The general strategic goal has been aimed at stabilizing food production--expanding forage production-improving animal production--increasing profits.The land resources has been exploited reasonably to establish cultivated pasture. Distribution of food grain, forage and cash crop’s has been regulated, and the production techniques have been improved. Resulted in the enhancement of livestocks, poultries and fish production along with the steadily increase of food product ion. New systems of crop-animal-fish integration and harmonized developing of cropping, animal husbandry and farm products processing has been initially established.Hence.the utilization rate of natural and labor resources were increased and the functions of the agroecosystems were improved as well.
