Can farmland change the nature of farmland?

The land contracted by farmers shall not change the nature of land use without legal approval, and shall not be used for non-agricultural construction.

The government has strict restrictions on the nature of land that can be changed according to law. With the approval of the relevant departments, the nature of the land can be changed to industrial land. However, changing the nature of the land requires the consent of the original landowner, and others may not change it without authorization.

The nature of land is divided into three categories: agricultural land, construction land and unused land. These include:

1, agricultural land refers to the land directly used for agricultural production, including cultivated land, woodland, grassland, farmland water conservancy land, aquaculture water surface, etc.

2. Construction land refers to the land for building buildings and structures, including urban and rural residential and public facilities, industrial and mining land, transportation and water conservancy facilities, tourism land and military facilities;

3. Unused land refers to land other than agricultural land and construction land, such as barren hills, gullies, hills and beaches.
