    E-commerce poverty alleviation is an innovative poverty alleviation method which can promotes the development of impoverished areas. As the northernmost agricultural province in China, Heilongjiang Province, on the one hand, has a certain degree of rural poverty, on the other hand, the advantages of a good ecological environment and abundant resources of green agricultural products. Therefore, it is very suitable for implementing targeted poverty alleviation through E-commerce. Through a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the current situation of rural E-commerce poverty alleviation in Heilongjiang Province, it is found that there are some problems such as the “relying on others” thinking of farmers, the lack of leading talents in the E-commerce industry, the low degree of standardization of agricultural products and the relative lack of infrastructure. The study puts forward some suggestions such as improving the awareness of poor households in E-commerce poverty alleviation, cultivating leading talents in rural E-commerce, establishing well-known brands of local agricultural products and improving infrastructure for the further development of E-commerce poverty alleviation in Heilongjiang Province.

    The aim is to provide a theoretical basis for predicting the prospect of grain production, improving the efficiency of grain production and ensuring food security. Using the statistical data of Hunan Province, the grey relational analysis method was used to screen the highly relevant influencing factors and a GM (1, N) prediction model was established to predict the grain production. The most influential factors related to the grain production of Hunan in 2008-2017 are the sowing area of grain crops and the total power of agricultural machinery. The scientific and technological factors are the main factors that affect the grain production, followed by natural and social factors. In 2018-2027, the grain production of Hunan has less fluctuation, and the total power of agricultural machinery and the fiscal agricultural expenditure have a greater impact. The total power of agricultural machinery has an important influence on grain production in the past and next ten years, and it is increasingly dominant. To maintain the level of production, it is necessary to attach great importance to the level of agricultural mechanization and steadily increase the sowing area of grain crops.

    The key to agricultural and rural work is to increase farmers’ income. This paper systematically reviewed the change and source components of Guangdong farmers’ income in the past 40 years of the reform and opening up, analyzed the main problems and challenges faced by Guangdong farmers’ income increase at present and in the future, and judged future growth points and policy choices of Guangdong farmers’ income increase. Since the reform and opening up, the growth rate of farmers’ income in Guangdong has experienced five stages: rapid growth-apparent decline-recovery-downturn-sustained rapid growth. The source of farmers’ income has changed fundamentally, the wage income contribution has become the main body, the business income contribution has decreased, the transfer income has become a new bright spot, and the property income contribution is relatively low. The absolute income gap between urban and rural residents shows that the ‘scissors gap’ continues to expand. At present, there are some problems and contradictions in the income growth of Guangdong farmers, such as less property income and insufficient fairness of distribution. In the new era, it is necessary to adapt to the changes of the new normal of the economy and strive to build a long-term mechanism for the sustained and stable increase of farmers’ income, including raising farmers’ human capital, promoting the development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries in rural areas, enhancing the rural property rights system, and improving the level of rural social security.

    The Ecological Conservation Area (ECA) of Beijing is not only an important protective screen for the ecological safety of Beijing, but a significant foundation for local social-economic development. Its development requires balancing the relationship of ecological protection and economic development. Miyun District, located in the northeast of Beijing as an ECA, was taken for case study. In this study, farmers’ income data change from 2006 to 2018 was analyzed, and indicators of agroforestry water expenditure, the regional GDP, cultivated land area, etc., were selected to construct the evaluating system for correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis, aiming to explore the indicators’ impacts on farmers’ income. The results showed that the per capita income of farmers had an upward trend and was positively correlated with five indicators such as agroforestry water expenditure and regional GDP, and was negatively correlated with total agricultural machinery power consumption and other indicators. To promote the coordinated development of ecological economy in ecological conservation areas, the study puts forward some adaptive income increasing strategies, such as strengthening the infrastructure construction, increasing the investment in human capital, promoting industrial transformation and upgrading and improving the ecological compensation mechanism.

