Ensuring livelihoods
According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the conversion of specialized rice-growing areas should be restricted to ensure the rice land fund and protect farmers' livelihoods and food security in the district, except for areas subject to compulsory conversion of land use purposes.
According to Cam Lam District People's Committee, in the district planning till 2030, wet rice cultivation land is expected to decrease to serve projects on the development of infrastructures, transport, trades and services to meet socio-economic development goals of the district (mostly in Cam Hoa Commune with about 130ha for Vinh Binh - Cu Hin urban area project). In addition, communes have proposed crop diversification and restructuring from rice cultivation land with low efficiency to clean vegetable farms, livestock farms, perennial crops (mango), etc. However, the district's land use planning plan still retains the land fund for rice cultivation, ensuring farmers’ livelihoods and contributing to food security (specialized rice cultivation areas are concentrated in the communes of Cam Phuoc Tay, Cam Hoa, Cam Tan, Cam Thanh Bac, Suoi Cat, Suoi Tan). In the land use planning till 2030, Cam Lam District will establish new residential areas, develop residential centers of commune clusters, etc.
At the meeting, Nguyen Anh Tuan, Vice-Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee asked Cam Lam District People's Committee and consulting firms to consider the departments and agencies’ ideas and suggestions on land use planning; continue updating and supplementing specialized plans and other projects in the area to have proper and synchronous planning with the general development orientation of the province.
The district is required to review results and limitations in the land planning in Cam Lam in the period 2011 - 2020 to have proper planning for the next period in accordance with the actual situation; have appropriate planning on land use purpose conversion from agriculture to non-agriculture, especially together with effective planning of residential land, urban land, service and commercial land, etc. to balance with the aerotropolis quality and scale; ensure livelihoods of those affected by projects in resettlement areas, etc.
