Abstract

The change of land system from collective operation to the household contract responsibility system at the beginning of China’s reform and opening-up had effectively motivated the enthusiasm of the peasants, which resulted in the rapid agricultural development. However, the urbanization process in recent years has attracted large numbers of migrant workers from the countryside, leading to a large amount of idle land in rural areas. Land circulation of various forms can bring about scale economy and makes for the development of modern agriculture, but under the unprompted land transfer practice based on individual decisions, the rights of the parties concerned can not be fully guaranteed, which is detrimental to the upgrade of agricultural industry. As a consequence, model innovation of land circulation is vital and governments at all levels have a big role to play.
