Research On The Impact Of Rural Land Consolidation On Poverty Vulnerability

At present,China has entered a critical period from poverty alleviation to rural rejuvenation and urban-rural integration development.During this period,land is still an important livelihood for residents in poor areas of our country to survive,get rid of poverty and become rich.In recent years,rural land has effectively alleviated problems such as the relative scarcity of arable land and scattered and extensive land use of residents in poor areas through comprehensive management.Therefore,studying the effects of agricultural land management on poverty governance can help poor areas make more rational use of land resources,reduce regional disparities,and achieve Sustainable economic development.Current research on poverty governance often uses poverty incidence as a measure,and poverty vulnerability as a dynamic and forward-looking indicator can more accurately measure farmers' welfare levels and livelihoods in the future.Therefore,studying the effects of farmland improvement on poverty vulnerability will help farmers increase their livelihood capital,thereby achieving the goals of resisting risks,increasing production and income,and getting rid of poverty and becoming rich Current research on poverty governance often uses poverty incidence as a measure,and poverty vulnerability as a dynamic and forward-looking indicator can more accurately measure farmers' welfare levels and livelihoods in the future.Therefore,compared with the poverty index based on income,poverty vulnerability can better reflect the long-term impact of farmland improvement on farmer households or individuals in future agricultural production and physical capital.By studying the effects and factors of agricultural land improvement on the poverty vulnerability of farmers,it is beneficial to farmers' families,thereby achieving the purpose of resisting risks,increasing production and income,and getting rid of poverty and becoming richBased on the perspective of the peasant household family,this article combines classic theories such as economics and land resources science,and explains how the agricultural land remediation affects the poverty vulnerability of peasant households at a theoretical level.On this basis,the household characteristics of the sample of farmers are used to make an ex-ante estimation of their livelihood status,and then to achieve a quantitative analysis of the impact of farmland improvement on poverty vulnerability.The farmer sample data used in the study are from the China Household Financial Survey(CHFS).The data of rural observation points were retained during the sample processing,and after excluding household samples with missing important variables such as income and assets,the families that participated in the follow-up survey in 2011,2013,2015,and 2017 were selected,and finally formed A parallel panel data set with 2186 families and 4 periods totaling 4,712 samples.The empirical part first introduces different scholars'definitions and measurement principles of the vulnerability of household poverty.Based on the actual situation,this paper chooses the most representative measurement method.Then use the two poverty line standards of 2300 yuan per year and $ 2 per day per person,with 50%as the threshold,and use the three-stage feasible generalized least squares method(FGLS)to carry out poverty vulnerability values on the sample set in four phases.Measure.Finally,the last two periods of panel data were processed,and the propensity score matching method and double difference method were used to mark the farmers who participated in the improvement of agricultural land and those who did not participate in the improvement of agricultural land.The results of this study show that:(1)The improvement of farmland has a reducing effect on the vulnerability of rural households to poverty.The specific performance is:when using the 2,300 yuan/year as the poverty threshold,farmland improvement can reduce the family's poverty vulnerability by 4%;when using the $ 2/day as the poverty threshold,the agricultural land management can reduce the family poverty vulnerability by 3.2%,And both are significant.Among the factors affecting the reduction of poverty vulnerability,the improvement of farmland per capita land area,farmland grade,per capita income,the value of farm machinery owned by households,and household financial assets have been significantly improved;although the per capita housing site area and family labor burden coefficient have been reduced,it can be explained from the actual situation such as the rational use of land and changes in farmers' livelihood strategies.(2)Farmland improvement can effectively solve problems such as the reduction of cultivated land and the contradiction of urban land use in the process of social development.Through description and analysis,in recent years,with the continuous advancement of agricultural land consolidation,reclamation,development,and high-standard farmland construction,the area of agricultural land has also increased accordingly,and the trend of rural land use has become more intensive and large-scale(3)Significant progress has been made in China's rural poverty alleviation work.However,in the deeply impoverished areas,there are still problems of concentrated distribution of poor people,some chronic poverty cannot be improved,and high poverty return ratesBased on the above research conclusions,the following suggestions are put forward(1)Continue to expand the influence of farmland improvement projects in poor areas Projects such as "increase and decrease links" can be used to expand the funding channels for farmland improvement work and lead farmers to actively Participate in all aspects of land improvement projects.(2)Focus on agricultural land improvement and green sustainable poverty reduction.First,farmers must establish a sustainable development concept and make more rational use of land resources;second,focus on high-standard farmland construction,transform old villages and ineff-iciently used construction land.At the same time,take into account the development of agricultural production in poor areas(3)Pay more attention to the vulnerable groups in poverty,and formulate corresponding assistance measures for this group of people to prevent them from falling into poverty in the future.(4)Cultivate and encourage the development of new agricultural operations Villagers should be encouraged to carry out small-scale agricultural entrepreneurship or investment,and provide farmers with timely guidance on agricultural policies and skills(5)Actively broaden the main body of poverty alleviation and improve the status quo of the government's single poverty alleviation body.It can guide social organizations or institutions to participate in poverty alleviation through outsourcing,using hospital resources to provide free medical examinations for poor people,and using college resources to provide employment guidance for poor families.
