Abstract:
      Taking Ansai County as an example, the effects of Grain for Green Project on the development of ecological agriculture with commodity (EAC) was analyzed. The results indicated that the effects of Grain for Green Project on EAC were mainly presented as the positive driving process and negative restriction on agricultural resources and industrial system. With the carrying out of the project, the proportion of forestland and grassland in total agricultural land in 2009 was increased by 11.3%, compared to that in 1998. As a result, agricultural resources were optimized, agricultural industrial structure was adjusted, and EAC was developed rapidly. However, the project also caused the idling and waste of agricultural resources. The actual amount of livestock in 200 8 only accounted for 19.36% of the theoretical optimum carrying capacity of grassland. The correlation between agricultural industries and resources became decreased, which restrained the development of EAC to some extent. In addition, the rapid development of EAC helped to consolidate the achievements of Grain for Green Project. Therefore, it is important to develop related industries so as to utilize agricultural resources more efficiently, and to improve the consistency between agricultural industries and resources so as to realize harmonious and sustainable development of agricultural eco economic system in Ansai County.
