Study On The Relationship Between Non-Grain Production Of Cultivated Land And Rural Household Income Under The Background Of The Rural Revitalization Strategy

The issues concerning agriculture,rural areas,and farmers(referred to as the“three rural issues”)are fundamental matters related to the country’s economy and people’s livelihood.General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasizes that solving the “three rural issues” should always be the top priority of the party’s work.We should make the rural revitalization strategy the main approach to the “three rural” work in the new era,with the basic goal of increasing farmers’ income.Cultivated land is the main resource basis for increasing farmers’ income,but the quantity,quality,and utilization status of cultivated land also directly relate to the country’s food security.In recent years,with the diversification of rural land use and planting methods,the area of cultivated land in our country has been decreasing year by year.The problem of “non-grainization” of cultivated land is becoming increasingly severe,severely threatening national food security.Currently,rural China has entered a crucial development period for consolidating poverty alleviation achievements and organically linking them with rural revitalization.It’s urgent to study the relationship between the “non-grainization” of cultivated land and farmers’ income.Xuanwei City is not only a major grain-producing county in Yunnan Province but also a key national-level rural revitalization support county.Besides grain production,rural industries involve economic forestry,medicinal materials,spice cultivation,pig farming,agricultural product processing,and other rural industries.However,the development of these rural industries has occupied a large amount of cultivated land.While farmers increase their economic income by developing characteristic industries,they inevitably accelerate the “non-grainization” of cultivated land.For this study,we selected Houkua Village,Longdong Village,and Panlong Village,three typical administrative villages in Labin Subdistrict,Xuanwei City,for field research and household surveys,obtaining 313 valid household survey sample data.We used a multiple linear regression model to analyze the influencing factors of the“non-grainization” of cultivated land and to deeply explore the relationship between the “non-grainization” of cultivated land and farmers’ income.From the perspective of food security,we proposed coping strategies for the “non-grainization” of cultivated land.The main conclusions are as follows:1.Based on household survey data,the rates of cultivated land “non-grainization”for the full sample,poverty alleviation villages,and regular villages are 33.01%,32.48%,and 34.50%,respectively.The “non-grainization” of cultivated land is noticeable,with the full sample and regular villages showing more severe“non-grainization” than poverty alleviation villages.2.Looking at the survey results for farmers’ income,the proportion of operational income in the total income of farmers in the full sample,poverty alleviation villages,and regular villages are 47.13%,48.09%,and 44.42%,respectively.The proportion of operational income is higher in poverty alleviation villages than in regular villages.From the perspective of operational income,the proportions of grain crop income in the operational income of farmers in the full sample,poverty alleviation villages,and regular villages are 38.89%,37.06%,and44.04%,respectively.The proportions of non-grain crop income in operational income are 46.16%,44.42%,and 51.03%,respectively.This not only indicates that the income proportion from planting non-grain crops significantly exceeds that of grain crops but also shows that the income proportion from planting non-grain crops in regular villages is significantly higher than in poverty alleviation villages.3.The results of the multiple linear regression model show that the main influencing factors of “non-grainization” of cultivated land in the full sample,poverty alleviation villages,and regular villages are different:(1)In the full sample,operational income,gender,transportation conditions,soil fertility,and grain planting benefits all passed the 1% significance level test,while age passed the 5%significance level test.(2)In poverty alleviation villages,operational income,transportation conditions,and grain planting benefits all passed the 1% significance level test,while gender and mechanization level passed the 5% significance level test,and age,irrigation conditions,and soil fertility passed the 10% significance level test.(3)In regular villages,operational income,property income,gender,and health status passed the 1%,10%,10%,and 5% significance level tests,respectively.(4)In the full sample,gender is negatively correlated with the “non-grainization” of cultivated land,which is contrary to expectations;in poverty alleviation villages,irrigation conditions are negatively correlated with the “non-grainization” of cultivated land,which is contrary to expectations;in poverty alleviation villages,gender is negatively correlated with the “non-grainization” of cultivated land,which is contrary to expectations.4.Based on the analysis of the influencing factors of the “non-grainization” of cultivated land,the following countermeasures and suggestions are proposed:(1)Increase farmers’ income from grain cultivation through various measures such as improving the precision of grain subsidies,enhancing socialized services for grain agriculture,improving the level of agricultural insurance services,and enhancing farmers’ awareness of grain cultivation,to improve enthusiasm for grain cultivation.(2)Improve soil fertility of cultivated land,strengthen agricultural technological innovation and technical training,improve conditions for planting on cultivated land,and promote grain crop production.
