In China, rural arable land is reducing sharply and abandoned arbitrarily. Currently, the red wire of 1.8 billion acres is merely maintained. Policies favorable to farmers can effectively be to stir enthusiasm of farmers and eventually maintain food security. Researching this issue can be practical and theoretcial significance.Based on research of this issue, gets various factors influencing abandoned land. With this basis, establishes a multiple linear regression model, using statistics data from national bureau and author's of social survey data. In the model, land abandonment area is as dependent variable, food prices, goods prices, household spending, natural disasters, agricultural subsidies, urban-rural dual structure and structure of rural households as the independent variable. Model results confirm that food prices, agricultural subsidies, agricultural labor's arable land per capita, price of production and natural disasters are significant factors by weight.Next, analyzes rural abandoned land's main factors and its mechanism:"free rider"by disintegration of the old commune system (command economy) and no establishment of new system (market economy), less transparent and effective mechanism for agricultural subsidies, lack of infrastruction, low capacity of resistance to natural disaster (risk), failure in farmers social security system; rigid management system of land resource, resulting in low land transfer and management and lacking of scale; for monopoly market of agricultural production, distorting the cost of agricultural production, damages farmers'enthusiasm to plant grain.With former conclusions, proposes measures of rural abandoned land: reform of the rural market system, break the monopoly of grain market, raise the minimum grain purchase prices; stabilize and protect the right to land contractual management, promote the transfer of land to achieve land scale; increase financial support for agriculture and optimize agriculture structure, improve the efficiency of agricultural subsidy; encourage various of mechanisms to jointly promote the construction of water conservancy facilities; expanding rural secure system's coverage and raise it's level; provide training opportunities and break the urban-rural dual structure.
