Henan is a major agricultural provinces, as well as major grain-producing provinces. As the heart of the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration, Henan urbanization coming with a new look to develop rapidly. However, at the same time, the level of agricultural modernization in Henan Province is low, agricultural labor productivity is not high. Therefore, let urbanization in Henan Province, which is the most populated province and a national important grain production base, develop without compromising the environment, farmland and agriculture at the expense, but in the sustainable pattern of citizenization and complementary with agricultural modernization is particularly important.In this paper, the use of regional economics, industrial economics, development economics, institutional economics and economic geography and other basic theory, the impact of urbanization on the modernization of agriculture as the backbone of the wording, based on rational thinking of how urbanization driven by the development of modern agriculture, using agricultural modernization three determinants, which are technological progress, industrial structure and institutional change, to study the adaptive mechanism of urbanization and agricultural modernization.Through case studies of Henan Province, the paper considers the of urbanization does influence the process of agricultural modernization by aspects of factor mobility, technological progress, industrial transformation and institutional change.In terms of factor mobility, carrying capacity of the urban economy and population restrict the population of agricultural who can be really Citizenship; Urban space layout and feeding intensity determines the cost of the population transfer; Urban industrial structure and layout of the city determines how much and the quality of work required for the degree of labor. Institutional factors urban household registration system, the level of social security coverage of migrant workers, such as restricting the recognition of identity; Urban household registration system, institutional factors such as the level of social security coverage restricts the identity of migrant workers; technological advances in agriculture, urban industrialization level, public education, service and convenience determines the innovation and dissemination of agricultural technology; In the aspect of agricultural system changes, the city offers the breadth of the market and consumption capacity which determine the survival of the enterprise production patterns. On the one hand, the development of modern agriculture relies on market access to elements of resources. China’s current agricultural labor force in general cultural level is low, the modern understanding of the concept and production of lifestyle has certain limitations. Lack of human capital in agriculture, making it difficult to complete the production of agricultural technology and innovation, the upgrading process of industrial structure is slow. Always focused on meeting the needs of food crops to survive on their own, while ignoring the development of agricultural products with more cost-effective, only to break the traditional closed production environment, market-based, increased factor mobility and between cities in order from fundamentally driven agricultural development, reached the world advanced level, to achieve agricultural modernization. On the other hand, to consider the impact of urbanization on agricultural development, focusing on agriculture-led urban development and radiation effects, and enhance agricultural productivity, liberation and transferred from the limited land, the city accepted absorb new workers, the urban population can increase rapidly and the scale can be expanded rapidly, at the same time it can also accelerate the modernization of agriculture, which can support urban development effectively.It should be noted that many factors affect the modernization of agriculture, however, the article which is limited by the space can just study from the view of urbanization. Therefore, the article is inevitably not comprehensive enough. And this article only studied the situation in Henan Province, the selected study area range is not wide enough, and the contrast with surrounding provinces as well as the country is relatively less that may make the analysis of effect which urbanization impact on agricultural modernization is not comprehensive enough. Furthermore, as some data whose time is too long to get, makes it difficult to avoid missing data, to some extent, it affected the accuracy of the study.
