- Abstract:
-
In order to improve agriculture productivity, promote agro-ecosystem sustainable development in Xiangtan, the input-output condition, work efficiency, and environmental load of the agro-ecosystem in Xiangtan were systematically assessed based on the theory and method of energy analysis from 2000 to 2008. The results showed that the renewable organic energy dominated over the majority of energy input in Xiangtan, the agro-ecolomic system in Xiangtan still stayed in the period shifting from traditional to modern agriculture, proportion dropped from 0.58 in 2000 to 0.49 in 2008, which mainly depended on man power. The majority of energy output was forestry, while crop cultivation and fishery had a relatively low percentage, especially the fishery, which didn’t reach to 0.01%. Xiangtan had a low environment load ratio and the resources were not fully developed, thus the agroecosystem had a large development potential; the energy-based sustainable index of agroecosystem in Xiangtan was in ascendant trend, the range varied from 0.03 to 0.11, which showed that the agroecosystem belonged to consumer economic system. To promote the virtuous cycle of agro-economic system in Xiangtan, we should gradually adjust the investment proportion of input and output energy.
