| Abstract: |
| Although laws, regulations, policies, plans and standards concerning the environmental safety of forming lands have been developed and adopted in related areas in China, they are not as perfect as we expected, and couldn′t be operated effectively. This is one of the most important reasons causing quality and safety problems for agricultural products, and need to be settled. In this paper, the authors summarized the history, development and current status of legislations and policies for environmental safety of farming lands in China. With the review of domestic experiences and learning from international experiences, the authors put forward legislation and policy recommendations. The authors suggested that, a systematic and complete legislation and policy system for environmental safety of farming land should be created. In this system, a few key issues should be paid great attention, including prevention of soil pollution, remediation of contaminated soil, as well as establishing early warning and emergency response system for farming land and agricultural products. The subjects of responsibilities for environmental safety of farming lands should be clarified, including government agencies, enterprises and individuals, which could help implement the laws and policies more effectively. The environmental monitoring ability and related information collection and dissemination abilities should also be strengthened. |
