Abstract

The Yunnan Plateau, rich in agricultural resources and featuring a favorable ecological environment, is pivotal for rural industrial revitalization and ecological progress. This study applies circular economy principles to systematically examine the theoretical characteristics and significance of Yunnan's plateau-specific eco-agricultural model. It focuses on key components like crop-livestock recycling systems, clean production, and deep processing of agricultural products to explore innovative approaches. The research also proposes a dynamic coordination mechanism between economic development and ecological carrying capacity. Findings reveal that extensive practices have degraded soil quality and caused non-point source pollution, threatening regional food safety. However, adopting ecological technologies, biological controls, and organic fertilizer substitution can significantly enhance agricultural ecological benefits and food safety. By analyzing Yunnan Plateau's innovative agricultural practices, the study identifies multi-dimensional development models, including integrated ecological technologies, cooperative joint operations, agritourism, and e-commerce empowerment. It also highlights integrating traditional farming wisdom with ethnic cultural elements. The study concludes that synergizing traditional knowledge with modern technology, enhancing ecological standards, strengthening digital traceability platforms, and developing region-specific sustainable strategies are critical pathways to achieving greater agricultural efficiency, ecological sustainability, and food safety.
