Abstract: We analyzed the necessity of developing eco-agriculture in China based on rural revitalization strategy, rethought the progress of eco-agriculture and analyzed the pressures on the resources and environment and the imbalance between supply and demand in the course of agricultural development. The aim of the study was to provide reference for development of eco-agriculture in China. It was pointed out that developing eco-agriculture was a key measure for the realization of the strategic goal of rural revitalization. Also the objective requirements of changes in market demand and the inevitable choices of solving the pressure on the resources and environment were critical for agricultural production. Finally, there was a rational reference on experiences learned in sustainable agricultural development from developed countries. Based on the rethinking of eco-agriculture development in China, the development proposals of "seven batches" were put forward. These included 1) drawing up a batch of development plans, 2) issuing a batch of supporting policies, 3) cultivating a batch of ecological industries, 4) developing a batch of ecological farms, 5) strengthening a batch of ecological granges, 6) training a batch of ecological farmers, and 7) building a batch of information platforms. It was helpful to realize the prosperity of rural industry, livability of rural environment, and diversification and high quality of agricultural products. It also better met the demand of the people in urban and rural areas in terms of safety, quality, nutrition and health of agricultural products. Meanwhile, it enhanced ecological value of "keeping the eyes, washing the lungs and pleasing the heart" and of eco-agriculture. It also promoted agricultural efficiency, increased farmers' income and increased rural greening. It further provided reference for promoting sustainable development of agriculture in China and agricultural cleaner production in the world.
