Introduction means to give a vacationer additional loosening up exer-

With the development of the city, the fringe areas of the
city are also included in the scope of urban construction.
The agricultural industry, which uses natural environ-
mental resources as the main substrate, is gradually
approaching and integrating with the secondary and
tertiary industries as agricultural land is shrinking day
by day, so as to improve production efficiency and
promote industrial income. Urban leisure agriculture
came into being under this background. Relying on
the city is the most important feature of urban leisure
agriculture in the context of urban-rural integration.
Affected by this development background, its distri-
bution is often concentrated on the urban fringe, rural
area or the boundary between the city and the rural
area. From the perspective of social development and
people’s high-pressure living conditions, the birth of
urban leisure agriculture that serves the city is inevitable.
The urban leisure agricultural park develops and pro-
duces its own industry through the rational use of the
technology of urban development, the concentrated
talents in the city, the vast market of the metropolitan
area and the abundant capital (Horst et al. 2017).
One among the area of agricultural travel industries
are said to be as leisure agriculture. The substance
cises. Since the created leisure farms can able to give
greater business, this exploration breaks down the
advancement procedures of leisure agriculture in Longj-
ing tea garden. The characteristics of urban leisure agri-
culture is the term ‘urban’ agriculture, as utilised here,
alludes to little regions (for instance empty plots,
gardens, overhangs, borderlines, and holders) inside
the city for developing harvests as well as raising little
animals else milk cows for own-utilization or else deal
in area markets. Leisure agricultural is one of the creat-
ing bearings for current travel industries as it incorpor-
ates the qualities of present day the travel industry,
experience economy, agrarian items, ranch the board,
and so forth. As of late, the leisure agriculture has
been grown quickly, particularly in the country regions.
It turns into the elective touring places for the sightseers
who need to loosen up themselves from the hard and
genuine works. The leisure horticulture consistently
works with rustic the travel industry. Both are the
wonder of the travel industry that joins the cultivating
society along with the public culture into the customary
vacationer culture.
With the deepening of ecological concepts and
people’s demand for organic food, ecological farms
have gradually entered the field of vision of Chinese

