“…The majority of the respondents were male, accounting for 72.32%, which is consistent with the fact that most of the heads of Chinese rural families are male [63]. The average age of the interviewees was about 62 years, which is in line with the current situation of the aging of rural residents in China [63]. Of the respondents, 611 were members of the Communist Party of China, accounting for 32.21%, and 308 were village cadres, accounting for 16.24%.…”

With the economic development and rising living standards in rural China, the amount of household waste generated continues to increase, causing serious pollution to the environment and risks to public health. Promoting the classification of rural household waste is a critical way to improve the dwelling environment and control disease transmission in rural areas. Using the 2021 China Land Economic Survey (CLES) conducted in rural areas of Jiangsu province, China, this research explores how economic incentives and reputational incentives impact rural residents’ participation in household waste classification intention and behavior. The results show that most surveyed rural residents have the intention to classify their household waste, but only half of them perform the waste classification behavior. Furthermore, both economic incentives and reputation incentives have significant positive effects on rural residents’ intention and behavior regarding household waste classification, and there exists a complementary effect between them, which indicates that a combination of economic incentives and reputation incentives will increase the participation rate of rural residents in household waste classification. Finally, based on the findings, we put forward recommendations for rural waste management policies, including synergizing both economic incentives and reputation incentives, improving the mobilization system, and strengthening publicity and education on household waste classification.

“…In rural areas, agricultural mechanization, particularly trans -regional operation, can help alleviate labor shortages. In this stage, the agricultural machinery offered by trans -regional operations could satisfy the demands of grain production [ [75] , [76] , [77] , [78] ]. Our findings suggest that a stable trans -regional operation of agricultural machinery has the potential to positively impact grain production activities in its associated areas by enhancing efficiency and promoting integrated services within the region.…”

“…Wong et al (2020) found that agricultural insurance significantly inhibits agricultural green transformation [63]. Similarly, Li et al (2023) identified a nonlinear relationship between urbanization and agricultural green transformation [3]. However, there is a lack of literature investigating the influence of land transfer on agricultural green transformation.…”

“…Gao et al (2023) analyzed the data of 46 prefectures in Japan based on a structural equation model and found that land transfer could effectively improve the efficiency of land resource allocation, inhibit land abandonment, and contribute to sustainable land development [22]. In fact, land transfer is not only a focal point in agricultural green transformation but also a key driver for agricultural technology progress [23]. Some scholars pointed out that land transfer can promote agricultural technology progress through agricultural organization reform and management mode transformation [24].…”

As an important means of farmland policy, whether land transfer can promote agricultural green transformation is worthy of further study; however, related research is relatively rare. Based on the inter-provincial panel data from 2005 to 2020, this paper examines the influence of land transfer on agricultural green transformation and its underlying mechanism by using a two-way fixed effect model and an intermediary effect model. This study reveals significant findings as follows: (1) Land transfer substantially promotes agricultural green transformation. (2) Energy consumption is a major contributor to the growth of agricultural carbon emissions; however, land transfer can mitigate this by reducing energy consumption. (3) Land transfer can promote agricultural green transformation by fostering agricultural technology progress. (4) Further analysis reveals that land transfer in economically developed areas and the southeastern side of the “Hu-Huanyong Line” significantly enhances agricultural green transformation. Based on these findings, this paper suggests promoting land transfer while considering regional differences. Additionally, attention should be directed towards reducing energy consumption and encouraging agricultural technology’s progress.
