RESEARCH HOTSPOTS AND TRENDS OF AGRICULTURE ECO-EFFICIENCY IN CHINA
Agricultural eco-efficiency is one of the characteristic indicators for the green development of the agriculture,which comprehensively considers the economic returns and environmental benefits.By sorting out the research hotspots and trends of agricultural eco-efficiency in China,this paper provides reference for the research of eco-efficiency and sustainable development of agriculture.Based on the CNKI database,this paper collected a total of 433 relevant literatures in the field of agricultural eco-efficiency in China from 1981 to 2022,and conducted the research from the perspectives of publications,authors,institutions,funds and keywords.This paper also drew visualizing maps through the visualization software CiteSpace to analyze the author co-occurrence,the keyword co-occurrence,the keyword clustering and others aspects.The results were showed as follows.The number of publications in the research field of agricultural eco-efficiency had increased since 2011,and the research hotspots changed from the concept of agricultural environment to measuring methods and influencing factors,and the basic theory,evaluation and efficiency application together constituted the research themes.However,the current researches had the following issues.There was still less cooperation among scholars and relatively independent research.The research objects were mostly at the national or provincial level,and the studies on the county and township level needed to be deepened.The composite model was rarely used in the evaluation of agricultural eco-efficiency and the research topics needed to be innovated.Therefore,under the double pressure of resources and environment,the research of agricultural eco-efficiency becomes an important part of the green development of modern agriculture.