residents. Its appearance satisfies people’s desire to
evoke the memories of the countryside in the city and
to get close to the land and educate their children
through agricultural labour. At the same time, people
hope that ecological farms not only provide places for
participation and play in the city, but also shoulder the
task of continuously providing food for the city, optimis-
ing the social structure and creating a better lifestyle. In
addition, small areas of regular wheat fields or simple
street vegetable gardens are increasingly unable to
satisfy people’s feelings of experiencing the countryside,
and people are currently demanding the emergence of
more diverse, larger and more participatory ecological
farms (Paddeu 2017).
From the earliest use of crops as landscaping plants in
gardens, to the later abandoning of crops, and to the re-
use of crops as a garden component nowadays, it is a
return to the understanding of ecology and nature.
Sightseeing farm is a new type of landscape garden
that integrates sightseeing, agricultural production and
landscape construction. It has the functions of tourism
and sightseeing, leisure labour, recreational education,
traditional humanistic influence, etc., can achieve a
high degree of unity of economic, social and ecological
benefits, and adapt to the psychological needs of people
in the new era. With the advancement of science and
technology and the increase in disposable time and dis-
posable income, tourist farms in developed countries
have gradually developed into a space for popular
social activities. There are many sightseeing farms that
have been built or are under construction, with various
forms and different contents, such as ecological agricul-
tural sightseeing gardens, agricultural high-tech demon-
stration gardens, sightseeing orchards, sightseeing tea
gardens, leisure farms, agricultural parks, etc. (Hunt
and Daughtry 2018). Agriculture Sightseeing Garden is
another sort of scene, it isn’t just an assortment of
some agrarian specialised measures, is certifiably not a
straightforward superposition of rural creation and
scene components, yet rather a complex coordinated
framework. Hi-tech farming mostly alludes to horticul-
tural tasks including the most recent advancements.
… Developing calm vegetables in a heat and humidity
and creating sickness safe plants through hereditary
designing are basic instances of hay tech agribusiness.
The circular economy intends to assemble ecological
and social advantages, rethink development by building
monetary as well as social capital. It additionally aids in
setting ecological issues, for instance, plastic and gas
contamination. Some of the advantages of circular
economy are lessening tension on the climate, enhan-
cing the security of supply of raw materials, expanding
seriousness, animating development, boosting
707
monetary development and so on. The suburb agricul-
tural is also known as SAG. It is a zone grouping accom-
modating neighbourhoods, country in nature, with
adequately huge parts to consider the support of
specific animals as well as homestead crops, while simul-
taneously building up and keeping a living climate of
elevated requirements for private. The benefits of
suburb agriculture are given below as,
. Financial turn of events – preparing for occupations
as well as living,
. Instruction – learning at school,
. Climate – expanding biodiversity,
. Wellbeing – enlightening eating regimens,
. Relaxation – invigorating chipping in, and
. Manageable areas.
Based on the above analysis, this paper plans the agri-
cultural production bases in the suburbs of the city on
the basis of the concept of circular economy, combines
agricultural ecology to construct an agricultural func-
tional production base suitable for current needs, and
designs its buildings.
Related work
In various countries in the world, due to the uneven dis-
tribution of agricultural resources and the differences in
production conditions, the agricultural layout varies
greatly. It was not until the beginning of the tenth
century that agricultural regions were scientifically
divided. Relatively speaking, Western developed
countries have done more research on agricultural
specialisation (Butt and Taylor 2018). France, Australia,
the United States, and Japan are all countries in the
world that have successfully developed agricultural
specialisation. By analysing the development status of
agricultural industrialisation in these countries, it can
provide a reference for the development of Wenzhou’s
agricultural functional zoning (Cinà and Khatami 2017).
According to different land use patterns, the agricultural
land in France generally has four types of zones: fodder
crops zones, field crops zones, grasslands zones, grapes,
fruits and vegetables zones. Australia attaches great
importance to the use and protection of agricultural
resources, and its agricultural layout to specific technical
measures are all centred on the rational use of agricul-
tural resources and the protection of the agricultural
environment (Faysse et al. 2018). The United States is
divided into 10 agricultural production areas according
to climate, soil type, distance to market, terrain height
and other factors: Appalachian Region, Northeast
Region, Southeast Asia, Lake Region, Corn Belt, Delta
708 W. ZHU
Region, Southern Plain, Northern Plain, Western Moun-
tain (Sarmah et al. 2018). The Japanese government
has put forward the main goals of realising agricultural
