Why do you want to return farmland to forests?

The natural environment in western China is congenitally deficient and the ecology is fragile. After man-made destruction, it is difficult to restore the original vegetation, resulting in serious soil erosion and desertification. At present, the area of soil erosion and desertification is expanding, which not only seriously restricts the development of local economy and the improvement of people's living standards, but also endangers the environmental construction of the country. ?

To this end, the state has decided to return farmland to grassland and forest in areas unsuitable for agricultural development, such as the loess plateau and sloping farmland with a slope of more than 25 degrees in western mountainous areas.
