2008年10月，中央政府正式批準(zhǔn)農(nóng)村土地承包經(jīng)營權(quán)自由流轉(zhuǎn)。很多專家都對此舉表示歡迎，認(rèn)為這是推動農(nóng)村改革的重要舉措之一。不過，也有專家表示目前的土地流轉(zhuǎn)程序仍然過于復(fù)雜，地方政府希望進(jìn)一步放松土地流轉(zhuǎn)審批程序。在土地流轉(zhuǎn)過程中，還有可能會出現(xiàn)工商資本與農(nóng)民爭地、借土地流轉(zhuǎn)之名變相圈地等損害農(nóng)民利益的現(xiàn)象。因此，該項政策的具體實施問題必然會成為今年兩會熱議的話題。

The central government last October gave farmers the right to transfer their land-use rights at free will for the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.

A recent landmark policy that allows rural land-use right transfers between farmers is expected to stir a heated debate at the National People's Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) meetings this week, experts said yesterday.
The central government last October gave farmers the right to transfer their land-use rights at free will for the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.
While many experts have welcomed the move, which aims to push forward rural development, several others have expressed their concern.
Dang Guoying, a researcher with the Rural Development Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said the process to transfer land was still too complicated, and local government officials were hoping for a "more relaxed procedure for approval".
Dang said the issue is bound to attract a heated debate at the 2nd Session of the 11th NPC - China's top legislature - which kicks off on Thursday, and the 2nd Session of the 11th National Committee of the CPPCC, the country's top advisory body, which starts today.
"Migrant workers have left behind a lot of farmland, which is rarely cultivated as each rural resident owns, on an average, only 1.38 mu (0.09 hectares) of arable land," said Cheng Shulan, a professor with the Renmin University of China. "The space is neither efficient nor profitable."
The recent drought that has hit large parts of north China followed by heavy snowfall has hurt the harvest, forcing many more farmers to leave behind their land and move to cities in search of a livelihood, media reports said.
Even though the October policy may prove to be a solid tool for encouraging farmers to work their farms, a number of real estate developers and some local officials continue to try and secure arable land for industrial projects, Cheng said.
"It defeats the entire purpose of encouraging migrant workers to transfer their land and work it," he said.
"Joint development of rural arable land should be facilitated on a careful, pro-poor, farmer-first basis," he added.
Farmland in the country is collectively owned and leased to farmers under long-term contracts.
