Abstract: In the paper, we summarize the basic characteristics of the development in China's eco-agriculture, and the significance of establishing a standards system. Based on the review and introduction of basic structures and development of China's agro-standards system as well as international standards system for organic agriculture or organic products, differences between China's eco-agriculture and that of the international community are determined. Concurrently, the principles on which China's eco-agriculture standards system is built are discussed. Finally, the paper advances the framework of the standards system forChinas eco-agriculture, with core technology standards for a layered eco-agricultural pattern like the basic layer, common layer, character layer and material layer.
