Other Abstract | Considering the contradictions among resources, population and grain are becoming more and more serious, the issues of response of agriculture eco-economic system to land use changes was investigated on county scale in Loess Plateau Gully Area, by taking data such as land use data, social economic statistics data and peasant household survey data. These were land use changes and characteristics of land use structure, potential grain productivity and security under the background of ―Grain for Green‖ policy, land use and agro-ecolomic system coupling in household scale and agro-ecolomic system coupling degree in1949-2008 on county scale were analysed, and the results are as follows: Based on the understanding of connotation of land use structure, this study investigated land use structure characteristics Changwu county in 2009, by selecting quantitative indices combined with GIS technology. The main feature of land use structure in the county could be generalized as: arable land and forest land patches constitute landscape matrix, regional land combination type comprises forest land, arable land, garden plot and unused land. The plateau-gully-slope morphological pattern of Loess Plateau provided a natural foundation of land use structure in the country. There was mighty significant correlation between population density and land use degrees. Land use structure was embodied by location advantage of residents, industrial and mining land to some extent. Land use structure in Loess Plateau didn’t reflect economic levels, land use status should be adjusted and optimized in this region.
In this study, the data of agricultural meteorology in Changwu County in 1993 and 2009 were used to evaluate the grain productivity potentiality. The farmland area and its geographical distribution in 1993 and 2009 were used to check the farmland change and the grain security in the county. The potential productivity for each meterological factor limitation level for main grain plants and the degree of potentiality exploited was calculated using mechanism methodology. Compared with 1993, the achievable potential productivity in 2009 reduced by 7.8%, while the actual grain productivity increased by 4.0%, so the fulfilling rate of the potential natural productivity increased from 61.58% in 1993 to 68.59%Considering the contradictions among resources, population and grain are becoming more and more serious, the issues of response of agriculture eco-economic system to land use changes was investigated on county scale in Loess Plateau Gully Area, by taking data such as land use data, social economic statistics data and peasant household survey data.

The way to solve grain security needs improvement of per capital grain yield. To improve economic efficiency, management should be aimed at scale and industrialization. Appropriate agricultural policies and a better external environment can promote the stable development of the agricultural eco-economic system in a harmonious level, otherwise, a retrogressive system may be expected.
