China's energy consumption for agricultural production has relied on petroleum and coal with relatively low input from power other types of a long time.Projections indicate that as existing development trend leads to substantial growth demand production,such term irrational pattern would unlikely be able meet the needs country's developing sector.As such,it is recommended sector should follow national strategy guideline by gradually increasing use wind power,solar energy,biomass new sources while advancing technological innovations traditional sources.Meanwhile,as structure three major sources(i.e.petroleum,coal,and power)is optimized,development application biomass agriculture raw materials alternative enhanced.Lastly,the energy,and hydropower in increased areas where appropriate.
