Features: Afforestation of cultivated land is the main measure for ecological restoration and reconstruction in the western development of China. With the recent shift of national regional development policies from focused development to balanced development, as well as the reversal of the macroeconomic environment for afforestation of cultivated land, the research on this issue is no longer a hot topic as it was in the early stages of western development. This book is a project under the "15th Five-Year Plan" and the "Project 211" of Southwest University of Finance and Economics. The research topic of this book was proposed against the backdrop of how policies should be chosen when the mechanism and institutional design and operation of afforestation of cultivated land are at a crossroads. The book grasps the policy orientation of afforestation of cultivated land from a macro policy level, while also analyzing the behavior and motivations of farmers from the perspective of households. It emphasizes both abstract and general thinking while providing regional case studies as examples.