policies: increasing the self-sufficiency rate of agricul-
tural products, improving the efficiency of agricultural
operations, giving play to the multiple functions of agri-
culture, and promoting rural revitalisation and develop-
ment (Boyabatlı et al. 2019). From the research status of
foreign agricultural zoning, it is not difficult to find that
the research focus of agricultural zoning in different
countries is also different due to the different natural
conditions, geographical locations and agricultural
characteristics of various countries. Various countries
conduct research on agricultural zoning according to
their own agricultural development needs, and the
success of agricultural development in these countries
has common successful experiences that can be used
for reference (Webb et al. 2017).
The meaning of agricultural function is as follows.
Sanz et al (2017) pointed out that agricultural func-
tions mainly include the following aspects: economic
functions, social functions, and environmental func-
tions. Moreover, it positions the agricultural function
of our country in the twenty-first century: continuing
to develop economic functions, actively stabilising
social functions, and vigorously improving environ-
mental functions. This marks the beginning of
research on the positioning of agricultural functions
in our country. Koopmans et al. (2017) believes that
leisure agriculture should have the function of allow-
ing tourists to relax, building a clean and beautiful
metropolis, improving efficiency and increasing
employment opportunities for rural areas, providing
tourists with practical and health care, education
demonstrations, protection of urban resources, and
adjusting the internal structure of agriculture, agricul-
tural landscape, and the media. Chriest and Chritina
(2019) divided agricultural functions into two-level
functions, which further enriches the definition of
agricultural functions. The primary functions are
divided into four categories: economic functions,
food safety functions, ecological functions, and social
functions. The second-level function is a specific sub-
division of the first-level function. The research on the
division of agricultural functional areas is as follows.
Based on the analysis of its goals, guiding ideology
and principles, Bellemare and Dusoruth (2021)
drawled five major agricultural function zoning indi-
cator groups: agricultural product supply function, cul-
tural function, obstacle factor, ecological function,
employment and social security function. Moreover,
it used the stepwise discriminant clustering method
to complete the spatial clustering of the Northeast
Agricultural Function Index, divided the agriculture
in the Northeast into six functional areas, and ana-
lysed and put forward the functional positioning of
each area and the policy recommendations for the
sustainable development of Northeast agriculture.
Majumdar et al. (2017) selected 28 indicators to
characterise Beijing’s agriculture, including cultural
leisure functions, supply functions, social security
functions, and employment ecological functions. Vis-
ković and Komac (2018) used the stepwise discrimi-
nant clustering method to carry out spatial
clustering analysis of functional indicators, and
divided the urban suburbs into four functional areas:
the middle suburban integrated agricultural function
area, the mountainous agricultural ecological function
area, the leisure agriculture function area, and the
agricultural production function area. Doitchinova
(2019) used stepwise discriminant function index clus-
tering method to classify agricultural production func-
tional areas, and proposed countermeasures and
suggestions for the construction of modern agricul-
ture. According to the actual situation, industrial
layout and development trend of agricultural develop-
ment in Zhejiang Province, Duží et al. (2017) divided
agricultural development into five major functional
areas in accordance with the zoning basis and
principles.
Multi-agent model of the building volume of
agricultural production base
A multi-agent model can have the ability to catch the
main associations among farm-households. One
among the kind of communication is the trading of
data about novel advancements that is fundamental
for the individual development choice. The multi-agent
system G = (V, E) of building volume is composed of a
set of agents V and a defined relationship E between
agents. Each building volume is regarded as a single
agent v [ V, which is composed of three-dimensional
cubes in an orthogonal system (Figure 1). An arrange-
ment of bends else surfaces comprising of two families
whose segments where they cross are commonly oppo-
site (lines of force as well as the equipotential surfaces in
an electrostatic field).
The total volume of each agent is preset, and its
internal variable properties have three items: length,
position and direction in three dimensions. The length,
width, and height of the agent are all changed with
the position and angle relationship between the
agents to obtain the best form in the space (Aryal
et al. 2020).
 ACTA AGRICULTURAE SCANDINAVICA, SECTION B — SOIL & PLANT SCIENCE
Figure 1. The intelligent body model of the building volume.
The displacement operation move(v, m)
is to move
the position of each agent corresponding to position
(Figure 2(a)), so that the agent v moves along the
vector m
direction by a distance of |m|.

