Compensation of Grain for Green Programs Impact on Rural Employment Transfer.

Abstract: Grain for Green Programs (GGP) in Zhejiang province plays important role in protecting the environment, soil erosion prevention, production adjustment, and lifestyles promotion for local farmers. In this paper, the Chun’an County of Zhejiang Province was selected for the case study on analyzing the aspects of employment modes such as agricultural households, their income sources, and the corresponding industrial restructuring caused by the implementation of forestry ecological compensation in Zhejiang province. The corresponding strategies and suggestions for improving the mechanism of forestry ecological compensation were proposed. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
