| Abstract: |
| Agricultural nonpoint source pollution is still the emphasis of, and difficult for, water pollution control and improvement of the aquatic environment. The feasibility of controlling agricultural nonpoint source pollution by developing organic agriculture was evaluated. Several countermeasures based on global experience and the development of organic agriculture in China, including drafting a national action plan of organic agriculture development, building a demonstration base, carrying out scientific research and technology promotion, encouraging public participation, and cultivating the domestic market of organic products, were suggested to promote organic agriculture as a strategy to control agricultural nonpoint source pollution. |