This operation
is used to maintain the distance between the agents,
such as ensuring the building spacing between build-
ings, or ensuring the adjacent relationship between
buildings to meet the topological relationship and func-
tional requirements (Pattnaik et al. 2018).
During the optimisation process of the system, agents
often intersect each other. For this reason, an exclusion
rule is introduced, which represents the distance
between agents. In general, the exclusion rule is that
in any framework portrayed by quantum mechanics no
2 indistinguishable particles having turn equivalent to
a large portion of an odd number can be in a similar
quantum state: 1st hypothesised for the electrons in
quite a while.
The entire optimisation process can be represented
by the following process: When the agent vi and the
agent vj intersect, the system will calculate the centre
point of the intersection of the plane of vi and vj , and
then calculate the displacement vector m
of the agent
based on the position of the centre point. Finally, the
709
system performs a displacement operation move(v, m)

on vi so that vi and vj are far away from each other
(Figure 3(a)). The displacement vector can be calculated
by the following formula (Pandey 2017):

= (
v −
c) × k
m (1)
Among them,
c is the geometric centre of the intersec-
tion of the agent vi and vj , and k is the length parameter
of the agent’s displacement vector, which is inversely
proportional to the distance of |vi − vj |. Through the
optimisation of the exclusion rule, it can be ensured
that the obtained agent will not occupy the common
space, and the rationality of the obtained result can be
ensured.
The calculation of building spacing can be trans-
formed into the calculation of plane intersection
(Figure 3(b)). First, according to the building
spacing requirement d of the agentvi , the collision
detection range vi−offset is calculated. After that,
for any other agent vj , the intersecting part
intersection = vi−offset > vj is calculated. Then its dis-
placement vector m
can be calculated by the
method in the exclusion rule as a parameter in its
displacement operation.
(3) Boundary rules
The boundary rule is that the boundary of the site will
produce repulsive force on the building volume that
crosses the boundary, and push the transboundary
agent toward the centre of the site (Figure 4), so that
the position occupied by the agent in the space tends
to be reasonable. The optimisation process of the pro-
gramme is as follows: first, for each agent vi [ V, the
difference v\Site between the shape of its bottom
surface and the shape of the field is judged. If the area
of v\Site is greater than zero, it means that the agent
has crossed the boundary, and the displacement
vector is calculated (Skar et al. 2020):





















m = siteCenter − differenceCenter (2)
After that, the agent applies a displacement operation

After the algorithm obtains a stable state
move(v, m).
after several cycles, in the convex polygonal site, the
intelligent volume with the right position can be
obtained (Ernwein 2017). A polygon with all its inside
points under 180° is said to be as convex polygonal.
This implies that entire vertices of the polygon determi-
nation point outwards, away since the inside of shape.
Consider it a ‘protruding’ polygon. It is to keep remind
that a triangle (3-gon) is consistently raised.
710 W. ZHU
Figure 2. Three basic operations of the agent: displacement, rotation, and extrusion.
All the rules related to the direction are divided into
several sub-rules, and the results of each rule are calcu-
lated separately, and the weighted sum is performed
according to the importance of each rule to obtain the
final rotation parameters:
 
w1 × anglelight + w2 × angleedge 
angle = / wi (3)
+ · · · + wi × anglei
Among them, wi is the weight of each rule set artificially,
which represents the designer’s emphasis on the rule in
the optimisation process. The more important the rule,
the greater the weight, and its impact on the results
will be magnified, and vice versa, the impact on the
results will be weakened. Finally, the rotation operation
rotate(v, angle) is performed on each agent according to
the rotation parameter angle. In this paper, the orien-
tation rules are divided into two categories: the south-
facing rule and the boundary parallel rule.
The principal benefit of a south-bound house or
nursery is the measure of daylight you’ll appreciate. As
the sun ascends in the east and sets in the west, the
south side of any house will see the most long stretches
of daylight during the day – particularly in the Northern
Hemisphere – so a south-bound nursery exploit this. The
biggest rule for south facing is to ensure that every
building volume has the greatest south-facing length
during the rotation process. For any multi-agent in the
process of changing its direction, its southward length
will change with the change of its direction (Figure 5).
For each agent in a rotating state, the southward
length dsouth of the current state can be calculated by
the following formula (Puri et al. 2017):
dsouth = wSize × cos (angle) + hSize × sin (angle) (4)
During each optimisation process under the maximum
rule toward the south, the direction of the agent will ran-
domly change, that is, randomly rotate an angle

to adopt this kind of change according to the change in
the value of the evaluation parameter dsouth .
The boundary of the site is regarded as the set E of
line segments. For each boundary e [ E in the set, the
distance from the edge e to the geometric centre of
the agent is calculated, and after all e is traversed, the
nearest edge ei from the geometric centre is obtained.
After that, according to the direction eedge of ei and the
direction of the agent, the agent’s rotation angle is cal-
culated so that the direction of the agent is close to
the direction of dedge or the angle of the vertical direction
of dedge (Figure 6).

