Abstract

Based on statistic analysis and cluster analysis, this paper studied on the eco-farming models and their differentiations of 15 counties in Northwest China which could supply six eco-farming type construction priorities in the region, as well as the principles of eco-farming construction. From the result it could provide useful methods and ideas of eco-farming construction in the region. Moreover, the analysis of variance was done to verify the results from cluster analysis.
