| Under the background of Chinese food security issue is more prominent andagricultural production is inefficient, in the Seventeen Plenary Session the Chinesegovernment put forward the idea of building a resource conserving and environment-friendly agriculture which is referred to as Two-Oriented Agriculture. As a neweconomic form, it is not only an inevitable way to develop the new type of agriculture,but also an effective method to achieve agriculture sustainable development.In order to make contribution to the theoretical studies of Two-OrientedAgriculture, this paper chooses Regional Two-Oriented Agricultural Development ofChina as the topic; the research ideas and methods of it are formed on the studies ofdomestic and foreign research works. Because Two-Oriented Agriculture is a highlysummary of the main ideas of other three agricultural development models, so thispaper introduces the other three theories firstly, then systematically elaborates theconnotations and features of Two-Oriented Agriculture, compares it with the otherthree agricultural development models. After that, the paper constructs the evaluationindex system of Two-Oriented Agriculture in four aspects, which are rural communitydevelopment, rural economic development, resource conservation and environmentprotection, then filter the index system by Variation Coefficient and ConditionalCovariance. At last, the paper introduces the PLS path model to evaluate the regionalTwo-Oriented Agricultural development after analyzing several other evaluationmethods’ deficiencies.According to the empirical results, in addition to Beijing, the top10developmentof Two-Oriented Agriculture in2011are all the coastal provinces, the northern andcentral China were followed. Several provinces in the northeast, northwest orsouthwest of china were relatively backward. The ranked last regions are theYunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Qinghai and Tibet. The developments of different areas arenot same, so the governments must have a well known about the actual situation ofeach region when they make agricultural policies. |
