Abstract
Accurately identifying regional agricultural advantageous industries and optimizing their spatial layout are critical for advancing sustainable peri-urban land systems. However, existing studies often overlook public preferences and fail to integrate industrial development with agricultural multifunctionality. To address these gaps, this study introduced an integrated spatial optimization and zoning management framework that jointly considers industrial advantages and multifunctional performance. Using Hangzhou's peri-urban region as a case study, we combined multi-source geospatial data to identify agricultural advantageous industries based on both industrial competitiveness and public preference. Building on an evaluation of agricultural multifunctionality, we further explored spatial optimized pathways for agricultural advantageous industries that leverage synergies between industrial advantage and multifunctionality. Results indicated that between 2016 and 2024, townships dominated by cash crops expanded, and agricultural industries became more spatially clustered. The dominant agricultural function largely shifted from ecological to production-ecological advantage functions, and a pronounced synergy emerged between industrial competitiveness and cultural landscape function. The spatial optimization framework proposed by this study strengthened the synergy between advantageous industries and dominant functions, with the production efficiency scenario yielding the most effective layout. Three tailored agricultural development zones were delineated to support differentiated governance. This research advances methodologies for identifying agricultural advantageous industries and provides an effective pathway for integrative agricultural spatial planning, contributing to global efforts toward sustainable agricultural land system design.
期刊介绍：
Food and Energy Security seeks to publish high quality and high impact original research on agricultural crop and forest productivity to improve food and energy security. It actively seeks submissions from emerging countries with expanding agricultural research communities. Papers from China, other parts of Asia, India and South America are particularly welcome. The Editorial Board, headed by Editor-in-Chief Professor Martin Parry, is determined to make FES the leading publication in its sector and will be aiming for a top-ranking impact factor.
Primary research articles should report hypothesis driven investigations that provide new insights into mechanisms and processes that determine productivity and properties for exploitation. Review articles are welcome but they must be critical in approach and provide particularly novel and far reaching insights.
Food and Energy Security offers authors a forum for the discussion of the most important advances in this field and promotes an integrative approach of scientific disciplines. Papers must contribute substantially to the advancement of knowledge.
Examples of areas covered in Food and Energy Security include:
• Agronomy
• Biotechnological Approaches
• Breeding & Genetics
• Climate Change
• Quality and Composition
• Food Crops and Bioenergy Feedstocks
• Developmental, Physiology and Biochemistry
• Functional Genomics
• Molecular Biology
• Pest and Disease Management
• Post Harvest Biology
• Soil Science
• Systems Biology
