Abstract: Soil and water conservation is an important and based work of sustainable agricultural development. However, how to estimate the real condition of quality evaluation system of soil and water conservation for sustainable agricultural development has become a problem. In this paper, an evaluation system and method provides powerful tools for the soil and water conservation based on induced ordered weighted averaging (IOWA) operator and incomplete information. Firstly, a new quality evaluation system of soil and water conservation for sustainable agricultural development is build based on IOWA method with multiple attributes. Secondly, the method of multiple attribute comprehensive evaluation method with incomplete information is presented to determining variation coefficient and calculating overall evaluation weights. Then, the priorities of quality evaluation are obtained based on the calculating weight of acceptable degree. And the result of quality assessment reveals inner difference of sustainable agricultural development. Finally, the rationality and feasibility of new quality evaluation system is demonstrated by the case study from China.
