Abstract

Prime farmland protection system is an important part of China's arable land protection system, carrying the important mission of arable land protection and food security. Based on the analytical framework of historical institutionalism, this paper reviews the whole course of China's basic farmland protection system since the reform and opening-up, and finds that the basic farmland protection system has experienced four periods: germination and pilot, promotion and establishment, development and perfection, and deepening change. The reform of economic system, the adjustment of governmental institutions and the situation of arable land resources are the deep structure affecting the change of basic farmland protection system. The high exit cost, learning effect, synergy effect, and the formation of adaptive expectations make the basic farmland protection system have a strong path dependence, and the game of multiple interests and the administrative rational choice of the central government become the driving mechanism of the change of the basic farmland protection system. Looking ahead, the basic farmland protection system needs to break through the path dependence and develop towards the direction of high-standard permanent basic farmland.
