6月25日，是第31个全国土地日。24日，记者从省自然资源厅举行的土地日宣传活动上获悉，我省目前实有耕地面积居全国第三位，连续22年实现耕地占补平衡。
For many years, Henan has spared no efforts to develop key grain-producing areas, upgrade medium-and low-yield fields and construct contiguous high-standard farmlands (standing at the forefront in China). So far, Henan has totally created 69.10 million mu (1 mu equals to 0.06 hectares) of high-standard farmlands, accounting for 56.23 percent of the provincial total cultivated fields, laying a solid foundation for ensuring the nation's food security.
