Abstract: The development indicators of leisure agriculture were analyzed in-depth for 12 provinces,autonomous regions,and municipalities in western China,and the future development trends were compared in this paper to provide a theoretical reference for promoting the sustainable development of leisure agriculture in western China.By selecting factors influencing the leisure agriculture development and building a set of evaluation index system of leisure agriculture in western China in the future development trend,combined with expert scoring and raw data collection,the analytic hierarchy process （AHP） and entropy weight method （EWM） were used to calculate the index weight.Using the linear weighted to do a comprehensive evaluation index,it is concluded that the future leisure agriculture development in western China has the sort and situational evaluation rating.The ranking and comprehensive evaluation results are as follows：the first level （excellent）：Sichuan Province 0.679 1,Yunnan Province 0.547 5,Chongqing Municipality 0.476 0,Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region 0.469 9;the second level （good） ：Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region 0.469 4,Guizhou Province 0.468 3,Shaanxi Province 0.370 2,Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region 0.282 4;the third level （qualified） ：Xizang Autonomous Region 0.241 3,Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region 0.166 9,Gansu Province 0.161 0,Qinghai Province 0.150 3.The future development of leisure agriculture in western China shows an obvious trend of regional differentiation and has a great potential for development.It requires the government to provide assurances in policy,land,talents,capital and publicity,in order to promote the further transformation and upgrading of leisure agriculture industry and tourism industry in western China.
