生态农业——中药农业的必由之路

Ecological agriculture: future of agriculture for Chinese material medica

作为世所公认的当代最先进的农业模式,中药生态农业在中药农业这一领域全面推行是需要商榷的。该文首先分析了生态农业和有机农业的区别和联系,指出生态农业并非不需要常规农业的投入。然后介绍了世界各国生态农业发展现状,分析了生态农业与化学农业的区别及其特点,针对化学农业面临的巨大挑战,指出生态农业必将替代化学农业。最后,结合我国农业生产现状和问题,从中药材具有独特的品质特征,中药农业生产中独特的生境要求,以及中药农业具有独特的应用及市场特性三个方面,分析了中药生态农业的独特优势,提出生态农业是中药农业的必由之路。

The ecological agriculture of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） is generally acknowledged as the most advanced agricultural mode. However,it’ s still a doubt whether ecological agriculture could be widely applied in TCM agriculture. In this study,we first analyze both the differences and relationships between ecological and organic agriculture,which suggesting that ecological agriculture does not need all the inputs as traditional agriculture. After introducing the situation of ecological agriculture from all across the world,we analyze the differences and characteristics between ecological and chemical agricultures. Considered with the big challenge caused by chemical agriculture,we pointed out that ecological agriculture could definitely replace chemical agriculture. Last but not the least,combined with the situation and problems of Chinese agriculture,we analyze the distinctive advantages of TCM ecological agriculture from 3 aspects as its unique quality characteristics,its unique habitat requirements in production and its unique application and market characteristics,respectively. In conclusion,ecological agriculture is the straight way of TCM agriculture.
