Theoretical Research And Empirical Analysis On China's Agricultural Environmental Degradation

Agro-ecological environment is the foundation of agricultural production and rural economic development and the basic condition of human survival and development. As industrialization, urbanization and the process of industrialization of agriculture accelerated, the rural economy has made considerable progress. However, the agro-ecological environment is faced with increasing pressure:Farmland's declining environmental quality has seriously affected the sustainable development of agriculture. In fact, the quality of the agricultural eco-environment determines the coordination and comprehensiveness of rural development. Therefore, to resolve the problem of agro-ecological environment degradation is a top priority of agricultural development in our country. After carefully reading the literatures at home and abroad, I begin from giving a brief overview of agriculture and environmental degradation in China since the founding of the status quo, then apply the externality theory and new institutional economics theory to discuss the causes of China's.agricultural environmental degradation and apply the environment EKC theory to make an empirical analysis to emphasize the urgency and difficulty for our country to manage agri-environmental degradation. Finally, this paper shows the steps that we may take to solve the problem:firstly, change the socio-economic development goals gradually and put the protection of agro-ecological environment into the (?)ment's social development function; secondly, gradually reform the current system settings; finally, make a specification to regular the behavior of peasant households to reduce the externality.
