Agriculture, crucial to a region's culture and history, plays a very important role in that region's development. Agriculture is the department that can convert natural material and energy into products that a human being needs. Landscape Architecture is related to human and natural environment. To a certain extent, they both transform nature on purpose, so that they are inextricably connected. This paper selects agriculture-related elements which are closely related to Landscape Architecture as the object of study, they are agricultural landscape, agricultural engineering project, agricultural tourism and agriculture heritage. The paper studies the relation between agriculture-related elements and Landscape Architecture based on analysis of large amounts of data and examination of practices.Firstly, The paper studies on the relation between agriculture landscape and historical gardens of both East and West chronologically. The paper considered that the prototype of garden were from agricultural landscape. Along with development, affected by various factors, the proportion of agricultural landscape in the Chinese classical gardens become smaller and smaller, and the impact of agricultural landscape turned to be very limited. By contrast, Western historical garden has been influenced by agricultural landscape consistently, which are believed to be beautiful and practical at the same time. Meanwhile, this paper introduce the influence of agricultural landscape on design concept and design methods, with the conclusion that Modern Landscape Architecture design should learn from agricultural landscapes.Secondly, this paper considered that agricultural engineering project and landscape architecture can be integrated with each other by analysis of historical references precedences. Agricultural projects built with the idea of landscape architecture can achieve multiple benefits.Thirdly, this paper studies Landscape Architecture's role in agriculture tourism. Agriculture tourism is a new industry which is relates to agriculture and tourism. Landscape Architecture plays an important role in different types of agriculture tourism. This paper also includes proposals for different types of agriculture tourism which were verified in practice projects.Finally, this paper analyzes domestic and international cases, and discusses the role of Landscape Architecture in the preservation and development of agricultural heritage. This paper presents protection principles for different types of agricultural heritage in order to achieve comprehensive benefits.
