Recently, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "Agricultural and Rural Pollution Control Action Plan" to further instruct the rural ecological environment pollution problem in China. China Environmental Protection Online believes that in the face of the current basic situation of rural pollution control, while the policy and regulation system is perfect, it should also be simultaneously upgraded in various aspects such as business model and governance technology.
On July 23, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment convened an executive meeting of the Ministry of Commerce to review and pass the "Agricultural and Rural Pollution Control Action Plan". As soon as the news came out, many industry experts said that the introduction of the action plan would indicate a practical development direction for rural pollution control.
As a "rice bag" and a "vegetable basket" that are closely related to the people in China, agriculture and rural areas have undergone earth-shaking changes in recent years. However, with the improvement of rural economic conditions and living standards, there have been some discord phenomena - environmental pollution. According to some experts who have been deeply involved in rural inspections, the problem of rural pollution in China has reached a critical point that has to be cured.
According to China Environmental Protection Online, the problems caused by pollution of rural rivers and drinking water sources, littering of garbage, and the abuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have caused the countryside to encounter increasing environmental and environmental pressures. At the same time, the rural environmental protection legal system is imperfect, lack of environmental protection facilities, low investment, and low awareness of environmental protection among the people, which greatly hinders the governance of rural pollution.
"At present, there are few standards and technical models for rural pollution control, and there are insufficient constraints and guidance on market entities. It is urgent to explore agricultural and rural pollution control technologies and new models suitable for local conditions." Researcher, Institute of Resources and Environmental Policy, Development Research Center of the State Council Cheng Huiqiang said.
The Ministry of Ecology and Environment's urgent action plan is an inevitable requirement for the fight against agricultural pollution as one of the seven major battles. It is also a key step in filling the shortcomings of rural governance and building beautiful villages. It is to promote the happiness of farmers and promote the construction of ecological names. The overall pace is of great significance.
It is reported that this action plan focuses on the treatment of pollution problems, resource recycling, and agricultural production cleanliness. Specifically, the implementation of the "one insurance, two governance, three reduction, four promotion" strategy: one to protect drinking water sources, two sewage and garbage, three reductions in pesticides, costs, total water use, four to improve water quality, waste utilization and Rural residents’ participation.
Some experts pointed out that the policy shortcomings have been basically filled, but at present, the technical level of rural pollution control in China is not high, and the relevant standards are lacking, and there is no rigid constraint and guidance on market entities, and further deep exploration is started, created in agriculture. The technology and business model that match the basic situation of the rural environment.
China's environmental protection online analysis believes that to promote rural pollution control and achieve beautiful rural construction, we need to start from the following three major points:
First, institutional design. It is strictly forbidden to “one size fits all” in rural pollution control. Instead, it is necessary to carry out relevant system construction, help the rural areas to survive the transitional stage of transformation and upgrading, and rationally construct a new normal of agriculture and rural areas.
Second, use the market. Actively promote the marketization process of rural pollution control, and create a good environment from the market environment, attracting social capital and enterprises to achieve scale, intensification and diversification.
Third, clear responsibility. Defining the responsibilities of polluters, polluters and the main body of each link to ensure that they can accurately pursue responsibility and truly realize "who pollutes and who governs". Of course, while clarifying responsibilities, we should also strengthen the ecological environment propaganda in rural areas and raise farmers' awareness of environmental protection, thus promoting the real implementation of relevant national policies.
