The city of Dongying, in the Yellow River Delta, in Shandong province, is showing its ability to develop eco-agricultural industries.

"Agriculture in Dongying needs to adhere to a highly efficient, ecologically sound development model. And it wants to build a State-level demonstration area before 2020," said Zhang Jianhua, Dongying's mayor.

To reach this goal, it is working in six agricultural areas: ecologically sound fisheries, animal husbandry, forestation, vegetables, fresh flowers, and leisure and sightseeing tours of farming sites.
