Features: This book is based on the "Agricultural Law of the People's Republic of China" and related laws and regulations, using numerous agricultural dispute cases that have occurred in rural life in recent years as clues. It covers issues such as arbitrary fees, fines, and levies imposed on farmers; raising funds, meeting standards, rating, and inspections for farmers; illegal tax levies and unlawful taxation; educational fees beyond regulations; compensation for collective land requisition by farmers; land contract and operational rights transfer for farmers; village committees' financing and labor mobilization for rural public welfare projects; whether farmers voluntarily provide paid services; disguised downgrading and price suppression in agricultural product purchases; losses caused by substandard production materials for farmers; reasonable demands of farmers and government responses; farmers' applications for administrative reconsideration and lawsuits. This book categorizes these issues into five parts: protecting farmers' rights to reduce burdens, protecting farmers' rights to land contract and operation, safeguarding villagers' autonomy rights, protecting farmers' rights to administrative reconsideration, and protecting farmers' rights to file lawsuits. It explains how to use laws and regulations to protect farmers' legitimate rights and interests in the form of questions, enabling readers to systematically understand and master the legal principles for safeguarding farmers' rights. The main feature of this book is its practical explanation of laws and regulations for protecting farmers' rights, closely related to farmers' lives, and is easy to understand, accurate, specific, and highly operational. It is co-authored by legal experts and professors from the Ministry of Agriculture, making it more authoritative than general Q&A books. This book serves as a "legal advisor" for farmers to resolve disputes, seek legal advice, and use legal means to protect their legitimate rights and interests. It also provides rural cadres engaged in rural administration, justice, and mediation with many directly applicable legal provisions and methods for resolving rural disputes, making it an excellent legal reference manual for rural cadres.