    By the end of 2020, absolute poverty had been eliminated across China. However, there are still some problems in the development of rural economy, especially in mountainous areas, such as the backward development concept of farmers, the single mode of production and the lack of development ideas. These problems seriously restrict the revitalization of rural economy in mountainous areas. To carry out the strategy of rural revitalization, the government and society should focus on current rural development status, find out the causes of the problems, and put forward countermeasures to build up the rural economy. Taking F county in Hebei Province as an example, combined with the rural situation of other poverty-stricken mountainous areas in Hebei Province,this paper analyzed the problems existing in the progress of rural economy, especially in the mountainous areas, and put forward corresponding suggestions.

    Innovate precise poverty alleviation work has risen to national strategy under the new normal. It is important to explore the co-existence mode of the “Green water, Green hill” and “Golden hill, Silver hill”, particularly to the poverty alleviation in western China with fragile ecology. The new combination mode of “ecological poverty alleviation” and “economic poverty alleviation” was discussed by taking the industry development of psammophyte Cerasus humilis as an example. The biggest characteristic of C. humilis is strong resistance, and significant ecological function. On the other hand, economic benefit of C. humilis is remarkable attribute to its higher comprehensive utilization of fruit, kernel, leaf, root and flower. C. humilis industry relates to food, health care products, cosmetics, medicine, tourism and other fields. Deep excavation of comprehensive value and industry development of C. humilis, is not only the growing enlarged health needs of people, but also the needs of poverty alleviation and sand industry development. The paper suggests that the “economic poverty alleviation” guided by “ecological poverty alleviation”, is the essence of precise poverty alleviation.

    China has a large population, and food security is a major event relating to people’s livelihood. Strengthening grain yield prediction can ensure food security. Based on historical data of grain yield in Sichuan from 2001 to 2015, we adopted grey system theory and set up GM (1, 1) prediction model on the basis of the weakening buffer operator, then used four error checking methods, including residual error, grade ratiodeviation, correlation degree and posteriori error to test the reasonability and the prediction accuracy. Then we applied GM (1, 1) prediction model to predicting the grain yield in future three years. Test results indicate that the grey system theory is appropriate when it is applied to grain yield prediction and has high prediction accuracy. According to GM (1, 1) prediction model, the grain yield of the year 2016, 2017, 2018 will increase by -2.11%, -0.39% and 1.21% respectively year on year. It can be concluded that the grain yield of Sichuan will increase in fluctuation in the near future.

    In the decisive stage of overcoming poverty, hidden and stubborn factors in poverty alleviation are the key problems that need to be solved urgently, and the elimination of deep poverty problem needs more precision and innovative motive force. Therefore, based on the theoretical framework of sports science, the paper explores the blocking pathways of poverty intergenerational transmission in the new era from the perspective of sports poverty alleviation. Using the methods of literature and logic analysis, this paper analyzes the structure, culture and mixed mechanism of poverty intergenerational transmission, and then explores the three-dimensional hidden dilemma of poverty intergenerational transmission in subject endowment, ideology and economic foundation. The paper puts forward that from the main body of poverty, ‘ambition, mind, physical health’ should be highlighted at the same time, from ideology, carrying forward the traditional national sports and adhering to cultural self-confidence should be uphold; from the economic basis, revitalizing the rural sports industry and increasing income and expanding posts should be undertaken. It provides some theoretical support for blocking the intergenerational transmission of poverty through the particularity and irreplaceable development of the poverty alleviation path.

    Farmers'' income is both a basis and a barometer of rural economic development. Agricultural management income is an important part of farmers’income. Based on the survey data of five suburban counties in Tianjin, this paper uses the regression method to analyze the main factors influencing farmers'' operating income. The results show that the sustained investment of production factors and industrial structure type have a significant positive impact on farmers’operating income, while science and technology training tend to be formalistic and have a significant negative impact on it; regional position and farmers’educational level have no significant effect on operating income; new linking modes between production and marketing do not increase the bargaining power of farmers, and show no income increasing effect. The study suggests accelerating the land transfer, implementing structural adjustment policies, strengthening scientific and technological innovation and promotion, innovating production and marketing convergence mode and etc., to promote the level of farmers'' scale management and improve agricultural management income.

