Abstract: Lianping is a county located in the nine mountain area, northeast of Guangdong province. It is an upstream county of Xinfeng River and water supply resources of Dongjiang River, as well as an important ecological barrier of northern Guangdong province. Because of its mountain area location and backward economic development, Lianping was on the list of key counties for poverty alleviation and development of Guangdong province in 2015. In order to develop local agricultural economy on the basis of environment and water resources protection, the best and only way for them to choose is sustainable development. Ecological agriculture is an important part of sustainable development, and Lianping has significant advantages and unique conditions in ecological resources. In this study, the natural resources, social resources and agricultural production in recent years of Lianping county were analyzed in depth. The advantages vs disadvantages, opportunities vs challenges of the development of ecological agriculture in the county were clarified. In refer to some successful cases of ecological agricultural development at home and abroad, we have made an overall planning of ecological agricultural development for Lianping county and put forward some related policy recommendations. Our planning may provide some decision-making advices and strategic guidance for the ecological agricultural development of this county.
