Stereoscopic Agriculture and Its Impacts on Land Use Efficiency in China: A Case Study of Inner Mongolia
Publication: ICCREM 2016: BIM Application and Off-Site Construction
ABSTRACT
Stereoscopic agriculture is an old and effective mode of production in China, but it stagnates now. This paper analyzes an innovative pattern of stereoscopic agriculture and its advantages on enhancing land use efficiency, taking Inner Mongolia as an example. With results from analysis on its development and case study, we conclude that stereoscopic agriculture, in its nature, is a complex system with a series of innovations. From historical perspective, to enhance land use efficiency in a sustainable way, suitable explanation on stereoscopic agriculture is needed, while case study shows its advantages of diversification on income, capital, and risk to enhance efficiency in both economic and sustainable way.
