Prohibition of livestock and poultry breeding refers to prohibiting any unit or individual from breeding livestock and poultry within the prescribed scope in accordance with laws, regulations and administrative rules; Livestock and poultry farms that have been built in the forbidden areas shall be ordered by the people's government at the county level to relocate or close within a time limit.
No-farming areas are farms above designated size or farms with pollutant discharge prohibited by law, not all farming activities. Standardizing the demarcation and management of no-breeding areas and putting an end to the simple practice of replacing pollution prevention and control of livestock and poultry breeding with cleaning are the requirements for realizing the harmonious and unified development of livestock and poultry breeding and environmental protection. Recently, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs jointly issued a notice to further standardize the delineation and management of livestock and poultry breeding areas and promote the development of pig production. Resolutely and quickly cancel the no-raising beyond the provisions of laws and regulations and the no-raising areas beyond the scope. This is a powerful medicine to develop the illegal operation of livestock and poultry breeding industry, including pigs, under the banner of environmental protection. According to the Animal Husbandry Law and the Regulations on Prevention and Control of Pollution in Livestock and Poultry Breeding, it is forbidden to build farms with a scale higher than that determined by the provincial government in drinking water source protection areas, core areas and buffer areas of nature reserves, scenic spots, urban residential areas, cultural and educational research areas and other prohibited areas stipulated by laws and regulations. The primary purpose of designating no-farming areas is to prevent environmental risks, such as drinking water source protection areas. Once pollutants leak from large-scale farms, it will lead to serious pollution consequences and huge losses. At the same time, large-scale farms produce a lot of manure and urine, and the malodorous gas discharged will affect the production and living environment. Therefore, it is forbidden to build farms above designated size in densely populated areas such as urban residential areas. In addition, in order to prevent damage to the landscape, environment and ecosystem of scenic spots, it is forbidden to build large-scale farms in the core areas and buffer zones of nature reserves and scenic spots. It should be noted that farms above designated size or farms with pollutant discharge are prohibited in prohibited farming areas according to law, and not all farming behaviors are prohibited. In addition, the delineation of prohibited aquaculture areas must be strictly limited within the scope stipulated by laws and regulations (including normative documents issued by local people's congresses with legislative power), and it is not allowed to expand at will, not to mention using the designated prohibited aquaculture areas to clean up aquaculture on the grounds of improving the environment, so as to clean up instead of governance. However, in some places, due to the ignorance of relevant laws, regulations and policies and the lack of feasible environmental control methods, it is considered that aquaculture is equal to pollution, and aquaculture must be cleaned up to eradicate aquaculture pollution. Under the banner of environmental protection, it is not uncommon to squeeze and restrict the development of livestock and poultry breeding, including pigs, by delineating prohibited areas. For example, in some places, 200 meters and 500 meters around all rivers, lakes and reservoirs are designated as prohibited areas, some areas along railways and highways are designated as prohibited areas, and natural villages are designated as prohibited areas. Some counties and districts have also created "pig-free counties", which makes farmers misunderstand the environmental protection policy and think that environmental protection means prohibiting pig raising. It is even more common to say that "environmental protection is prohibited" and "environmental protection is eliminated" Therefore, at present, it is necessary to further clarify the concept, demarcation standards and management requirements of no-support areas, further standardize the delineation and management of no-support areas, and guide and promote local governments to resolutely and quickly abolish the no-support provisions beyond the scope stipulated by laws and regulations. Standardizing the demarcation and management of no-breeding areas and putting an end to the simple practice of replacing pollution prevention and control of livestock and poultry breeding with cleaning are the requirements for realizing the harmonious and unified development of livestock and poultry breeding and environmental protection. It should be noted that the amount of livestock manure produced in China is large, and the scale of livestock breeding is not high. Taking pig breeding as an example, by the end of 20 18, the scale rate was only 49. 1%. The production capacity of farmers below the scale accounts for more than half of the total production capacity, and the number of households accounts for the vast majority, covering a wide range. Recently, with the introduction of a series of measures to stabilize pig production and promote transformation and upgrading, it is timely for pigs to resume production. Among them, the proportion of farmers below scale is not low. Popularizing low-cost, high-speed and easy-to-operate pollution control mode, strengthening the treatment of livestock manure and improving the level of manure resource utilization are the real directions that need to be worked hard.
Legal basis:
According to Article 6 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Animal Epidemic Prevention, the people's governments at or above the county level should strengthen the unified leadership of animal epidemic prevention, strengthen the construction of grass-roots animal epidemic prevention teams, establish and improve the animal epidemic prevention system, and formulate and organize the implementation of animal epidemic prevention plans. Township people's governments and urban street offices shall organize the masses to assist in the prevention and control of animal diseases within their respective jurisdictions.
The basic requirements of the Technical Guide for Delineation of Prohibited Areas for Livestock and Poultry Breeding are to optimize the layout of livestock and poultry breeding, control agricultural non-point source pollution, and ensure the safety of ecological environment. The basic principles are overall consideration, scientific feasibility, compliance with laws and regulations, and people-oriented. According to the National Main Function Zoning and the National Ecological Function Zoning (Revised Edition), comprehensively considering the main function orientation and ecological function importance of each region, on the premise of coordinating with the red line pattern of ecological protection, drinking water source protection areas, nature reserve core areas and buffer areas, scenic spots, urban residential areas, cultural, educational and scientific research areas, and taking into account Heyuan, important rivers, important lakes and reservoirs and other areas that have great influence on the water environment,
