Green Agricultural Development Based on Information Communication Technology and the Panel Space Measurement Model

Abstract

This study was conducted to promote the construction of China’s ecological civilization; to reduce harm to the environment; to quantify the performance of agricultural green development (GD); and to truly achieve green, sustainable, and healthy agricultural development. From the perspectives of resources and the environment, first, information communication technology and the panel space measurement (PSM) model were adopted to analyze relevant indicator data from 2000 to 2019 in China’s 30 provinces. Second, China’s agriculture was measured to explore the overall characteristics, temporal changes, and regional differences of agricultural development. A panel data measurement model was constructed using the generalized least squares method, and the main factors affecting performance development were analyzed, which were verified by giving examples. Third, the governance countermeasures and improvement directors were proposed for agricultural GD in China. It is found that the driving force of performance of agricultural GD in China mainly depends on technological progress and that technological efficiency determines the speed of agricultural development. The regional differences in performance of agricultural GD are obvious in China. The growth in the performance of agricultural GD in the eastern region is much higher than that of the central, western, and northeast regions. In addition, the results show that the performance of agricultural GD is extremely positively correlated with the agricultural economic level, fiscal support for agriculture policy, and the industrialization process and that it is extremely negatively correlated with the level of opening-up, adjustment of agricultural structure, and the environmental regulatory capability of the government. As a result, this study can provide some ideas for the realization of agriculture GD in China.

Research on the Level of Agricultural Green Development, Regional Disparities, and Dynamic Distribution Evolution in China from the Perspective of Sustainable Development

“…Liu et al (2022) described agricultural green development as a comprehensive undertaking that encompasses six aspects: the greenization of the entire process, including agricultural production layout, resource utilization, technological means, industrial systems, agricultural product supply, and consumption [21]. Zhang et al (2021) defined agricultural green development as a process that respects natural laws, utilizes advanced scientific and technological means, explores sustainable agricultural development, and achieves the harmonious integration of economic, social, and ecological benefits [22]. perceived agricultural green development as a new development concept that aims to undertake sustainable development, relies on the establishment of green institutions and innovative mechanisms, and realizes the greenization of the entire process and all aspects of agricultural production [23].…”

Does Digital Inclusive Finance Effectively Promote Agricultural Green Development?—A Case Study of China

“…Under the premise of determining how to measure agricultural green development in China, existing studies have analyzed its level and characteristics. For example, Zhang and Chen [ 25 ] found that the overall level of agricultural green development was steadily increasing. Deng et al [ 26 ] argued that its level shows a trend of rising first and then falling.…”

The influences of the advancement of green technology on agricultural CO2 release reduction: A case of Chinese agricultural industry

“…Then, Paroussos et al (2020) explored Italian green growth and identified that renewable power innovation reduces the total factor CO 2 performance index. As an improvement or innovation of agricultural technology , the advancement of green agricultural technology can favor the development of green technologies for energy conservation and cleaner production and increase the marginal output of green agricultural products (Zhang and Chen, 2021). Ge et al (2022) found technological advancement through research on pig breeding.…”
