Returning farmland to forest and grassland
Returning farmland to forest and grassland refers to the management mode of stopping farming on sloping farmland and planting trees and grass instead, restoring vegetation and controlling soil erosion to prevent soil erosion.
As early as1July 25th, 957, the Provisional Outline of Soil and Water Conservation in People's Republic of China (PRC) issued by the State Council put forward the requirement of forbidding slope, returning farmland to afforestation and planting grass. Since 2000, China has implemented the project of returning farmland to forests and grasslands in water erosion areas and wind erosion areas with serious soil erosion, which has become an important measure to improve the harsh ecological environment in the western region.
In June 2022, the State Forestry and Grassland Bureau, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs jointly issued the Notice on Further Improving the Policies and Measures for Consolidating the Achievements of Returning Farmland to Forests and Grasslands, which pointed out that in order to consolidate the achievements of returning farmland to forests and grasslands,

The Yellow River Basin refers to the geographical and ecological areas affected by the Yellow River system from the source to the sea. Traditionally, people often refer to the relevant areas where the Yellow River flows through provinces and regions as the Yellow River Basin. The basin spans the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Inner Mongolia Plateau, Loess Plateau and Huanghuaihai Plain from west to east.
The Yellow River, called China River in ancient times, originated in bayan har, Qinghai Province, China, and flowed through Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong provinces, and finally merged into the Bohai Sea in Kenli District, Dongying City, Shandong Province.
The Yellow River basin is high in the west and low in the east. The average elevation of the source area in the west is above 4000m, which is composed of a series of mountains with perennial snow, and the glacier landform is developed. The elevation of the central region is between 1000-2000 m, with loess landform and serious soil erosion. The eastern part is mainly composed of the alluvial plain of the Yellow River.