    The accuracy of a single forecasting model is not high, and the forecasting results can not reflect the relationship between economic variables. For solving these problems, the gray multivariable linear econometric model is constructed by combining with the gray GM(1,1) model and multivariable econometric model. And then, the proposed model is used to forecast trend of the per capital net income of rural residents in Hunan province. The forecasting precision of the proposed model is not only higher than the single gray GM(1,1) model and multivariable linear regression model, but also could reflect the relationships between the economic variables. The forecasting results show that the per capital net income of rural residents in Hunan province will increase year by year in next few years, but the growth rate will be relatively slow. Finally, some suggestions for regulating the income gap of rural residents in Hunan province.

The dynamic analysis of 10 influencing factors in these two periods was performed using the method of gray correlation analysis. The results revealed that grain planting area was the most important factor affecting the grain yield in Jiangsu Province. The effective irrigated area and total power of agricultural machinery had experienced the change from weak to strong. The agricultural expenditure ratio was important, although its pulling effect was weakened. A large number of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have a great effect on the grain yield, and there is a big increase in utilization rate. On the macro level, the impact of science and technology on grain production is increasing, followed by policy and natural factors. In order to increase the grain output of Jiangsu Province,it is suggested that more efforts should be put to stabilize the planting area of grain crops,improve the level of agricultural science and technology, actively develop green food production, and increase the financial input to agriculture.

    To systematically construct the overall research contexts of poverty-returning risks, the existing research literature in mainstream journals at home and abroad is sorted out by means of literature research and comparative analysis. It is found that there are difficulties as follows. Most objects of the research are poor households but it is difficult to track the change trend of the production and the life of farmers out of poverty. And it is also difficult to prevent and warn poverty in advance instead of combating poverty after the event. The research methods are mostly from single index system method or characteristic index method, which are difficult to draw on each other’s strength. Based on these, the future research contexts of the poverty-returning risks are constructed and the future research trends are summarized as (three transitions): the research focus should be changed from poverty stricken population to population out of poverty and on clarifying the poverty-returning mechanism; the research perspective should be changed from combating poverty after the event to the whole process of “before, during and after the event”; the method should be changed from single index system method or characteristic index method to the a comprehensive method combining indicator system with characteristic indexes.

The results show that (1) personal resource endowments, family environment and social security factors could all generate vulnerability to poverty risk, but the rural female’s willingness to flexible employment is actually strong; (2) rural female’s flexible employment livelihood asset index level is generally low in the study areas, and its internal difference is large; (3) based on the asset index and vulnerability characteristics, Shache and Yecheng County could be defined as areas with fragile personal endowments and family environments; Yingjisha and Jiashi County could be defined as areas with fragile family environment and social security. Therefore, corresponding countermeasures and suggestions are proposed to optimize female livelihood assets allocation and keep sustainable development of employment out of poverty.

    The grain yield from 1999 to 2017 in Shaanxi was divided into two stages and 10 influence factors of grain yield were analyzed dynamically with grey correlation analysis method, and the data processing was realized by SAS statistical software, aiming to provide data support for improving grain productivity and enhancing grain security in Shaanxi. The results showed that the most important factor affecting the grain yield in Shaanxi was the grain planting area. The effect of effective irrigation area and rural employment on grain yield was gradually enhanced. It was imperative to reduce the amount of pesticides and fertilizers and increase their efficiency. On the macro level, natural factors were still the first to influence grain output, the impact of scientific and technological factors was increased, and the last was policy factor. The important measures to ensure food security in Shaanxi are improving the quality of cultivated land, stabilizing the sown area of grain crops, reducing the amount and increasing the efficiency of pesticides and fertilizers, and promoting green grain production.

    [Purpose/Significance] Consolidating the achievements of targeted poverty alleviation and building a relative poverty reduction mechanism will be the key problem for Chinese government after 2020; information poverty alleviation is expected to play a key role in the future poverty reduction in China. [Method/Process] Based on a systematic literature review and an on-site investigation, this study made an in-depth analysis on the policy documents issued by Chinese government in past decades to shed light on the governance and intervention on information poverty. [Results/Conclusions] Although China's information poverty reduction policy has made remarkable achievements, there are still some problems, including "to pay too much attention on the information infrastructure construction instead of the how to use them", " investment, but not evaluation, is put on the top priority", "the content of information poverty reduction project remains vague", "compared to social level information resource allocation, individual level information poverty intervention is ignored", and " emphasizing too much on the coverage of information sources instead of identification of those vulnerable people in the information society". Thus, based on an analysis of logic association between information poverty and economically relative poverty, this study puts forward some policy related suggestions and potential research items for future research.

