——The road of agricultural development under the transformation of ecological civilization
Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the country's development strategy has undergone major adjustments, from the past extensive and blind pursuit of large-scale, high energy consumption, high pollution development mode to ecological civilization transformation, has been included in the overall layout of the national top-level design. Agriculture, as an important cornerstone of the country's economic development, is also undergoing profound changes.
Looking back at history, China's traditional agriculture, which has been resource-saving and eco-friendly for thousands of years, has been sustainably maintained for more than 4,000 years. In the history of human civilization for more than 10,000 years, agriculture has never been an "industry", but a survival culture that organically combines human beings and the natural world. However, since the 17th century, under the influence of the vigorous industrial revolution dominated by the Western world, cities have gradually risen, the countryside has withered, and people have eaten more and more diversely, but the attention to agriculture on which they depend for their survival has declined, and agriculture and rural areas have become more and more fragmented. The world once believed that only by learning from the United States and adopting large-scale and intensive farm operations, coupled with the transformation of various industrial and chemical technologies, was the correct direction for agricultural development. But in recent years, serious environmental pollution problems and heart-wrenching food safety problems have followed, and extreme bad weather has been visiting, and people have begun to think: Is this what we want? Is this what we want to leave to future generations?
In the context of the transformation of ecological civilization in the 21st century, how can China's agricultural development be transformed from the old model of traditional agriculture in the past with industrialization to a new model of sustainable development? This is exactly the question that Professor Wen Tiejun's team has worked hard to answer in the practice of agricultural ecology and socialization for 20 years.
Recently, the three-year-long research results of Professor Wen Tiejun's team , "From Agriculture 1.0 to Agriculture 4.0: Ecological Transformation and Agricultural Sustainability" were officially published and issued, which began with the Zhu Kezhen hypothesis that the development of human civilization is affected by climate change as the main content, taking the latest archaeological discoveries of "Zhejiang people" as the lead, from a grand historical and geographical perspective, the far-reaching impact of climate change and differences in the geographical environment of various continents on the origin of agricultural diversity was systematically sorted out. The pattern of the world's agricultural development model in modern times is explained in detail, and the rich experience of sustainable agricultural development at home and abroad is introduced from the perspective of international comparison.
Professor Wen Tiejun has repeatedly quoted Einstein's famous words to remind people: "It is impossible for human beings to solve problems by creating problems." "When agriculture is industrialized, there are many problems, we are deeply trapped in the dilemma of development, we must have innovative ideas to solve the problem." Ecology is the way out of human civilization, and it is also the core essence of agriculture to get out of the predicament and enter sustainable development. John Cobb Jr., an academician of the National Academy of Humanities and Sciences and an ecological economist, once pointed out that "China has brought a light of hope to the construction of global ecological civilization." It is hoped that the publication of this book can provide spiritual impetus and ideological guidance for China to implement the strategy of ecological civilization and promote the transformation of agricultural ecology to a sustainable path under the guidance of the Two Mountains Thought.
Synopsis
The rapid development of industrial civilization has brought about a serious ecological crisis and agricultural dilemma, where is the way out for agricultural difficulties and human civilization? The answer is: the transformation of industrial civilization to ecological civilization, and the return of industrial agriculture to sustainable agriculture. The first chapter of this book takes the Zhu Kezhen hypothesis that the development of human civilization is greatly affected by climate change as a wedge, discusses the innate differences and evolution of human agricultural civilization due to the constraints of geographical climate and nature, and expounds the nature of agriculture and the close relationship between agriculture and ecology. The second chapter discusses that the subject-guest dichotomy is the epistemological root of the global ecological crisis, and summarizes the theoretical resources of agricultural sustainability that are different from "Western-centrism" and "the unity of nature and man" in the East. The third chapter deals with the "Anglo-Saxon model" of large-scale farm agriculture in colonial countries, the "Rhein model" of small farm farming in european metropolises, and the "East Asian model" of indigenous agriculture that has not been thoroughly colonized by the West. Chapter 4 sorts out the sustainable agriculture in China that has lasted for thousands of years, facing crises due to the industrialization of the country and the industrialization of local governments and the institutional transformation of globalization, as well as the technical transformation of biology, chemistry and mechanization, and proposes the return of sustainable development of China's agriculture. The fifth chapter summarizes the path of sustainable rural development achieved by the value of rural ecological resources in Lishui, Ningxia, Chengkou, Chongqing, and Luodian in Guizhou. Chapter VI introduces the domestic and international experiences of agricultural sustainability and points out the way forward for sustainable agricultural development through international comparative perspective research.

Book Highlights
The countryside carries the genes of Chinese civilization and hides the driving force of the evolution of Chinese civilization. From the countryside, to the epistemological root judgment of the global ecological crisis, to the construction of agricultural sustainable theoretical resources of "Western centrism" and the unity of heaven and man in the East, to the induction of the model difference of the world's agriculture "three points of the world" from the international comparative vision, to the analysis of China's agricultural problems and the summary of the practice of value of rural ecological resources in the local area, an exploratory study of ecological civilization and agricultural sustainability from theory and practice has been conducted.
1. From the perspective of the impact of climate and geographical constraints on the evolution of human civilization history, sort out the major issues of China's leading ecological transformation and its major relevance to the sustainable development of agriculture, so that readers can understand the importance of the great rejuvenation of the excellent civilization of the Chinese nation.
2. Summarize the pattern of "three divisions of the world" of world agriculture from the perspective of international comparative research and historical dimensions, and enrich the construction of "Chinese discourse" through the research of the basic theory of "de-Western centrism".
