The Grain for Green Project ( GGP) plays a very important rule in the ecological restoration of the Loess
Plateau. We investigated 149 households involved in GGP in 2001 ( the beginning of the GGP) again with
the similar questionnaires in 2015 for better understanding of the characteristic change of households in the loess
hilly - gully region. We analyzed the households by compared the 15 - year characteristic changes in terms of the
households to move out situation,labor structure,cultivated land and breeding situation,family income,the attitude
to the GGP. The non - agriculturalization change within the recent 15 years was obvious; More farmers involved
in GGp left the village and the labors for agriculture became less. The non - agricultural income of the
households increased rapidly and the overall income structure was improved. The economic difference among the
investigated households enlarged,and more households relied on more professional agricultural industries than
traditional crops. Unfortunately,fewer households paid attention the ecological protection with a higher expectation
on subsidies of GGP,and more people reclaimed they would re - cultivate the restored lands after the ending
of the subsidies from the government.
