Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the ongoing issue of using permanent basic farmland for planting decorative grass, which violates regulations aimed at protecting arable land and has been repeatedly reported and addressed by authorities [1][2]. Group 1: Regulatory Context - The Ministry of Natural Resources and the National Forestry and Grassland Administration reported 18 typical cases of farmland destruction in 2025, with two cases involving the use of permanent basic farmland for grass planting [1]. - In 2024, 80 similar cases were reported, with 10 involving the use of permanent basic farmland for grass planting, indicating a persistent issue despite previous warnings [1]. - The 2020 notice from the State Council explicitly prohibits the use of permanent basic farmland for planting decorative plants, yet violations continue to occur [1]. Group 2: Economic Implications - The grass market is economically attractive, with a rotation area of 17,000 hectares in 2024, and maintenance costs nearing 10 billion yuan annually [2]. - Grass planting is more profitable than food crops, leading to repeated violations of regulations regarding the use of farmland [2]. - The soil quality and fertility of land used for grass planting deteriorate, requiring significant time for recovery before it can be used for food production again [2]. Group 3: Ecological Considerations - Natural grasslands have ecological advantages over artificial lawns, as they require less input and support biodiversity [2][3]. - Research indicates that urban natural grasslands contain a rich variety of native plant species, which can enhance urban green spaces if allowed to thrive [3]. - The integration of self-seeding plants into urban landscaping has shown positive results, contributing to unique and diverse landscapes [3][4]. Group 4: Recommendations - It is suggested that local authorities retain natural grasslands to replace unnecessary artificial lawns, thereby reducing the demand for grass production and addressing the conflict between green space and agricultural land [4].
