Abstract: With the increase of the population and agro- chemicals’input, agricultural environmental protection has received growing attention in the world, the establishment of agricultural environment evaluation methods has become an important tool to assess agricultural environment change. To better establish China’s agricultural environment evaluation method system for measuring the changes of agricultural environment at different regional scales, we compared the research results of agricultural environment evaluation between China and the EU from the aspects of criteria selection, theory of evaluation index and index system composition, and evaluation models. The results show that: China has made great achievements in the research of agricultural environment evaluation, but still needs to go ahead in the fields of setting unified national principles and indicators for the selection of agricultural environment indexes, establishing agricultural environmental database, and constructing agricultural environmental index assessment model. Therefore, indepth scientific research should be carried out to provide services for evaluating the agricultural environment quality change and the application effects of agricultural environmental policies in China.
