| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
More than 10 years have past since Chinese government started the Grain for Green project in 1999, for environmental restoration mainly in upper and middle reaches of Huang He and Chang Jiang. The policy is characterized by aiming at not only environmental restoration by large-scale afforestation in the catchment area but also promoting development of rural economy through land reclamation and promotion of alternative development projects instead of giving up steep slope cultivation among villages conducting the Grain for Green project. This study preliminarily elucidates present conditions of forestation as well as household economy among rural villages in several districts of Yan’an City with special references to alternative development projects and villagers’ incomes, based on field observation and interviews conducted in 2011-2014. The result indicates that there are regional differences in the consequences of forestation as well as rural development plans.
