In recent years, with the continuous changes in the rural population of the mainland, everyone's call for the reform of the homestead system is getting higher and higher. In particular, many villagers suggested that the relaxation of the free sale of homestead land could increase the property income of farmers. However, in the process of system reform, our country has never relaxed these restrictions, but has repeatedly emphasized that it is not allowed to buy and sell homesteads, and urban residents are not allowed to go to the countryside to buy homesteads to build houses, and so on.

As we all know, in the past, the management of homesteads in rural areas was very closed, and many farmers could not obtain property income from them, and in recent years, the mainland has also begun to introduce a series of normative measures to deal with the hollowing out and idle waste caused by demographic changes. This year, in terms of the reform of the homestead system, our country has also deployed a series of reform measures, of which there are four changes that are worth knowing about farmers. Let's take a look!

In 2024, these four changes in homesteads are worth understanding and related to farmers' vital interests

Among the reform measures deployed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, it has been said that it will improve the policy of revitalizing and utilizing idle farmhouses and idle homesteads. And how to improve the policy of idle homesteads and farmhouses in the future is also closely related to the vital interests of farmers. On the one hand, it is necessary to establish a revitalization system that has laws to follow and clear ownership, and at the same time, it is also necessary to protect the legitimate rights and interests of farmers' homesteads. These initiatives are critical.

However, it is certain that in terms of the revitalization and utilization of homesteads, the mainland will also support localities with the right conditions to use idle houses and homesteads to develop leisure agriculture, rural tourism and other industries, and at the same time, it will also support the members of village collective organizations to revitalize and utilize idle homestead resources in various ways, such as self-management, leasing, shareholding, and cooperation, and develop new forms of business such as leisure agriculture and animal husbandry, catering and homestays, so as to continuously increase the property income of farmers and herdsmen. If this measure continues to be piloted, farmers in more places will benefit from the reform. This is a good thing to rejoice in.

In rural areas, homestead management is very important, involving the occurrence of some violations and disorders. Although the mainland said that it would introduce interim measures for the management of homesteads. However, judging from the measures issued by various places, many provinces have strengthened measures this year, and have also issued a series of normative documents, on the one hand, it is required to strengthen the approval and management of homesteads, and on the other hand, it is required to rectify the illegal chaos of homesteads.

The purpose of strengthening homestead management is also to ensure the reasonable and legal demand of farmers for new homesteads, and to avoid problems such as multiple houses per household and overoccupation of homesteads. It is believed that in the next policy arrangement, all localities will also strengthen the capacity building of homestead management services according to the deployment of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.

The paid withdrawal of homestead land is a pilot policy, which mainly guides villagers who have settled in the city to voluntarily withdraw from homestead land with compensation in accordance with the law. This is one of the safeguard measures to reduce the waste of homesteads and meet the needs of villagers for building land, and the mainland also attaches great importance to it.

In addition, various localities have also strengthened measures this year in the area of paid use of homestead land, and in order to protect the vital interests of peasants, some localities have also actively explored the system of paid use. To put it simply, for some farmhouses built with over-occupied homesteads, farmers can pay over-occupation fees in stages, and then the over-occupied part can be confirmed and used.

The pilot of the two measures is very beneficial to farmers, especially the current policy of paid use of homesteads, which has largely solved the problem of illegal farmhouses due to over-occupation.

Among the measures deployed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, it is also proposed to build a unified national rural homestead management information platform. If this information platform is to be established, then it is necessary to find out the base number of homesteads, and at the same time, it is also necessary to provide data from all over the country. Therefore, under such a policy arrangement, starting this year, the rural areas will also speed up the work of registering, confirming and issuing certificates for homesteads with integrated housing and land. Unified reporting of data, so that a complete management platform can be established.

Once this platform for homestead management information is established, it also means that the next rural homesteads will be managed in a standardized manner, and the homestead used by villagers will be known at a glance.

Well, the above are the four changes related to the reform of the rural homestead system. What do you think about this? Let's talk about it.
