The Environmental Management Administration Ministry of Environment (referred to as the EMA) has conducted soil pollution investigations on farmlands with a high potential for heavy metal pollution nationwide from 2010 to 2017. Subsequently, starting from 2018, it has been promoting soil pollution prevention efforts on agricultural lands. Since 2023, in response to the phased goals of improving polluted farmland soil and irrigation water quality, the EMA has been promoting nationwide agricultural land prevention monitoring. In light of this, the EMA has commissioned the " Farmland Pollution, Pollution Prevention and Management, Pollution Potential Zoning" to establish a long-term and effective agricultural land pollution early warning and prevention program. The work includes screening two demonstration areas for pollution potential zoning verification, revising the zoning mechanism, and prioritizing issues such as: (1) the potential impact of legally established non-low-pollution special factories on surrounding farmland, and (2) proposing suggestions for early warning of agricultural land pollution in areas previously contaminated with cadmium from upstream pollution sources in rice paddies. Additionally, adjustments and expansions of the “National Farmland Soil Management System” functions and data construction have been carried out. Furthermore, agricultural promotion videos have been produced based on the achievements of agricultural land management over the years. In response to this year's agricultural land soil pollution incidents, traceability investigations, and other related work have been conducted.
