Abstract:
Given the essence of agro-recycling economy, this paper established an integrated index system for evaluating the development level of agro-recycling economy, where 18 exercisable indexes were grouped into four classification(development of economy and society,resource reduction input, resource recycling and reuse, and resource and environment safety). Using Hebei Province as a case study, the development of agro-recycling economy was analyzed for the period 1991~2005. The results indicate a comprehensive improvement in agro-recycling economy in Hebei Province, mainly facilitated by agricultural output promotion. However, agricultural input level is the biggest obstacle for the development of agro-recycling economy in Hebei Province. The level of agricultural resource recycling and reuse is lagging compared with agricultural resource and environmental safety.
