Is the technical efficiency green? The environmental efficiency of agricultural production in the MENA region

Research on agri-environmental technology efficiency——take Jilin Province in China as an example

“…Mutry in the study of technical efficiency of the agricultural environment will be the resources and ecological environment as a double constraint, and the cost of pollution control as a non-desired outputs into the study of an important element of the consideration [ 11 ], the pollution of the environment brought about by the agricultural production chain gradually in the measurement of the technical efficiency of the agricultural environmental as an factor that cannot be ignored [ 12 ]. With the rapid advancement of industrialisation, the positive effects of its formation extend to the agricultural field, promoting agricultural production efficiency significantly increased at the same time, but seriously ignored the negative effects on the agro-ecological environment, especially fertilizers, pesticides and other agricultural chemicals into the use of both the original ecological already very fragile region to increase the pressure, but also a significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions [ 13 ]. However, agricultural development and environmental pollution are not irreconcilable conflicts, and improving the technical efficiency of the production chain will significantly reduce carbon emissions from inputs [ [14] , [15] , [16] ], leading to improved economic and environmental benefits [ 17 ].…”

Enhancing agricultural product trade efficiency through machine learning predictions and multi-objective optimization of financial strategies

“…The introduction of quantile factor models serves to elucidate the nonlinear characteristics and data heterogeneity underlying trade efficiency, offering a nuanced depiction of data behavior across different quantiles. This facilitates maintaining predictive accuracy amid varying market risk levels, thereby enhancing the understanding financial strategies emerges as a cornerstone for fostering sustainable agricultural advancement (Huang et al, 2023;Zeng, et al, 2021). The importance of this research transcends theoretical investigation, extending to substantial practical implications.…”

Temporal–Spatial Evolution, Influencing Factors, and Driving Mechanisms of Environmental Regulation Performance Disparities: Evidence from China

“…Compared to eastern China, the atmospheric environmental performance of central cities has improved significantly but lacks momentum in the later stages, and the performance of western cities lags behind, owing to outdated technology and insufficient regulation [26]. Studies on agricultural environmental efficiency in Middle Eastern/North African countries have shown it is much higher in Jordan and Israel than in Egypt and Morocco [27], and a study on urban environmental governance efficiency in the Yangtze River Basin found extremely significant differences between cities [28]. Studies on total-factor eco-efficiency have similarly confirmed the problem of uneven ecological development [29].…”
