China sinceancient times is a natural disaster-prone country, in the face of natural disasters,agricultural resistance is very weak, so the need for the state the strong hand to makethe macro-control, formulate a series of laws and regulations to deal with theagricultural disaster prevention and reduction in the production of various naturaldisasters. Once Again, the present stage of our country is still in the farming culture,agricultural production is mainly decentralized, did not execute centralized mode,such characteristics of the agricultural production determines the face of the invasionof various natural disasters, poor agricultural disaster prevention and resilience.Therefore, the face of natural disasters, and how to prevent, reduce disaster losses, theeffective transfer and dispersion of natural risks in agriculture has become importantto China’s agriculture even is the primary task, and legal support mechanisms play aunique role in this process.
