Abstract:

With continuous innovation and reform, China′s economy is catching up with the world at an unprecedented speed. In this process, as the traditional basic of China′s economy, agriculture is also experiencing an important historical transformation. In recent years, some new models of agricultural innovation and development have emerged in China, which must have a significant impact on China′s economy. Currently academic research on the innovation and development of the agricultural field is mainly spread in partial discussions of systems, institutions, frameworks, technology, society and organizations, form the reconstruction view, combination view, cooperative view, system view and historical view, and finally evolved the five main models of China′s agricultural innovation and development: (1) The agricultural innovation development model driven by structural change; (2) The agricultural innovation development model driven by technology; (3) Service-driven innovation development model; (4) The agricultural innovation development model driven by institution; and (5) The agricultural innovative development model jointly driven by organization, technology, service and institution.Since the subject of agricultural innovation and development is rather complicated and owns unique Chinese characteristic, the researches often have problems like the partial replacement of the whole, extending or shrinking and even misrepresenting of the concepts. Discussions being too broad, fragmented, and lacking of paradigm lead to widespread distortion and misunderstanding on the conceptual presentation and conclusion of this important academic topic, and sometimes there is difficult communication even in the same field of research. This is due to the lack of comprehensive, structural research. Theoretically, the agricultural innovation development model can be regarded as the theoretical schema and explanation of agricultural innovation development, which has typical overall and structural characteristics, and is worthy of comprehensive analysis and summary. Based on structuralism, this paper conducts an overall academic research on agricultural innovation development model, and concludes that China′s agricultural innovation development models can be divided into two categories:(1) Agricultural internal innovation generation model. It emphasizes that Chinese agriculture develops from internal spontaneous innovation to a large degree, and evolves in the mutual replacement of labor and capital, steadily forming an innovative development model that constantly suppresses diminishing capital returns. In this process, the ratio of agricultural production factors can be repaired and adjusted to achieve a relatively stable ratio. China′s agricultural innovation development model is different from other industries, which is mainly reflected in its strongest endogenous driving force for innovation development. (2) Industrial integration innovative development model. It emphasizes that China, like other developed countries, will inevitably embark on the road of integrated and innovative development in agricultural innovation, forming Chinese specialty and constructing a relatively intensive, organized, specialized and socialized integrated and innovative development structure.This article also discusses the influence factors of industrial convergence innovation development pattern. Since in the new era, the integrated innovation development model may become the mainstream and future trend of China′s agricultural innovation development model, this model, influenced by both external factors and control variables during the evolution process, will develop into China′s unique innovation development model. Finally, when refers to the research topic, this article also contributes a lot to the future research.
