   Arable land is the basis of grain production. Realizing the whole area, overall and comprehensive improvement of arable land can help promote the construction of high-standard farmland and effectively contribute to the implementation of rural revitalization strategy, and at the same time, the construction of high-standard farmland can play a driving role in China's economic development to a considerable extent. This research activity is of great significance to the study of protecting food and promoting rural revitalization. (Correspondent: Ren Shuai)
