Straw burning, banning or burning? You must listen to science.

Straw burning, banning or burning? Listen to science, straw burning is forbidden.

Background of straw burning ban policy

The implementation of straw burning ban policy is to improve air quality, reduce pollutant emissions and improve environmental quality. However, the policy of banning burning also faces some challenges and problems. Because straw burning will pollute the atmospheric environment, affect human health, increase traffic safety risks, destroy soil structure and have fire hazards, it is forbidden to burn.

In addition, China's Air Pollution Prevention Law clearly stipulates the burning of straw, fallen leaves and other substances that produce smoke pollution in the open air, and sets corresponding punishment measures.

However, even with the support of laws, farmers still tend to burn straw. They believe that burning straw can reduce the existence of wild rice, weeds and pests, and the ashes after burning are rich in potassium, which is beneficial to the growth of crops. In addition, because the agricultural tradition in China since ancient times is burning straw, it is difficult for farmers to adapt to the new burning ban policy and find alternative treatment methods.

Advantages and disadvantages of straw burning and no burning

Straw burning helps to eliminate pests in farmland, but it also causes air pollution and environmental damage. Banning burning straw can reduce air pollution and protect the environment, but it also brings some burdens and troubles to farmers. At present, there is no clear conclusion about the advantages and disadvantages of straw burning and incineration, and further investigation and scientific demonstration are needed.

Comprehensive utilization and treatment method of straw

At present, there are many comprehensive utilization ways of straw, which can be used in biofuel, feed, edible fungus cultivation, biogas production and so on. However, these methods all require a certain cost and technology, which is not very practical. After the burning of straw is prohibited, farmers can choose to return the straw to the field or not. However, these methods also have problems such as increased cost, high technical requirements and insufficient equipment.

Trade-off between straw burning ban and local burning

The investigation and demonstration of straw burning ban and burning ban should be based on scientific evidence, taking into account the convenience of agricultural production, environmental protection and operation, and minimizing pollution. Straw burning can eliminate pests in farmland, but at the same time it will increase the emission of air pollutants. Banning burning straw can reduce pollution, but it increases the burden on farmers. Therefore, we should weigh the advantages and disadvantages and formulate corresponding policies and measures according to the actual situation.

Importance of investigation and scientific decision-making

Whether to lift the ban on straw burning needs investigation and scientific decision-making. Scientific research should pay attention to the impact of straw burning on the environment and agriculture, and carry out research in combination with local actual conditions. The results of investigation and study should be reliable and credible, and provide scientific basis for decision-making. Only by achieving good results and social acceptance in practice can we consider whether to lift the ban on straw burning.
