This National Black Soil Protection Project Implementation Plan （2021—2025） specifies the principles, objectives, and content of black soil protection. The Implementation Plan proposes to complete the task of protecting 100 million mu of black land by 2025, constructing 50 million acres of high standard farmland and treating 7000 large and medium-sized erosion ditches, implement multiple modes of arable land conservation for 500 million mu, returning organic fertilizer to 100 million mu of farmland. After the implementation of the plan, the quality of cultivated land will be significantly improved, and the average organic matter content of soil will increase by more than 10%. The Implementation Plan specifies the implementation content of the national black land protection project. In terms of content, emphasis is placed on implementing measures such as soil erosion control, farmland infrastructure construction, cultivation of fertile tillage layers, and monitoring and evaluation of farmland quality.
