Balancing agricultural income and environmental impact by adjusting the structure and scale of circular agriculture is becoming increasingly important. This paper built a multi-objective linear programming model based on greenhouse gas emission and agricultural product income and then optimized the structure and scale of circular agriculture using Beiqiu Farm as a case study. The optimization made full use of straw, manure and fodder, but also minimized soil nitrogen loss.

Nitrogen and salinity limit crop yield and net economic benefit in coastal saline-alkali soils. Binary quadric surface equations can be used to optimize wheat-corn cropping under saline and nitrogen conditions. Nitrogen addition based on environmental and farmers’ benefits was reduced by 40.4% and 33.9% comparing to traditional dose. Area-specific nitrogen application strategy is needed in coastal saline soils in China.
