With the advancement of the green for grain project,the problems of farmer's production and life are further presented.Although the income level of farmer has been improved after project,obviously,the level of well-being has not changed.In order to improve the well-being farmers' status and realize the policy objective of the project,it is necessary to break the tough research on the welfare of the monetary level in the neoclassical framework,to seek new theories and policy implementation path to improve the well-being of farmers,mainly from the following three aspects.First of all,to seek a new theory,to make more objective assessment of farmers the well-being changes.The evaluation of multidimensional welfare under the framework of the Amartya Sen capability approach is more realistic than the monetary evaluation of the neoclassical framework.A total of six basic functioning dimensions were selected for the evaluation of well-being.They were material life,work status,health status,education status,housing status and social participation.A total of 21 measurement indexes were selected.The fuzzy evaluation method was used to evaluate each functioning dimension and overall well-being.This method has no special requirements on the data.It can accurately reflect the level of well-being by dimensioning and weighting the functioning dimension and index system.The study of 619 farmers in Zhidan County and Wuqi County of northern Shaanxi found that the fuzzy index of well-being after returning farmland was 0.3118,higher than 0.2455 before returning farmland,and both the housing status and social participation in the fuzzy indexes of various functioning states A substantial increase,while material life,work status,health status and education status increased less.The improvement of housing status is due to the implementation of housing subsidy policy or the willingness of farmers to use house transfer income to build houses.The improvement of social participation is due to the forced removal of workers after returning farmland.The education level is not easy to be improved in a short period of time.Little change in status indicates that the improvement of living standard of farmers is not obvious.Secondly,we further evaluate the welfare conversion efficiency changes.A mere assessment of well-being does not provide an effective explanation of the true state of well-being of farms.It must be explained in terms of the well-being conversion efficiency,which provides a natural rationale for the conversion efficiency of well-being.The evaluation of welfare conversion efficiency involves multiple input and multiple output problems.Therefore,the DEA method widely used in this stage is selected and the influencing factors of efficiency are analyzed by establishing the two-stage Topbit model.Tongduo study on the efficiency of the conversion of welfare found that before and after the conversion of farmland to forestry there is a big difference in the conversion efficiency,the overall efficiency before retirement was 0.4508,0.1776 after returning farmland,and the welfare conversion efficiency of invalid farmers after returning farmland was 0.1582,less effective One-sixth of farmers,which can determine the level of well-being of farmers after returning farmland there is a big room for growth.Using Tobit model to analyze the influencing factors,it is found that the total family population before retirement,the number of domestic labor force,the distance from the nearest town and the distance from the nearest county all have a significant impact on the conversion efficiency.However,the total family population,household labor force,Age,the area of returning farmland to forestry,the distance from the nearest town,the distance from the nearest county,and the number of buses parked daily at the entrance of the village have a significant impact on the conversion efficiency.The factors that increase are mostly in the geographical location and peasant household characteristics,The relationship between farmers and the outside world is mainly limited by peasant household characteristics and geographical conditions.Finally,explore the internal logic and process of change in the formation of well-being.According to Morrison theory,the functioning dimensions of well-being are interdependent and mutually influencing each other and ultimately manifesting changes in the overall level of well-being.This part chooses the structural equation model to study and can explain the process of the formation and change of well-being more deeply by comparing the dependencies between the various functioning dimensions of well-being before and after the land conversion.The study found that the dependency among various functioning dimensions of well-being before and after the conversion of cultivated land is weak,which shows that the farmers in the cultivated area have not fully exerted the role of dependency in improving the overall well-being.And through comparative analysis,it is found that there is a great difference in the interdependence between different functioning dimensions before and after returning farmland,the significant path after returning farmland,and there is no existed before returning farmland,such as the effect of health on social participation,so judging the impact of interdependence An important reason for the personal initiative.This research found that the well-being of farmers who participate grain for green project hade been increase,but the increase was not large and generally low before and after project;the number of habitant well-being households after returning farmland increased,but the welfare status of some farmers worsened;the measurement of welfare did not effectively reflect the effect of policies and must be combined In addition,this study established the functioning dimension and index system of measurement of well-being of farmers in the area of returning farmland to farmland.By using the method of combining the well-being and the well-being conversion efficiency;explore the capability approach on the individual initiative research gaps;proposed to improve the level of well-being from three levels,the supply side of the supply of resources,the demand side of the conversion factor,the individual level of initiative.
