Abstract: This article used the coupling coordination degree model to analyze the coupling relationship between Ankang ecological environment protection and agricultural economic development from 2009 to 2018. The results showed that Ankang had shown a trend of integrated development in terms of ecological environmental protection and agricultural economic development, and had gradually developed from barely coordination to current good coordination. The protection of the ecological environment promoted the development of the agricultural economy, and there was no decline in the development of the agricultural economy due to the increase in agricultural non-point source pollution control, forest coverage, ecological protection investment and so on. However, Ankang's ecological and environmental protection tasks were still arduous, and some suggestions were made accordingly.

Key words: ecological environment protection, agricultural economic development, coupling relationship, Ankang city
