The invention provides a farmland soil heavy metal pollution restoration method through coupling activating and passivating, belonging to the technical field of environmental technology. According to a technical scheme adopted by the invention, the farmland soil heavy metal pollution restoration method comprises the following steps: a step I, planting heavy metal hyper-accumulation plant, applying a heavy metal activator into the soil, collecting plant which is enriched with heavy metals; a step II, applying a heavy metal passivator into the soil, planting and harvesting crops with heavy metal content reaching the safety standard. By two different coupling technologies in the two government stages, on one hand, the concentration of heavy metals in the farmland soil is lowered with high efficiency, on the other hand, the farmland can be put into safety production as early as possible, so that the heavy metal pollution farmland soil restoration efficiency is improved generally, and the method can be applied to farmland soil with large-area heavy metal pollution.
