Faced with intensified environmental degradation and decreased
agricultural land productivity, the Chinese government has sought
policy interventions to reverse both of these negative trends.
Among the policy instruments is the Conversion of Cropland to
Forest and Grassland Program (CCFGP) that aims to change the
pattern of agricultural land use in 25 provinces and autonomous
regions across China. This book provides the most comprehensive
assessment of the CCFGP undertaken to date. It allows the
consideration of fundamental questions pertaining to the
sustainability of the land use changes brought about by the CCFGP,
its cost effectiveness and the prospects for policy evolution.
Contributions from a wide range of economists and scientists in the
book provide policymakers in the Chinese government with relevant
information with which to pursue more effectively
agro-environmental goals. Providing an economic assessment of
land-use policy in China, this book will be of great interest to
policymakers and government advisers in China, international donor
agencies, and academics and students with an interest in land-use
policy and environmental and natural resource economics and
management.
