Abstract

This paper evaluates the carrying capacity of cultivated land in Guangdong Province, China, using the entropy weight method. Ecological and environmental pressure significantly impacts capacity, while economic and social factors are stable. Production pressure fluctuates and rises. To improve capacity, we must reduce ecological and environmental pressure, protect cultivated land resources, develop and promote green technology, and maintain water conservation facilities. The results indicate that reducing ecological and environmental pressure is essential to improve the carrying capacity of cultivated land in Guangdong Province. In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of balancing economic growth with environmental sustainability in developing regions like Guangdong Province. It suggests that a holistic approach that considers ecological, economic, and social factors is necessary to ensure long-term food security and sustainable land use practices.
