategy to resolve the dilemmas inherent in the dual aspects of the farmland system involves the consolidation of land parcels by village collectives while preserving the unchanged contractual rights of the land.This approach facilitates contiguous operation by individual households,thereby not only maximizing the economic impact of high-standard farmland construction to catalyze agricultural development but also contributing to the stability and resilience of rural society.
