The index system for evaluating circular agriculture is finished by analysis of connotation, principles, technical object of circular agriculture, combing with the agricultural development degree in Jilin province. Based on the entropy and weight coefficient method, the authors make a comprehensive evaluation on the development of circular agriculture in Jilin province from 1990 to 2008.The result shows that the development process of circular agriculture in Jilin can be divided into three phrases. The first stage from 1990 to 1996 in which the development level of circular agriculture is stagnation, and the comprehensive evaluation index is 4.18; the second stage is from 1997 to 2002 in which the development level of circular agriculture improved slowly, and the comprehensive evaluation index is 4.77; the third stage is from 2003 to 2008 in which the development level of circular agriculture improved quickly, and the comprehensive evaluation index is 7.01.
