Abstract: Agriculture-related policies and villager autonomy are important issues of the agriculture,the countryside,and farmers domain in the context of rural revitalization. The study of the sample data of 3,844 farmers in 2017,using the statistic software SPSS,reveals the relationship between farmers’ satisfaction with agricultural policies and villager autonomy,analyses and discussesthe heterogeneity and the impact path. The research shows that satisfaction with agriculture-related policies can be attributed to the satisfaction with comprehensive agriculture-related policies and the satisfaction with indemnificatory agriculture-related policies;farmers are more satisfied with indemnificatory agriculture-related policies than comprehensive agriculture-related policies. There is a significantly positive relationship between villagers’satisfaction with agriculture-related policies and their participation in autonomy,that is,the higher the satisfaction with agriculture-related policies,the greater the possibility of participating in villager autonomy,which is especially true with the male,the elderly,and farmers of middle-income families. From the perspective of impact path,farmers’satisfaction with indemnificatory agriculturerelated policies,which improves their satisfaction with the government,enhances their participation in villager autonomy,while the performance of farmers’satisfaction with comprehensive agriculture-related policies is not obvious.In the future,from the perspective of rural revitalization strategy,governments of all levels should further improve relevant agricultural-related policies to better serve villagers and improve their grassroots governance capabilities and levels.

Key words: villager autonomy, satisfaction with agriculture-related policies, government satisfaction, political participation, village governance