Figure 7. The proportional rule of the agent.
This method is implemented by the squeeze oper-
ation squeeze(v, x, y), and the optimisation process
can be expressed in the following way (Figure 7):
first, for each agent vi [ V, whether it intersects
with other agents is judged. If it intersects, the
 can be maintained.
vector f j is used to represent the thrust trend of
each agent vj [ V that intersects with the agent,
and the length of the component in the x-direction
and y-direction of the vector is accumulated and
recorded. After traversing all vj , the one with more
cumulative length in the x-direction and y-direction
components means that the surrounding environ-
ment has a greater impact on it, and the length
needs to be shortened in this direction and increased
in the other direction.
Based on the ‘rule-evaluation-update’ programme
model, every operation result of the agent needs to be
evaluated under the action of several rules. If the evalu-
ation result is worse than the original, this operation will
be discarded, and the evaluation function E will be calcu-
lated by weighting:
 appearing, the calculation of the ratio is fixed to
E = (w1 × e1 + w2 × e2 + · · · + wi × ei )/ wi (5)
The intersection relationship edist is a judgmental evalu-
ation, which is used to describe whether the building
spacing of each agent vi [ V in the optimisation result
is satisfied. Using the principle of the spacing rule,
through the two-dimensional Boolean operation
between the bottom plane shapes of the agent, the
algorithm returns the Boolean value of the relationship
between the two. Boolean operators are said to be as
straightforward words like AND, OR, NOT or AND NOT.
It is utilised as conjunctions to consolidate or avoid
watchwords in an inquiry, bringing about more
engaged as well as useful outcomes. This should save
time and exertion by wiping out improper hits that
should be checked prior to disposing of. If there is an
intersection, the interval of vi is evaluated as 0, otherwise
it is 1.
The quantity of equal execution workers related with
a solitary activity is called as the degree of parallelism
(DOP). Equal execution is intended to adequately
utilise different CPUs. Oracle Database equal execution
structure empowers you to either especially pick a par-
ticular level of parallelism or to depend on Oracle Data-
base towards consequently regulator it. The degree of
parallelism with the edge eedge is a numerical evaluation,
which is used to describe the degree of parallelism
between each agent vi [ V and its closest edge. The
degree of parallelism is calculated by the angle
between the direction of the agent and the edge.
Since the plane shape of the agent is rectangular, it is
necessary to calculate the angle between the agent
and the edge on its two mutually perpendicular axes,
and take the minimum value angle. Then, the parallel
degree of vi is evaluated as 1 − angle/90◦ . The larger
the value, the more parallel the agent and the edge
The south-facing length esouth is a numerical evalu-
ation, where esouth [ (0, 1) is used to describe the
south-facing lighting length of each agent vi [ V. The
calculation method is the same as the calculation
method in the direction rule:
esouth = dsouth /dmax (6)
dsouth = wSize × cos(angle) + hSize × sin (angle) (7)
Proportion of shape
The proportion eshape of the shape is used to describe
whether the proportion optimisation result of each
agent vi [ V is reasonable, and it is a composite evalu-
ation. In order to prevent the ratio of less than 1 from
ratio = Thelongside/Theshortside. Each agent will preset
a maximum and minimum scale coefficients maxRatio,
minRatio and the optimal ratio bestRatio according to
its functional requirements. When the ratio is close to
the set optimal value, the function will return 1, and
when the ratio value exceeds the limit, the function
will return 0. The evaluation function can be expressed
by the following formula f (ratio).

