“…Therefore, ecological intensification has gradually evolved from plot scale at which focuses on crop yields and agronomic methods to a multidisciplinary approach to the concept of integrated ecosystem service or biodiversity [10]. Although ecological intensification tends to be more diversified in the course of development, the importance of integrating socio-economic improvement with environmental sustainability is highlighted under the framework of agricultural sustainable intensification, which includes the goal of ecological intensification [34,35].…”

“…For example, Woelcke's (2010) research in eastern Uganda showed that it was critical to motivate smallholders to move towards sustainable crop production by overcoming information gaps, increasing crop output prices, increasing market access to information and reducing transportation costs [85]. Cortne et al (2019) research on the crop-livestock integrated system in the Brazilian Amazon pastures showed that market access, product prices, pasture facilities, credit access and other factors severely restrict farmers' adoption of the system [34]. The agricultural policies of East African countries and Uganda's national development plan indicated that the imperfect infrastructure such as road networks limited agricultural participants' implementation of sustainable crop intensification [76].…”

At present, research on sustainable intensification covers farmers [28][29][30][31], farms [32], agricultural landscapes [33], integrated crop-livestock systems [34], ecosystem services [35,36]. However, systematic review and summary concerning agricultural sustainable intensification still remains blank in the current domestic and international research.…”

In recent years, as a way to achieve higher agricultural output while reducing the negative impact of agricultural production on the environment, agricultural sustainable intensification has attracted worldwide attention. Under the framework of "connotation definition-measuring method-influencing factor-implementation path", this paper systematically sorts out the main research results in the field of agricultural sustainable intensification. The results show that: (1) The connotation of agricultural sustainable intensification has not been clearly defined. It is widely believed that sustainable intensification has the characteristics of increasing production and reducing environmental damage, and is widely used in agricultural, biological and environmental sciences;(2) The measurement methods and indicators of agricultural sustainable intensification are diverse, and the measurement cases are mainly distributed in Europe, Asia, Africa and America; (3) The influencing factors of agricultural sustainable intensification can be roughly divided into four aspects: socio-economic factors, farmers' own characteristics and natural factors, among which population pressure is the potential driving force for agricultural sustainable intensification; (4) The most obvious feature of agricultural sustainable intensification is the reduction of the yield gap. The strategy of implementing agricultural sustainable intensification can be attributed to the effective use of inputs and the adoption of sustainable practices and technologies. Therefore, the implementation path can be summarized as enhancing the effectiveness of external inputs to the agricultural system and optimizing the practice and technology mix within the crop production system. Finally, this paper concludes that research on connotation definition, influencing mechanism, different regional models, incentive mechanism for farmers, impact evaluation and system design of agricultural sustainable intensification should be strengthened in future.

Under the climate change aggravating the issues of energy security and food shortage, global agriculture suffers from great pressure, and how to promote sustainable agriculture has become one of the hot issues of concern in academia. This paper focuses on China, where efforts are being made to develop sustainable agriculture, and takes the western part of Shandong Province as the target of study. Based on the identification of factors that affect the promotion of the local circular agriculture implementation, AMOS was applied to construct and test the structural equation model and to explore the interaction mechanism between each variable. The study breaks through the traditional modes of data collection and is based on the actual farming conditions of the farmers currently, choosing to obtain data by means of questionnaires and field surveys. The 24 selected factors were analyzed by SPSS and AMOS software, and the total model weight of each factor were calculated separately. The top five key factors affecting the advancement of the model, namely government policy encouragement, preferential agricultural loans support, participation of specialized agricultural organizations, estimated revenue of the mode and farmers' awareness of environmental protection, are obtained with weight of 6.08%, 5.60%, 5.59%, 5.26% and 5.09%, respectively. Combined with data to focus on analysis, this paper puts forward some relevant countermeasures and suggestions to promote the integrated planting and breeding mode in accordance with local conditions, which can provide beneficial reference for government departments to make relevant policies.analysis of the key paths, field surveys, policy suggestions, structural equation model, the integrated planting and breeding mode | INTRODUCTIONFacing the increasingly serious problems of population growth, energy crisis and climate change, global agricultural development is greatly challenged. In total, agricultural land covers about 1/3 of the earth's land and 26% of the total global greenhouse gas emissions come from agricultural production activities (IPCC, 2019;Poore & Nemecek, 2018). From a mode point of view, the development of
