The local organic food market in China is growing and socalled leisure agriculture has

been widely accepted and advocated in urban areas as a positive means of relaxation.

agriculture and seeks to explain development of organic food in Urban China using the

theoretical frame of the Circular Economy. The study uses a local organic food chain

involving Xiedao Ecological Holiday Village as a case. In conclusion, the paper

provides an estimate of the energy use efficiency of the chain.
