the conversion of farmland(back to forest or grassland) in foreign countries has various objectives
such as alleviating social contradiction
eliminating grain overstock
conserving biodiversity
reconstructing landscape
mitigating greenhouse effect
etc. Proceeding from analysis of the farmland's conversion abroad
we can make a conclusion that economic strength is the basis of this kind of farmland's conversion
the surplus of grain is the pledge and the shift of labor to towns or cities is the precondition. Furthermore
the success of the farmland's conversion benefits from the changes of revenue policies to a great extend. To put the Farmland's Conversion Project into effect in China
taking the experience of other countries and considering of China's specific situation
this research proposes two advises: on the one hand
the economic construction and grain production must be strengthened; on the other hand
the living of the farmers who convert their own cultivated land back to forest or grassland should be well arranged. The government may carry out a series of preferential policies about revenue and credit etc. to make those farmers live better.
