Heilongjiang Black Soil Protection and Utilization Regulation.

The Heilongjiang Black Soil Protection and Utilization Regulation aims to safeguard and sustainably use black soil resources, prevent degradation, and maintain ecological balance to ensure national food and ecological security. It establishes principles of integrated planning, conservation, and restoration, supported by mechanisms involving government leadership, departmental coordination, and public participation. Responsibilities are assigned to various levels of government for planning, monitoring, and enforcement, while promoting scientific farming practices, technological innovation, and public awareness.
The Regulation mandates strict land-use controls, prohibits illegal excavation, sale, and transport of black soil, and enforces measures such as soil conservation, organic fertilization, and pollution prevention. It introduces systems for monitoring soil quality, erosion control, and ecological restoration, alongside penalties for violations, including fines and administrative sanctions. Additionally, it encourages high-standard farmland construction, talent development, and cooperation with grain-producing regions, ensuring black soil remains a vital resource for sustainable agriculture.
