粮食主产区典型镇域的农业系统变化与农户生计 韧性评价——以河南省高杨店镇为例.

To explore ways to improve the resilience of the agricultural system and rural households in major grain-producing areas in China, a case study was performed in Gaoyangdian Town, which is located in a traditional agricultural area in Henan Province. The process of the adaptive cycle and characteristics of the agricultural system in different phases were analyzed. Additionally, the livelihood resilience of different rural households in the study area was quantitatively evaluated using the CRITIC-TOPSIS method. The study explored the correlation mechanism between the resilience of the agricultural system and farmers′ livelihoods. The results showed that since the 1950s, the agricultural system of Gaoyangdian Town has experienced two complete adaptive cycles. Farmers′ livelihoods gradually diversified from subsistence smallholder farming to large-scale operations and cultivation of new agricultural management entities. Climate change,institutional reform, policy responses, industrialization and urbanization, and technological innovation were the main drivers of the adaptive cycle. Based on the source and proportion of farmers′ income, rural households in the study area were divided into five types：traditional farming, regular earnings, self-employment, social security dependent, and part-time balance. Significant differences in livelihood resilience were evident among these types. The differentiation of farmers′ livelihoods resulted from the joint action of farmers′ independent development ability and external forces, including national policies, market forces, and social relations. Nested scales and mutual influences were observed between the agricultural system′ s resilience and farmers′ livelihood resilience, which manifested as the resilience of the agricultural system as a whole when farmers′ livelihood resilience accumulated to a certain extent.
