“…Given these distinctions, the policy effects may differ between agricultural main production zones and non-agricultural main production zones. In China, the designated agricultural main production zones encompass seven regions: Northeast Plain, Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, Yangtze River Basin, Fenwei Plain, Hetao Irrigation District, South China, and Gansu-Xinjiang [26][27][28][29]. This study selects ten major provinces from these primary agricultural production zones as focal areas for agricultural production analysis.…”

Green agriculture is a new sustainable agricultural development model that coordinates agricultural development with the environment which has been vigorously promoted in China in recent years. With the support of national policies, China has set up 130 pilot zones for green agricultural development. Taking these pilot zones as quasi-natural experimental areas, the difference-in-differences (DID) method and agricultural green total factor productivity are used to evaluate the effect of the policy in the pilot zones. The findings indicate that the pilot zones notably diminish non-point source agricultural pollution without affecting agricultural added value and improve agricultural green total factor productivity by improving technical efficiency. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the effectiveness of this policy varies regionally. The eastern region of China, the main agricultural producing areas, and the regions with higher initial environmental pollution levels and abundant educational resources experience more pronounced benefits. Based on the regional characteristics of different regions, this study considers the factors such as agricultural resource endowment and development basis and explores how the policy effects of agricultural green development in different regions, which has certain guiding significance for the continuous improvement in China’s agricultural green development policies.
