An Empirical Study Of Changes Of Peasant Households’ Landuse Behavior Under Grain For Green Policy

The implementation of Grain for Green policy has achieved remarkable economicbenefit, social benefit and ecological benefit. Through the implementation of Grain for GreenPolicy，the farmers’ landuse behavior have changed, then it have affected the farmer’s landusestructure,labor and capital inputs and the disposition of land resource, the farmers’ productionstructure,income structure and consumption structure have changed finally.All these changeshave a important significance to social economy development and farmers’income growth.This paper conduct a study on the changes of farmers’landuse behavior under the Grain forGreen Policy based on the micro prospective.In this paper,basing on the data of field survey in four towns of Mizhi County ofShaanxi Province, combine with related theory in behavioral economics,land economics andpublic management science and other disciplines, I firstly divide the change of farmers’behavior in to three aspects in order to analyze,the three aspects are changes of famers’landuse structure, changes of farmers’input and output as well as changes of farmers’landproperty, and then I measure the degree of farmers’land concentration. Based on the empiricalresult, I try to make some policy proposal on how to guarantee sustainable development ofGrain for Green policy.This paper is divided into six parts. Part one is an introduction, clarifying the backgroundof this paper, and briefly summarizes the research achievement in domestic and overseas. Thesecond part describes the concept and theory used in this paper. The third part introduces theregional profile and data source in my thesis. Part four and part five are the most importantpart of the paper. In the fourth part, I use descriptive statistical method and make an analysisof land use structure, land input and output, land property rights before and after thelong-lasting factor for the fluctuation of property price growth rate.(3) The most importantfactor for commercial housing price growth rate volatilities is commercial housing priceshock itself in the first term but become money supply shock after the second term, whichagain proves that money supply is the most influencing quantitative factor for commercial implementation of Grain for Green policy. In the fifth part, I use the DID model to analyzethe net effect of Grain for Green Policy to farmers’ land circulation ratio and cultivate industryincome. In the last part, I summarize the research conclusion and give some suggestion toincrease farmers’ income and adjust rural industrial structure.Main conclusions:The low quality of the slope farmland have be dropped out of the planting range and theproportion of different types of cultivated land have be adjusted. Farmers reduced theproportion of cultivate grain crop to economic crop.After the implementation of Grain for Green Policy, farmers reduced the labor time andlabor investment in agricultural cultivation.The net effect of Grain for Green Policy tofarmers’cultivate industry income is negative.After the implementation of Grain for Green Policy, the number of farmers who transferfarmland is increased and the area of circulation land is also increased. The net effect of Grainfor Green Policy to the proportion of the circulation land to farmer’s total land is positive.