Architectural planning of agricultural
production bases in suburbs based on the
concept of circular economy
This article chooses the construction plan of the agricul-
tural production base in the suburbs of a certain city as
the basis, and analyses the spatial distribution and con-
struction planning of the agricultural base in the
research. The multi-level measures in a cultivating situ-
ation are robotised by smart sensors and intelligent
dynamic framework. This article presents a smart
sensor data preparing technique for controlling the cul-
tivating gadgets’ capacities. This technique is named
smart sensing-based functional control (SSFC) that is
contrived to distinguish as well as relieve the vulnerabil-
ities in taking care of data (Manogaran et al. 2021).
Urban and rural ecological planning refers to plan-
ning theories and methods that start from urban and
rural planning, identify the ecological relationship, com-
position, and various environmental thresholds of urban
and rural spaces, follow the principles of ecological
cybernetics, and make the urban and rural development
towards sustainable development through the rational
allocation of space resources. Cybernetics can be com-
prehensively characterised as a field of information
trying to offer an overall numerical way to deal with
the investigation of complex frameworks independent
of their inclination such as artificial else living. Natural
terrestrial ecosystem addressed as a cybernetic
framework.
It can also be seen from the definition that urban and
rural spatial ecological planning is a spatial planning
method that explores how to ensure the harmonious
development of urban and rural construction and eco-
logical harmony. The main significant components of
spatial planning method are given below as,
. Classification of spatial,
. Focal spot frameworks,
. Axes,
. Capacities, and
. Rule esteems.
The main contents of urban and rural ecological plan-
ning are as follows.
. The first is to break through the differentiation of tra-
ditional research schools of urban and rural space,
and use ecology as the main line to study the com-
ponents, mechanisms and control principles of
urban and rural space development.
. The second is to expand the connotation of ecological
planning, to integrate environmental ecology, natural
713
ecology, social ecology, and economic ecology based
on the spatial resource allocation of the urban plan-
ning discipline, and to systematically explore the prin-
ciples and methods of ecological planning applicable
to all spatial levels.
. The third is to divide the three spatial levels related to
the overall concept of urban and rural space: regional
space, urban external space and urban internal space,
and study the urban-rural mechanisms at each corre-
sponding level and the ecological planning technical
methods at each corresponding level.
. The fourth is to study the corresponding policies to
ensure the implementation of ecological planning.
The related theories of planning and design of agri-
cultural sightseeing parks are involved in various
spatial levels of ecological planning: regional gathering
points, spatial patches, ecological corridors, and urban
green space systems due to the different areas, geo-
graphical locations, and functional types of agricultural
sightseeing parks. In the planning and design of agricul-
tural tourism, in order to achieve its ecology and sustain-
ability, we must start from the perspective of urban and
rural ecological planning, and integrate the planning of
agricultural sightseeing parks into the entire regional
ecosystem for unified consideration, so that it can effec-
tively promote the improvement of surrounding eco-
logical benefits.
The sustainable development of agriculture, as a
worldwide trend of thought, first emerged in developed
countries. From the background, it can be seen that the
rise of sustainable agricultural development is closely
related to a series of ecological and environmental pro-
blems brought about by the development of modern
agriculture. Generally speaking, sustainable agricultural
development is an agricultural development theory
put forward to seek a more suitable for human’s
lasting survival and development under the situation
that modern agriculture has developed to a higher
level, agricultural natural resources have been over-uti-
lised, the agricultural environment and agricultural
ecology have been destroyed, and the relationship
between humans and the natural environment and agri-
cultural ecology has become increasingly incompatible.
Agricultural environment is termed as identifying with
the effect of rural practices on the climate while the agri-
cultural ecology is completed inside the biological
system. These tamed plant as well as animal species col-
laborate together in the climate to frame the agro-eco-
logical framework. Sustainability is the continuous use
of agricultural resources, and it is not a predatory devel-
opment, but a combination of development and protec-
tion. Sustainability is a kind of thought first, and the root
714 W. ZHU

of its thought is the finiteness of resources, and then it is based on courtyard economy combines the production
a kind of technology and method. When sustainable environment with the living environment, and uses
thinking is applied to the agricultural field, sustainable biogas and other processes to turn human and animal
agriculture is produced. This article analyses the con- manure into treasure for recycling.

