Abstract As a major agricultural province, Hebei boasts abundant agricultural cultural heritage resources, currently housing 3 globally important agricultural cultural heritage sites and 5 nationally important ones in China. This paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the current operational status of the agricultural cultural heritage system in Hebei, identifying such issues as the absence and fragmentation of institutional content, impeded implementation mechanisms coupled with a lack of inter-subject coordination, and the lagging development of supporting guarantee systems. By further exploring the root causes of these problems from the dimensions of legal hierarchy, policy coordination, governance structure and funding mechanism, the study concludes that multi dimensional reforms and improvements are required, including optimizing the legal framework, improving implementation mechanisms and strengthening supporting safeguards.
