Urbanization in less developed areas threatens cultivated land protection, worsening food security.
Urbanization in less developed areas like Jishou City is causing a decrease in cultivated land, leading to serious issues in land protection. The quality and quantity of cultivated land are decreasing, causing a supply-demand imbalance and inefficient land use. To address this, scientific land planning, land consolidation, and improved land utilization are needed. Industrial agglomeration and better ecological protection are also crucial in managing land resources effectively in less developed regions.
