Based on natural resources in Xinjiang, some problems existing in agricul- tural sustainable development in Xinjiang were explored, such as simple agricultural structure （unbalanced development in different regions）, dispersed production pattern, and lower efficient water use for agriculture. Furthermore, some countermeasures for Xinjiang agricultural sustainable development were proposed as well, including ad- justment of agricultural structure for optimization of resource allocation, strict control of population for improvement of people education, strengthening of S＆T innovation for popularization of sustainable development, and construction of macro-adjustment mechanism of resources use for virtuous environment.
