Abstract

The high-altitude geographical characteristics and unique climate types of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have dictated an agricultural and pastoral development path for the region, which, after a series of evolutionary developments, has culminated in the current model of agro-pastoral integration. However, the economic and ecological benefits brought by the development of agriculture and animal husbandry are accompanied by serious issues such as land degradation and overgrazing, making the exploration and practice of sustainable agro-pastoral integration models for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau an urgent task. This article utilizes CiteSpace to review recent literature on agro-pastoral development models in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Starting from the agro-pastoral processes, spatial layout, and economic development of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, this paper aims to provide a macroscopic understanding of the agro-pastoral integration model, propose new strategies and ideas for development, and offer scientific theoretical and practical guidance for sustainable development, achieving a win-win situation for economic growth and ecological protection.
