Anhui takes lead in efficient land use

Province piloting system to ensure most is made of resources, arable areas protected

Editor's note: June 25 marked the 34th National Land Day of China. The theme for this year called for using land resources intensively and efficiently, and protecting arable land. Anhui province, the only provincial-level area designated to pilot new models for more efficient land management, is making headway in this regard.

As the only provincial-level area piloting new models for the more efficient management of land, East China's Anhui has been able to attract a growing number of enterprises to set up their latest projects, according to local officials and businesspeople.

There are several ways of measuring the efficiency of land management, such as by ensuring a project uses the minimum amount of land possible so that the remaining land can be used for other purposes, or reusing or repurposing existing sites instead of building on new land.
