How to make minor adjustments:The pilot practice of rural land extension when the second round of contracting expires
With the expiration of the second round of land contracting,the implementation of the"deferral+minor adjustment"policy has become particularly important.Based on historical,institutional,and practical backgrounds,this study analyzes the relationship between minor adjustments and stability.It selects four pilot counties(districts),XF,YL,QS,and PY,where the second round of land contract extensions has been carried out,and conducts practical analyses to explore strategies for minor adjustments.The study found that:1)Minor adjustments involve three core issues:defining the adjustment object,selecting the adjustment method,and determining the adjustment standard.2)The pilot areas have adopted the"uncontracted land"adjustment model,the"profit but not land"profit-sharing model,the"mixed adjustment"model,and the"land withdrawal and land adjustment"model.The scale of minor adjustments by household proportion is 6.67%,2.15%,2.27%,and 0.86%,respectively,and by area proportion is 3.24%,0.59%,0.14%,and 0.31%,respectively.3)The selection of minor adjustment strategies is influenced by the status of uncontracted land in village collectives,the level of the village collective economy,the basis of land rights confirmation,and the demands of farmers.Therefore,localities should pay attention to minor adjustments,consider village characteristics,flexible use of various forms of property rights,design appropriate minor adjustment programs,and establish a long-term management mechanism to ensure the stable implementation of the contract extension.
