摘要: Serious resource depletion has made sustainable agriculture an important and pressing issue for scientists, policy makers, stakeholders worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Researchers have focused on methods to assess correctly, introduce sound solutions sustainability, but reached no agreement. In this paper, we the theoretical framework of agro-ecosystem health model, a new holistic approach, apply it at regional scale using four aspects (4S): structure, stable function, safe service, development. We examine how 12 indicators assessment (AHA) were selected three dimensions based framework. AHA, used amoeba approach high-yield Huantai County, Shandong Province, China. The results indicate that model ecosystem can reflect complex ecological, economic, human conditions evaluate ...
