Abstract

Ethnic embeddedness in Yunnan Province is closely linked to the agricultural population and endogenous development. The embeddedness among ethnic groups promotes resource sharing and interactive exchange, positively influencing agricultural development. However, differences in cultural inheritance and organizational methods among ethnic groups pose challenges to agricultural progress. Strengthening cooperation and exchange among these groups is necessary to achieve coordination and common progress in agricultural development. This research outlines the methods and materials required, including an analysis of Yunnan’s agricultural population, ethnic embeddedness theory, and endogenous development theory. By integrating sustainable development theory, a coordinated development coupling analysis is conducted. Building on existing endogenous development models, a targeted embedded community endogenous development model for Yunnan is established. The model is evaluated, and its predictive results are examined. Findings indicate that the model promotes resource sharing and interaction, enhancing agricultural productivity, economic cooperation, and cultural inheritance. Ethnic cooperation improves agricultural efficiency and community economic development. Additionally, the model supports the preservation and development of ethnic culture, with cultural exchanges enriching Yunnan’s ethnic resources and fostering community identity and cohesion.
