 Research of the farmland protection based on food security —A case study of Anshan City in Liaoning Province, ChinaRong-li Yang Asian Agricultural Research, 2011, vol. 03, issue 01, 4 Abstract: The quantity and quality of farmland is the key factor determining grain production capacity, so protecting farmland has become the key to guaranteeing food security. I take Anshan City in Liaoning Province as the study area which has its own particularity in terms of protecting farmland. Based on the prediction of population, coupled with the relevant data concerning farmland area, the per unit area yield of grain, the prediction and analysis of the balance of supply and demand of farmland in Anshan City are conducted. The results show that in the year 2010, the maximum supply amount of farmland that the city can offer is 239000 hm2, and in the year 2020 the maximum supply amount of farmland that the city can offer will be 238000hm2; in the year 2010, the maximum demand amount of farmland is 204186.02 hm2, and in the year 2020 the maximum supply amount of farmland will be 226409.61hm2. So the supply amount of farmland that the city can offer can meet the need of grain production objective. Some problems concerning farmland protection are pointed out in order to provide beneficial exploration of the farmland protection based on the model of food security.
