Abstract: The paper aims to provide a decision support for making long-term policy, based on the policy analysis framework from Liu Xielin, we analyzed the grass husbandry policies promulgated since 2000 and identified the gap of grass husbandry policy implementation. We found that: with implementation of grass husbandry policies, the ecological function of grassland was restored, but the economic function was neglected, there was a conflict between ecological protection and income increase of farmers and herdsmen, and there were still deficiencies in grassland management and major disaster prevention and so on. So, the policies should be implemented by coordinating the grass production function on the basis of grassland protection, and the reasonable utilization of grassland resources could be realized through the innovation of land management and grassland management patterns, strengthening the scientific research investment, improving the response capacity to major disaster emergencies, thus to promote the economic development in grassland area with recovering grassland ecology at the same time.
