Research On The Agricultural Sustainable Development Evaluat In Aksu Area Of Xinjiang

The study focus on the agricultural sustainable development in Aksu area of Xinjiang. Aksu area is one of the biggest agricultural region in Xinjiang, which have vast potential for future development in agriculture industry such as cotton, grain, vegetable oil, animal husbandry, bioenergy and biological materials. However, there are problems in agricultural sustainable development in Aksu area because of conventional non-protective tillage, deterioration of ecological environment, and predatory economic development mode for a long time. Here, we analyzed and evaluated current status of agricultural sustainable development in Aksu area of Xinjiang, for the purpose of going a step further in understanding of the problem facing us, which will lay the foundation for and facilitate agriculture industry structure regulation and optimization and agricultural sustainable development strategy formulation and implementation.In the light of general theory and successful practice about agricultural sustainable development at home and abroad, a evaluation index system of agricultural sustainable development for Aksu area was established. By the use of comprehensive evaluating mathod in multiple level, the agricultural sustainable development level in Aksu area in2002-2008was estimated, which involved with ecological environment, economic and social development. And the factors restraining agricultural sustainable development in Aksu area was found out, and the countermeasure suggestion for promoting agricultural sustainable development in Aksu area was made here.There are10key factors restraining agricultural sustainable development in Aksu area, including1) seriously damaged cultivated land and sharply declined arable area;2) deteriorated water quality and severe water resource scarcity;3)more frequent natural disaster;4) serious environmental pollution with irrational external investment;5) shortage of fundamental facilities for agriculture in rural area;6) unreasonable agricultural industrial structure and low level of agriculture industry;7) low agriculture efficiency and small achievement transferring ratio;8) rural population continuous increase and low educational level in rural area;9) backward in agricultural equipment and slowing down in technological development;10) lagging behind for service system of agricultural socialization. To be directed against the restraining factors as mentioned above,10points of countermeasure suggestions and opinions was proposed as following:1) to reinforce utilization and protection of cultivated land;2) to properly protect and utilize water resource and to develop water-saving agriculture;3) to effectively control environment pollution and to strengthen agricultural ecologic environment protection;4) to concentrate on construction of agriculture infrastructural facilities5) to improve agriculture comprehensive quality;6) to speed up the development of secondary and tertiary industries and to optimize and upgrade the agriculture industry structure;7) to press ahead with the industrialization of agriculture;8) to effectively control growth of population and to greatly improve quality of population;9) to increase investment in agriculture science and technology and to improve agricultural scientific and technological ability for innovation; and10) to intensify transformation and application of scientific and technological achievement in agriculture.
