The amount of farmland in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region decreased from 1990 to 2015, with more in the south than the north. Most farmland in Beijing was turned into buildings due to city growth. The economy and population of counties affected farmland changes, while location and natural features influenced the pattern of farmland. Suggestions include improving laws, consolidating land, and upgrading agriculture to support rural development and protect farmland in the region.
