Can straw be burned in 2023?

Straw burning will be completely banned nationwide from 2023.

Straw burning, a common practice in traditional agricultural production methods, has become one of the main causes of environmental problems as urbanization accelerates. Today, as the gap between urban and rural areas is gradually narrowing, people are increasingly concerned about environmental quality. The large amount of harmful substances such as soot, sulfur dioxide and respirable particulate matter produced by straw burning not only pollutes the air, but also poses a serious threat to the ecological environment.

Therefore, the central government has decided to introduce new regulations to completely ban straw burning and encourage farmers to find alternative ways to dispose of straw in order to reduce air pollution in rural areas and protect the earth's environment, on which mankind depends for its survival.

2, composting: composting straw with other organic wastes, through decomposition, the straw will be transformed into organic fertilizers, which will be used to fertilize the farmland.

3, biomass energy utilization: the straw will be biomass energy conversion, such as through biomass power generation, biomass fuels, etc., the straw into renewable energy.

4. Straw return to the field: return straw to the field, use it as mulch or mix it into the soil to increase the soil organic matter content, improve the soil structure, and improve the yield and quality of farmland.
