OA show ('918 '); not long ago, a Canadian professor Xu Dianqing said that China's grassland area is extremely limited The available data show that the carrying capacity of cattle and sheep per unit grassland area in some areas has exceeded the international standard by three times So many cattle and sheep eat at the sight of grass, even the grass roots have been eaten up, leading to serious desertification This problem is a dilemma: if farmers are not allowed to raise cattle and sheep, what do they eat? What about herdsmen? If you let him raise sheep, because the grassland property rights are not clearly defined, the sheep can go everywhere, and the farmers and herdsmen will maximize their own interests within their own limited scope, and raise as much as they can Especially now, cattle and sheep are the private property of the herdsman They will expand their stocking as much as possible Therefore, the domestic supply of beef and mutton has been very rich, and there is a trend of continued growth However, China's current conditions are not suitable for such a practice, which is a matter of no offspring How to guide and protect the environment? According to the Chinese economist, the first measure is to levy a consumption tax on beef and mutton 25% of the money collected from the consumption of beef and mutton will be used to help farmers and herdsmen return farmland to forest and grassland The Levy of cattle and mutton consumption tax can significantly reduce the consumption of cattle and mutton in China, and solve the financial resources needed by the government to help farmers and herdsmen turn to other industries Xu Dianqing also said that there are a lot of beef and mutton in the United States and Australia, which are cheap Let's buy it open up This open market has nothing to do with national security Grassland is an absolutely rich resource in Australia and Canada We should invite them to raise cattle and sheep, and work internationally They have so many grasslands Why should we make our grasslands disappear forever and become deserts? How can national security be affected? China's pig raising is the number one in the world It's not necessary to eat beef and mutton since the war Just eat pork The license is issued to Hui people and Islamists When they buy beef and mutton, they can be exempt from tax, and the rest of their consumption will be taxed This will soon raise money to protect our grassland China feed industry information network NLU (author:)
