| Abstract | According to the monitoring data of the Ministry of Land and Resources, between 1987 and 2000, a total of nearly 10 million ha of cropland area had been converted into built-up, forest/pastures and horticultural lands or destroyed by disasters. To a large extent, the policies and measures for cultivated land preservation embedded in the 1998 Land Management Law reflect the way in which resources are distributed under the traditional planned economy. The cultivated land protection mechanism is primarily a top-down control system, under which cultivated land requisition and conversion are subject to prescribed quota and approval control of the State Council, the provincial government and municipalities. This is followed by an analysis on the key policy tools and a discussion on the overall effectiveness of the mechanism introduced by the 1998 Land Management Law. |