main model is an agricultural and forestry three-dimen-
sional structure ecosystem that makes full use of space
and land resources. The system uses the characteristics
of various biological species to establish various forms
of three-dimensional structures through reasonable
combination to achieve the purpose of making full use
of time, space and land resources and increasing pro-
ductivity, such as the rotation, intercropping and inter-
cropping of various crops. The system uses the food
chain relationship of biological species to fully transform
each type of resource in the process of energy consump-
tion and transformation, including the following
systems. The material circulation system of land-water
exchange includes the mulberry fish pond model. This
model combines two or more symbiotic organisms in a
system based on ecological principles to make the
species mutually beneficial, such as fish farming in rice
fields, symbiosis of birds, fish and mussels, and symbiosis
of rice, fish and grass, etc. The fishery three-dimensional
aquaculture system is to make full use of water
resources, fish and other aquatic organisms’ living laws
and diets, and the niche in the water body to carry out
three-dimensional aquaculture in accordance with the
principles of the food chain. The courtyard ecosystem Figure 8. Longitudinal layout of field canal system.

training is to convey water to the ranch water system fra-
mework (s). When the field irrigation canal is arranged
horizontally, as shown in Figure 9, it eliminates the
need for water delivery ridges, reduces the length of
the field canal system, saves land and reduces the loss
of field water delivery. The sublateral canal is generally
arranged along the direction of the contour line or has
a small angle with the contour line, so that the direction
of the irrigation ditches, borders and the ground slope
are roughly the same, which is conducive to irrigation.
The arrangement of agricultural canals should be per-
pendicular to the contour lines, and the sublateral
canal spacing should be the width of the field.

This article combines the actual needs to construct
a happy farm module suitable for urban people to
play. It is mainly a vegetable planting area, where visi-
tors can enjoy the fun of free picking. It is mainly com-
posed of greenhouse production and green fields
(Figure 10).
Greenhouse production is might be all year in
addition to, it can give significant income consistently.
You might create vegetable yields, develop vegetable
transfers for makers, harvest ornamentals, as well as
blossom creation. Numerous nursery administrators
have almost no time when a yield isn’t being delivered.
The benefits of happy farm are healthy produce and
land, rising population, family on the farm, nature and
so on. The greenhouse production can able to afford
control climate to high esteem crops such as therapeutic
plants, blossoms and so on. The crops become exclusive
a greenhouse is sound as well as provide good out-
comes. The plan of a nursery relies on the scope of the
spot in addition to the prerequisite of harvest. A multi-
class model utilising Improved Mahalanobis Taguchi
System (IMTS) is proposed dependent on ordinary per-
ceptions and Mahalanobis distance for horticulture
improvement. Twenty-six info factors applicable to edit
development have been distinguished and grouped
into six principle factors for the improvement of the
model. The multiclass model is created with the
thought of the general significance of the variables. A
target work is characterised for the grouping of three
yields, specifically paddy, sugarcane and groundnut
(Deepa et al. 2020).

The large-scale fishing area is also one of the plans of
the base of this paper. It is a large-scale club integrating
fishery breeding demonstration, fishing and catering. It
mainly includes three sub-sites: fine breeding, golden
pond, and camping barbecue (Figure 11).
Through the above analysis, this paper completes the
basic planning of the agricultural production base. The
planning and design of the Agricultural Sightseeing
Park is a multi-level and multi-structure integrated
system of agricultural production and tourism based
on the idea of ecological agriculture, the principles of
ecology, and the conscious use of modern scientific
and technological achievements and management
methods.
Conclusion
This thesis adopts the methods of field investigation,
theoretical analysis and case design to conduct
research in an exploratory attitude. Supported by the
concept of circular economy, this paper combines
intelligent planning technology to construct an agri-
cultural production base architectural planning
system, and establishes a basic understanding of the
ecological agricultural sightseeing park by analysing
the current comprehensive situation of the planning
and design of the ecological agricultural sightseeing
park. Moreover, after studying the planning and
design of the urban suburban ecological agricultural
sightseeing park, this paper proposes a model suitable
for the planning and design of the urban suburban
ecological agricultural sightseeing park at the county
scale. In addition, this paper completes the basic plan-
ning of the agricultural production base through case
analysis. According to the analysis, it can be seen that
the construction of agricultural production bases
under the concept of circular economy is based on
ecological agriculture ideas and ecological principles
to consciously use modern scientific and technological
achievements and management methods to establish
a multi-level, multi-structure agricultural production
and tourism integrated system.
