Abstract

Food quality and safety has become the key problem that China faces today. As a new type of urban agricultural development model which combines organic food production with leisure tourism, the organic food leisure park performs multiple functions, including production, leisure, ecological and social. As the important measure to promote food quality and safety, organic food leisure park has vast future development potential. Based on the "seed to feed idea" of RUAF Foundation, this work takes the construction of organic food leisure park in Qinyang City, Henan Province, China as an example. The discussion is made in three aspects: environmental quality, function layout and the ecological cycle model. The results show that the combination of organic food production and leisure sightseeing effectively improves the comprehensive benefits of organic agriculture.
