Based on the provincial panel data from 1985 to 2008,this paper demonstrates the action mechanism of climate change on grain cultivation scale and per unit yields,and analyzes the impact of industrial transfer on food security.The conclusion shows:(1) rice,wheat and corn industries are respectively transferring to areas in that lack resources like Heilongjiang,Henan and Inner Mongolia,etc.;(2) the dominant factor of transfer lies in the cost-benefit comparison between grain crops and cash crops,crop farming and livestock breeding,agriculture and non-agriculture,while the climate change factor is only in a subsidiary status;(3) based on the mechanism of scale effect,income effect and rebound effect,the three northeastern provinces,Henan and Inner Mongolia have better growth potential than the other regions;(4) the productive and political cost for adapting to climate change in backward regions is usually less than the opportunity cost for maintaining food production in developed regions.Food production transferring from the developed regions to the less developed regions should be sustainable.And there is no conflict between individual rationality and collective rationality in the process of food origin transferring.China should increase investment in weather forecasting,water conservancy facilities,anti-disaster capability,farmland reconstruction and others,abandon the traditional concept of regional balance,optimize resource allocation across the country,and use the national food reserve strategy to counter the risk of mass disaster.
