Under such condition, speeding up the adjustment of agricultural structure, and transforming the resource consuming agricultural economy to value increasing and science innovation one is the inevitable. In order to realize the strategic task of sustainable development, grass and animal husbandry development should be reinforced by ecological engineering construction of forest, shrub and grass. Three leading industry of grasslivestock, fruit and vegetable should be increased. The industry base need to be strengthened and standardization production need to be implemented.
