Impact of pesticide restrictions on regional production patterns

Abstract

A national and interregional programming model is analyzing the effects of banning Chlordane and Heptachlor from U.S. agriculture. The model has sectors for land and water resources, crop and livestock production, commodity transportation and domestic and foreign demand. The central Corn Belt would be put at some disadvantage and lose production to other regions. Soybeans and small grains would replace corn on low lands and the imputed values of this land would decline. Crop rotations would include somewhat less corn.

The spatiotemporal dynamic and spatial spillover effect of agricultural green technological progress in China

“…Green agriculture is an agricultural development model based on technological progress, integrating energy conservation, protecting and improving the agricultural ecological environment, and advocating a green consumption lifestyle (Wanzenboeck et al 2016 ). According to the literature summary and research results, if the market subject and regional environment are taken as the mainline, the internal promotion mechanism of AGTP can be attributed to the level of agricultural development, interregional interaction, and regional policy environment (Vocke and Heady 1978 ; Zhang et al 2021 ). The internal mechanism of these three aspects will effectively promote green sustainable production and promote the progress of agricultural green technology.…”

“…and Z. 2020 , Vocke and Heady 1978 , Zhang et al 2021 ), and based on the availability of data. We choose the research of relevant scholars (in Table 1 , the detailed description of index selection is provided in the supplementary file ) and select indicators to explore the spatial spillover effect of green technological progress and its role in green technological progress.…”
