Capital farmland was being settled on a video conference co-hosted by the Ministry of Land and Resources and Ministry of Agriculture on January 5. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen and other 10 cities will be the first batch to identify capital farmland. The strict designation and special protection will help to stable and enhance the production capacity of crops, strengthen the boundary constraint of cities, promote the healthy development of new urbanization and force the economic and intensive land use to ease the environmental pressure.
