Reconstructing and upgrading of Chinese eco-agriculture oriented to circular economy

Circular economy plays a key role on the sustainable development and drows more and more attention from the world recent years. Among the world, China is a country with the largest population and a very high proportion of agriculture in its national economy, so it is very urgent and necessary to develop circular economy in agriculture. There are steady bases for the development of agricultural circular economy in China. Agricultural circular economy involves a variety of aspects including the coupling and reusing of materials and energies during the farming process between different agricultural departments, between agriculture and industry, and between rural and urban areas. Chinese ecological agriculture is a mode to achieve agricultural circular economy. However, ecological agriculture is faced with many challenges in the development of modern economy in China, so it should be oriented and reconstructed to meet the requirement of the modern industrialization, standardization, security and multi-function development. Moreover, a series of countermeasures should be taken to ensure the development of agricultural circular economy, including the establishment of laws and regulations related to circular economy, the industrialization of eco-agriculture, the pollution-free treatment and utilization of agricultural and industrial wastes and the construction of eco-agriculture park.
