Abstract: Under the background of high-quality development, the present study established an integrated evaluation system for sustainable development level of agriculture, and the development level in Zhejiang Province and different regions was evaluated. The established evaluation system had four dimensions, namely, sustainability of agricultural production, sustainability of economic development, sustainability of resources and environment, and sustainability of local population. By adopting grey correlation analysis and macro-level data, the sustainable development level of agriculture in Zhejiang Province between 2013 and 2017 was evaluated, and the sustainable development level of agriculture in counties with different terrain (including mountainous, semi-mountainous, plains and islands) in 2017 was compared. It was shown that in 2013-2017, Zhejiang has made continuous progress in the sustainable development level of agriculture. But, there were disparities among counties with different terrain. Counties with semi-mountainous and plains terrain exhibited the highest development level. While the sustainable development level of agriculture in countries with mountainous terrain was the lowest. Therefore, the key to promote sustainable development level of agriculture in Zhejiang Province was to build a high-level agricultural system, promote high-level green production, create a high-level industrial platform and develop a high-level agricultural brand.

Key words: sustainable development level of agriculture, high-quality development, grey correlation analysis, Zhejiang Province
