On Necessity and Urgency of Environmental Cost Control in Jilin’s Farming Industry

Abstract

Relying on farming products as its major economic source, Jilin Province regards farming industry as its pillar
one and has attached great importance to this industry’s development in recent years. In my studies, however, it
is realized that farming industry is a highly-polluted one, especially water pollution. In addition, Jilin has quite
poor water resources as well as slow water metabolization caused by the special climate there. Therefore,
without appropriate control on environmental cost while developing farming industry, deteriorating pollution
will hinder the sustainable development of farming industry. This paper explores the necessity and urgency of
environmental cost control in Jilin’s farming industry, with a hope to give a warning to government as well as
investors and producers of farming industry and to establish scientific development philosophy on Jilin’s
farming industry.