    Lvliang and Taihang, two concentrated and contiguous poverty-stricken areas in Shanxi Province, are the main targets for poverty alleviation of China. In this paper, 21 state-level special poverty-stricken counties in 4 cities of these areas were taken as the research objects. The agricultural economic data of the study areas from 2008 to 2018 were obtained from the Statistical Yearbook of Shanxi Provincial Bureau of Statistics and the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council. The principal component analysis method was used to evaluate the agricultural economic development, in order to explore the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of agricultural economic development and their relationship with poverty in concentrated and contiguous poverty-stricken areas in Shanxi. The results show that there are regional differences in the agricultural economic development level between Lvliang and Taihang, and the agricultural economic development has been improved with the passage of time. However, farmers’ extensive use of backward agricultural machinery in agricultural production has reduced their enthusiasm for production, resulting in a decrease in the total agricultural output value. The application of excessive chemical fertilizer in agricultural planting has led to poor soil quality and crop yield decrease, and further aggravated poverty. Therefore, when targeted poverty alleviation is carried out in concentrated and contiguous poverty-stricken areas, it is necessary to “implement policies according to local conditions and time”, change the traditional backward agricultural production mode in these areas, and take a green, inclusive and sustainable agricultural economic development road.

    In order to find a better way to fulfill the policy of accurate poverty alleviation in Sichuan Province, the method of MCA (multiple correspondence analysis) was applied in the study. It was the first time using this method to study poverty alleviation so far. Results of this study revealed that location, agricultural industry, object and circle of technology demands were correlated. Enterprises in southern and western Sichuan had stronger willingness for processing technology of Chinese herbal medicine, cooperative organizations in southern and eastern Sichuan had stronger technical demands for economical crops, and governmental departments in western Sichuan showed a stronger requirement for planting technology of forestry, fruit and breeding technology of livestock and poultry. The aim of accurate poverty alleviation was to plan industrial zone correctly, support and serve industry accurately. This aim should be fulfilled by finding demand at first, one-to-one aid, guidance of governmental projects, and participation of enterprises. It was vital to handle the relationship between production and market, government and market, innovation and service in the process of accurate poverty alleviation.

    Poverty alleviation by E-commerce is an important way of accurate poverty alleviation. The authors took Weining County of Guizhou Province as the research object, analyzed the key constraints in the development of E-commerce based on the status of local E-commerce, and put forward the policy measures to promote the development of E- commerce in Weining. Interviewing method, SWOT analysis and analytic hierarchy process were applied in this research, the current situation and problems of E-commerce in Weining were expounded and the internal and external factors were analyzed, strength, weakness, opportunities and threats in agricultural products network marketing were discussed, and by means of experts grading and AHP analysis, the weight of the above factors was calculated, and the strategies of E-commerce development were proposed. The results showed that the development of E-commerce was conducive to poverty alleviation, but the imbalance of purchase and sale was an important and inevitable obstacle. To overcome the obstacle, the factor of threats should be viewed as the biggest impact factor, followed by strength, and the third and fourth were opportunity and weakness. ST strategy could be chosen to promote the agricultural products network marketing in Weining, and the advantages of strength could be taken to resist threats, while taking SO strategy into account. Finally, there were several specific measures as follows: building“green brand”, reducing production and circulation costs; creating a better environment of E-commerce; promoting the service system and developing online tourism business.

    Grain production is an important part of the national economy, and grain yield is significant for guaranteeing grain security in China. In order to improve the scientific and accurate prediction of grain yield, based on the analysis of the existing prediction methods, the grey theory and neural network were combined organically, the main and objective factor indexes were determined from many influencing factors on grain yield by grey correlation analysis. These indexes were applied in the prediction of grain yield with the artificial neural network. The results showed that the maximum error of the artificial neural network prediction was 1.21%, the average error was 0.63%, and the prediction accuracy was relatively high. This study provides a scientific and effective forecasting method for grain yield.

