Abstract

This study delves into the potential and models of agricultural utilization of reclaimed mine land, analyzing its significant role in environmental restoration, economic development, and social stability. The research indicates that through scientific planning and management, reclaimed mine land can be transformed into highly productive agricultural land, while also promoting the recovery of the ecological environment and the sustainable development of the socio-economy. The paper proposes agricultural utilization models that integrate the characteristics of reclaimed mine land, emphasizing the application of ecological agriculture concepts in land reclamation, and analyzes the positive impact of agricultural utilization on the socio-economic development of mining areas. The study also explores the relationship between agricultural utilization and the sustainable development of mining communities, highlighting the importance of policy support and community participation. Finally, the paper summarizes the innovative points and practical significance of the research and points out future research directions.
