continuous improvement of rural environment in the whole country. In 14,000 monitoring sites in 700 counties across China, rural environmental health, involving the
harmlessness treatment of rural sewage, wastes, and excrements, the soil hygiene and
the vector control has been monitored. By the end of 2014, 5.9 × 10
4 villages had
carried comprehensive environmental improvement, directly benefiting more than
1.1 × 10
8 people, so comprehensive improvement of rural environment has achieved
remarkable results. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of
China (CPC), General Secretary of the Central Committee of CPC Xi Jinping has
attached great importance to ecological civilization construction and rural environmental protection and put forward a series of new ideas, judgments and requirements
on building ecological civilization and strengthening environmental protection. He
stressed that if China wants to be a beautiful country, the countryside must be beautiful, and a beautiful country relies on beautiful countryside. China will continue to
promote the construction of new socialist countryside and build a happy homeland
for farmers. China should pay attention to ecological and environmental protection
in new rural construction, carry out comprehensive improvement of the rural living
environment according to local conditions, change the dirty, messy and poor conditions in rural areas as soon as possible, and give farmers a clean and tidy living
environment. In February, 2018, the State Council issued No. 1 document of the
central government, namely, the Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the
State Council on Implementing the Strategy of Rural Revitalization. It is proposed to
strengthen the prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution, carry
out green development in agriculture and realize input reduction, cleaner production,
waste resource recovery and ecological industrial mode. Obviously, strengthening
rural environmental protection is an inevitable requirement for building ecological
civilization, an important task of balancing urban and rural development, and an
urgent need to improve and guarantee people’s livelihood. To build a moderately
prosperous society in all respects, rural areas are the top priority, while the environment is the key. Rural environment is not only the weakest point, but also the most
potential breakthrough point and innovation point.
1.2 Necessity of Differentiated Resourceful Utilization
of Organic Wastes in Villages and Towns
With the constant and rapid development of economy, villages and towns in China
have rapidly entered the society of commodity of modern market economy from the
self-supporting agricultural society. Household goods in villages and towns have been
separated from most local production activities. Planting has been almost completely
separated from breeding and the closed-circuit production mode of organic matter
in the production and life of villages and towns has been completely cut off by modern agriculture and sustainable commercialization, mechanization and scale modes.
Subsequently, the output of a large number of organic wastes in villages and towns
increases sharply, while relevant treatment and disposal technologies and supporting
