“…Zhang et al (2023) [21] constructed an agricultural water resources evaluation system to evaluate agricultural water resources carrying capacity and analysis of its spatio-temporal variation in Henan Province, China. Wang et al (2023) [22] constructed a six-dimensional comprehensive evaluation framework: innovation-effectiveness-sustainability-coordination-openness-sharing to evaluate and analyze the level of regional disparities and the dynamic distribution characteristics of high-quality agricultural development in China in the period from 2010 to 2018. It can be found that most of the current research on the spatio-temporal evolution of agricultural sustainability focuses on a certain aspect of agriculture or explores the impact of certain factors on agricultural development.…”

As an important pillar of human civilization, the development of agriculture has gradually become the focus of the international community to solve the development dilemma and promote the implementation of the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Agricultural sustainability issues are widely addressed in scientific literature and various reports by international organizations. However, there are some problems in the existing studies, such as the design of agricultural sustainable development evaluation indicators does not consider the differences in development stages and data statistical capacity of various countries, and the research depth of spatial and temporal change of agricultural sustainable development is insufficient. Agriculture has become a bottleneck for the world and China to achieve the SDGs. Based on the global indicator framework of the Sustainable Development Goals and comprehensive consideration of agricultural development common problems and regional characteristics, this work has established a basic index library consisting of 86 indicators to evaluate the agricultural sustainable development in China and provide the basis for the assessment in different regions. In the indicator optimization process, having considered the development stage of China, the basic characteristics of agriculture, data availability, and reliability, we determined an evaluation index system of China’s agricultural sustainable development that includes 25 specific indicators. The constant elasticity of substitution (CES) model was used to assess the temporal and spatial changes in agricultural sustainability in China at the national, regional, and provincial levels. The results showed that China’s Agricultural Sustainable Development Index (ASDI) score increased from 44.76 in 2011 to 59.22 in 2021, and the ASDI scores of all agricultural regions and provinces also increased to varying degrees. In terms of goal scores, SDG2, SDG6, SDG7, SDG8, SDG9, and SDG12 all exhibited an overall upward trend, in which SDG6 performed the best, and SDG2 performed the worst, scoring 84.76 and 43.05 in 2021, respectively. This paper will provide a basis for systematically evaluating the progress of agricultural sustainable development goals and accurately identifying unsustainable problems in agricultural development to help China implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Abstract. The purpose of the study was to study the peculiarities of the territorial distribution of agricultural producers and the impact of their location on the development of regional organic agriculture in the future. The information base was the results of a questionnaire survey of 100 agricultural producers of the Leningrad region, representing mainly peasant (farming) farms in the region. To assess the impact of the territorial factor on the possibilities of developing organic production, 4 groups of respondents were identified, depending on the remoteness of the farm from the regional center – Saint Petersburg, as well as district centers. Results. Based on the analysis of the typological characteristics of the respondents and their answers, it was concluded that the participants of the first group (up to 50 km from Saint Petersburg) and at the distance of the farm from the regional center from 101 to 200 km show greater interest in organic production. This confirms the thesis that the territorial factor increases the risks of entrepreneurial activity in agriculture. However, there was no close dependence of farmers' motivation on the location of farms. The multidirectional influence of territorial remoteness on interest in organic production has been established, which is associated with a complex of stimulating or limiting factors. It was determined that in each of the groups of respondents (except the first) there is a large proportion (from 20 to 40 %) of people who found it difficult to answer about their intention to switch to organic status, which allows them to be considered possible participants in this sector in the future, if there are more comfortable conditions of activity. The scientific novelty of the study is to identify the peculiarities of the influence of the territorial factor on the interest of small businesses in the transition to organic production, which will allow them to be taken into account when implementing appropriate regional programs to mitigate existing barriers to entrepreneurial activity in the agricultural sector.

The digital economy’s transformative impact on agriculture presents both opportunities and challenges for China’s pursuit of high-quality agricultural and rural development. This study investigates the complex interplay between digital economy, industrial structure transformation, and agricultural advancement using panel data from 31 Chinese provinces spanning 2012–2021. We employed mediation analysis and threshold effect models to uncover several key findings: (1) The digital economy influences high-quality agricultural and rural development through the dual-mediating mechanisms of industrial structure intensification and upgrading in China. (2) These mediating effects exhibit heterogeneous patterns: while industrial intensification positively channels the digital economy’s impact, industrial upgrading shows an initial negative indirect effect, suggesting potential short-term disruptions. (3) The relationship between digital economy and agricultural development is nonlinear, characterized by significant threshold effects. The digital economy’s positive impact becomes more pronounced as industrial structure surpasses certain sophistication and advancement thresholds. Our findings reveal the nuanced dynamics of digital-driven agricultural transformation, highlighting the need for targeted policies that leverage industrial-structure changes while mitigating potential adverse effects. This research contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of how digitalization can be harnessed to promote sustainable and high-quality agricultural and rural development in China, with implications for other developing economies navigating similar transitions.
