Book excerpt: Almost two decades have passed since China first enacted legislation to protect farmland from conversion to nonagricultural use. Yet hundreds of thousands of hectares of agricultural land are still developed to urban area each year, raising the question of whether the legislation is effective in preserving farmland from development. This paper examines the effectiveness of the Basic Farmland Protection Regulation in protecting high-quality farmland from urban development in China in the first decade after it came into effect (1995?2005). The theoretical basis for this study is a spatial urban development model with a splitting equation. The empirical evaluation is conducted with georeferenced, longitudinal data on more than 2,000 counties in the country. Results indicate that the Regulation was effective in preserving farmland with high productivity potential only during the period 1995?2000. There is no evidence of effectiveness of the Regulation in protecting lands with good irrigation conditions or lands more suitable for growing major food grains. Farmland development induces the conversion of non-farmland to crop production. This substitution effect declined from 1986 to 2005 and is therefore less likely to be exaggerated by the enforcement of the dynamic balance strategy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers rely on economists and their models to determine when farmland should be protected from development through preservation policies. These models are necessary due to externalities, both positive and negative, which exist in the farmland market. Externalities pose a problem as they interfere with the market finding an optimal outcome automatically. These models provide insight into what actions should be taken, but they suffer from weaknesses which lessen their usefulness. While numerous studies exist which analyze positive and negative externalities of farmland, few have jointly considered them within the same model. This may result in improper policy recommendations when positive and negative externalities offset each other. Numerous existing models of land preservation are analyzed and compared for their relative strengths and weaknesses in providing information to policymakers. Some of the weaknesses in these models include a lack of a spatial consideration, ignoring the irreversibility of land conversion, failure to consider negative externalities, and a poor understanding of the impact of time on externality values. While market prices can be seen as a perfect indicator of future expectations in a well operating market, we have no such perfect measure when analyzing externalities. Instead, we have estimated values which do a poor job of reflecting how externality values can change over time due to increasing development. Some solutions to these problems include utilizing data and analysis of a smaller scale, which would allow more accurate policy recommendations. This could include information on parcel by parcel preservation decisions. A greater number of land classes and the addition of dynamic modeling methods would also improve the quality of economic analysis in the field of farmland preservation.
