The Realistic Dilemma and Pathways for the Preservation and Development of Agricultural Heritage Systems in the Context of Comprehensive Rural Revitalization
As living carriers of traditional farming civilization,Agricultural Heritage Systems (AHS)provide systemic pathways to empower comprehensive rural revitalization. Grounded on the value network theory,AHS embodies an integrated functional value system encompassing ecological,cultural,economic,social,and educational dimensions,while comprehensive rural revitalization aims to achieve synergistic goals across five domains:ecology,culture,industry,organization,and talent.The two are deeply interlinked through a value network mechanism integrating traditional wisdom, modern technology, and policy instruments. Nevertheless,within the current context of comprehensive rural revitalization,AHS conservation and development still face multiple practical dilemmas including cognitive biases,homogenization of industrial forms,imbalancein factor allocation,and the disconnection of key stakeholder. To address these challenges,it is essential to strengthen the ecological foundation that integrates traditional ecological techniques with modern green technologies, activate cultural value of living agricultural heritage via innovative cultural-tourism integration, stimulate industrial momentum by orchestrating heritage resource utilization and the synergistic development of primary, secondary, and tertiary industries, optimize governance mechanisms through self-organization and Party-led collaborative governance, and reinforce talent support by sustaining traditional knowledge systems while leveraging modern educational science and technology. Ultimately,by promoting multi-dimensional coordination and systemic integration,this research constructs a practical paradigm for AHS consevation and development to advance the goals of comprehensive rural revitalization.
