All things will be prosperous if agriculture is prosperous. The whole country will be rich if farmers are rich. The whole country will be stable if the rural areas are stable.

So, it is necessary that the government has its own role to play to influence or control the development of modern agriculture on the basis of market adjustment.Integrating public administration and modern agriculture theory, making full use of different kinds of analysis methods (Comparative analysis, static analysis and dynamic analysis, historical analysis, theoretical analysis and empirical analysis method etc.), this thesis takes an interdisciplinary research, and reveals the necessity that government takes part in developing modern agriculture.