    The diffusion of e-commerce has played a significant role in recent rural economic development in China.  E-commerce is also considered as an efficient channel to alleviate poverty in rural China.  Voluminous studies have investigated the contribution of e-commerce to agricultural development, yet it is lacking empirical evidence as to the effects of e-commerce on rural poverty alleviation.  Since the year of 2014, in order to develop rural e-commerce, Chinese government launched the National Rural E-commerce Comprehensive Demonstration Project.  This gradual involvement policy offered a natural experiment for evaluation of e-commerce.  Based on village-level survey data from rural China and Heckit method, our study finds that rural e-commerce has a signi?cantly positive effect on rural income.  Moreover, the effect is inverted U-shaped for the relative-poverty villages.  The estimation of the propensity scores matching model confirms that the results are robust.  The following policy recommendations are proposed: (1) policy support to rural e-commerce should prioritize the poverty-stricken villages.  By doing so, the marginal income effects of e-commerce will be maximized.  (2) Investment in internet infrastructure and establishment of human resources for e-commerce in rural areas will have spillover effects, increasing rural income through the “digital dividend”.

    A large body of empirical literature showed that the adoption of agricultural technologies reduces poverty.  However, dominants of those studies so far used one-dimensional income or expenditure-based measures of poverty which may not reflect other types of deprivations.  Therefore, the major objective of this study is to examine the impact of adopting climate-smart agricultural technology, which refers to a joint application of row planting methods and the use of chemical fertilizers, on the multidimensional poverty status of rural households in Ethiopia.  To estimate the impact of the stated technologies, this study employs propensity score matching and endogenous switching regression methods.  To measure the multidimensional poverty index, the study also uses the Alkire and Foster counting approach.  Using the Ethiopian Socioeconomic Survey (ESS), collected in 2015-Wave 3, the results of the study show that the adoption of these technologies reduces deprivation score and one of its component, the standard of living part.  Regionally, a high reduction in deprivation is observed in Amhara and Oromiya regions.  The results also show that the impact is significantly higher in severely deprived households.  It is also observed that the reduction in multidimensional poverty due to the technology is through an increase in income/consumption via improvement in production gain.  The impact channels more through the non-food expenditure pathway.  Finally, this study also sheds light on the effects that technology adoption has on multidimensional poverty reduction.

    Increasing farmers'' property income plays an important role, in improving the overall income level of farmers and promoting the coordinated development of urban and rural areas. In recent years, farmer''s property income has increased, but the effect of increasing farmers'' income has not been fully reflected. Based on the data of farmers'' property income from 2011 to 2015 of Beijing and the empirical investigation of 3 counties of Beijing, this article analyzes the present situation and the growth potential of farmers'' property income. It shows that the main factors restricting the growth of farmers'' property income are land system, collective distribution system, financial system, the amount of property owned by farmers, the level of education, knowledge and skills related to it. So the government, rural collective economic organizations, financial institutions and individuals should result force, to expand the strength of rural collective economic organizations, revitalize the existing rural homestead, innovative rural financial model, etc. These methods will promote rural land circulation, asset management and money flow of farmers. The improvement of property income will be promoted.

    The paper aims to eradicate poverty effectively in poverty stricken areas and meet the livelihood demands of the poverty stricken population. According to the sampling survey in Ningwu and Dai, which are located in northwestern Shanxi, the authors analyzed the livelihood characteristics and demands of the poverty stricken population. The results showed that: the livelihood of the poverty stricken population showed a certain vulnerability and uniqueness in Ningwu and Dai; the livelihood demands of the poverty stricken population were manifested in 7 aspects, including the resources and potentialities, employment and income enhancement, household participation in development, basic living standard, application of suitable technology, the level of infrastructure construction and the construction level of beautiful and livable villages. The performance of the livelihood demands of the poverty stricken population determined the corresponding countermeasures. According to the livelihood problem of the poverty stricken population, this paper constructs the research content which is the combination of endogenous development and the livelihood demands of the poverty stricken population.
