Construction of the economic mechanism of cultivated land protection is an important way to protect land resources and prevent the loss of cultivated land. This paper bases on game theory and sustainable development theory, establishes a simple game model to analyze the behavior and income of local governments in the process of land protection, tries to explore the reason of the lack of economic mechanisms of cultivated land protection and then puts forward some policy recommendations. The purpose is to establish an effective economic mechanism of cultivated land protection between the central government and local governments to achieve effective protection of cultivated land resources.
