Research Abstract |
This study comprehensively investigates how agricultural technologies relevant to agriculture industry and environmental issues contribute to the sustainable rural development. A series of mathematical approaches including a dynamic general equilibrium model is applied to examine the potential of climate change, water environmental preservation and renewable energy for the regional self-sustaining development. In addition, an empirical study of depressed rural industry is performed to elucidate its multiple causes and their linkage; the natural resource management subject to ecosystems, technological change for the harvests and the circular flow of the regional economy.
