Abstract
Agricultural development at the expense of natural wetlands is an historic and global phenomenon. The wetland-agriculture shift in ecological interactions from competition to coexistence requires more sustainable modes of development to balance wetland conservation with agriculture. Considering that the recreational values of wetlands have been gaining recognition, the concepts, types, development pathways and management challenges of wetland recreational agriculture are proposed here based on an analysis of the evolution of wetland-agriculture interactions as well as lessons and experiences derived from case studies of wetland agriculture. Through learning from traditional eco-agricultural ideas and using modern agricultural technology, wetland recreational agriculture is committed to delivering multiple ecosystem services, increasing the profitability of wetland agriculture and realizing a balance between public and private interests. Six practical guidelines are proposed, and the joint action of local residents, enterprises, scientists, governments, NGOs, and volunteers is recommended to drive the implementation of specific wetland recreational agricultural practices.
