Abstract:

As the Chinese urbanization and industrialization procedure fasted, the farmer’s diversification level eventually arises. In the meanwhile, serious water loss, soil erosion and soil fertility decline sharpen the man-land contradiction. Therefore, the land sustainable use refers to agricultural health development and Chinese food safety. The econometric tool is used to analyze the effects factors of land use patterns, such as land abandon and extensive use, tree crop and perennial crop planting, seasonal crop planting, keeping irrigation and drainage canal unobstructed, the rate of applying farmyard manure, and building methane tank, etc. It is concluded that the level of farmer’s diversification has dual effects, which are helpful to overcome capital constrain as well as decreasing the motive for investing on conservation of water and soil since diversification results in peasant household reducing dependence on agriculture.
