Can the barren hills in the village be reclaimed?

Dear, I am honored to answer your question~ The information the teacher has found for you is: Can barren mountains be opened up for farming at will? Barren mountains cannot be opened up for farming at will, no. As the saying goes, barren mountains also have owners. Land reclamation means destroying the original vegetation. 1. Before reclaiming wasteland, it is necessary to clarify the ownership of the wasteland: if it is state-owned barren mountains, wasteland, and wasteland, it can be reclaimed and used for agriculture, but it cannot be used for building houses; if it is owned by the village collective Wasteland can only be reclaimed and used after consultation with the village collective. For the "four wastelands" (referring to barren hills, barren ditches, barren hills and barren beaches), the state encourages the development of wasteland. If no one is involved in the development of the village collective, it can also be contracted to people outside the collective. 2. Legal basis: Article 40 of the Land Management Law: Reclaiming unused land must go through scientific demonstration and evaluation, and be carried out within the reclamable areas delineated in the overall land use plan, and after approval in accordance with the law. It is prohibited to destroy forests and grasslands to cultivate cultivated land, to reclaim lakes for farmland, and to encroach on river floodplains. Article 41 Those who develop state-owned barren mountains, wasteland, and wasteland with undetermined use rights for planting, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery production may be assigned to development units or individuals for long-term use with the approval of the people's government at or above the county level in accordance with the law.
