Abstract

The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau region is known as the “Third Pole of the Earth”, “Water Tower of Asia” and “Roof of the World”, and is one of the important ecological security barriers in China. However, the global warming, rapid development of second and tertiary industries as well as backward agriculture production mode have led to the deterioration of the ecological environment and the reduction of biodiversity in the region, which will impose serious constraints on the sustainable development of its agriculture. In recent years, the concepts of low-carbon agriculture and circular agriculture have gradually emerged to provide new direction guidelines for the modernization of traditional agriculture. This paper summarizes the rise and development of low-carbon agriculture and recycling agriculture, and complements the advantages of both to form low-carbon and recycling agriculture, which is proved to be crucial for sustainable development of the plateau. Through the SWOT analysis of agricultural development status in the Tibetan Plateau, the objective of the study is to explore the future development mode of low-carbon and recycling agriculture in the Tibetan Plateau region, so as to promote the green and sustainable development of agriculture in the region. The results of the study revealed that the establishment and development of low carbon circular agriculture can be realized through macroeconomic policy guidance, introduction of technologies, human resources and capital, promotion of energy-efficient and low-carbon farming and grazing techniques, and establishment of a benefit-oriented mechanism.
