生物多样性视野中的中国传统农业科技

生物多样性是现代科学概念,它是在人类活动的深度和广度不断拓展、自然界的生物种类日益减少、大量珍贵种质资源迅速消亡、进而引发一系列生态危机的背景下产生的。它产生和存在的现实基础是生物的差异性、联系性和发展性。在此视角的观瞻下,中国古代的农业科技正是农业生物多样性原理的自觉践行:轮作复种、间作套种事实上是农业系统生物多样性的主动运用;生物防病、农业治虫恰恰是农业生物物种多样性的巧妙运用;农牧结合、多种经营则是农业生态多样性的自觉运用。

On Biological diversity in the field of traditional Chinese Agricultural Science and Technology

Biodiversity is the concept of modern science,which arises in the context that human activities continue to expand deeply and widely,the biological species in nature gradually decline,and a large number of valuable germplasm resources die out,triggering a series of ecological crisis.Also,the existence of biodiversity is based on biological differences,linkages and development.From the perspective of biodiversity,China’s agricultural science and technology in ancient times has been consciously practiced according to the principles of agricultural biodiversity,for example,rotation cropping and intercropping farming system actually the active use of biological diversity;biological disease prevention and agricultural pest control cleverly employ the balanced system of various agricultural species;livestock integration and diversification is the conscious use of agro-ecological diversity.
