“…The education level per capita, the level of infrastructure, and the change of economic system all promote IGG of cities. In addition, agricultural financial subsidies can alleviate farmers' poverty [ 72 ]. Therefore, we use the ratio of urban fiscal expenditure to regional GDP as the proxy variable of government intervention (gove) and explore its relationship with IGGE.…”

With the vigorous development of digital economy based on digital technologies such as Internet of things (IoT), big data, and artificial intelligence, new vitality has been injected into China’s economic model. Inclusive green growth (IGG) supports the transformation of society towards a better quality of life and well-being, as well as environmental protection. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the main drivers of IGG. However, IGG is subject to a variety of interpretations and lacks definitional clarity. To brigade this gap, this study primarily evaluates the performance of IGG and explores the key drivers on IGG in China. Specifically, the data envelopment analysis (DEA) model is employed to calculate IGG for 281 cities in China during 2005–2020. Subsequently, we take advantage of a nest of machine learning (ML) algorithm to demonstrate the vital drivers of urban IGG, which avoids the defects of endogenous linear hypothesis of traditional econometric methods. The results indicate that digitization represented by the IoT and other digital technology is the core drivers of the urban IGG in the overall sample, accounting for about 50% among all of drivers. This finding provides new evidence supporting the “high-quality development” strategy in China, as well as shedding light on grasping the principal fulcrum to achieve the transformation towards IGG in developing economies similar to China.

“…The R 2 value of 0.80 shows that, 80% of the variations in the trend of budget allocation to agriculture during the military regime are explained by time. This is consistent with the findings of Olowa and Olowa (2014) who observed that budget allocations to agriculture have remained unnecessarily constant over the years.…”

The study evaluated the trends of budgetary allocation to agriculture and its impacts on agricultural output in Nigeria during military regime (1983-1998). Time series (secondary) data obtained from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) publications were used for analysis. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics (mean, maximum and minimum with graphs and trend models) and inferential statistics (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average [ARIMA] and ordinary least square [OLS] regression model, t-test and F-test). The findings revealed that trends of budget allocations to agriculture were inconsistent during the military regime to the extent that the instantaneous growth rate of budget allocation to agriculture during the military regime was -5.25% while the compound growth rate was -5.15%. Also, the instantaneous growth rate of agricultural output during the military regime was 6.32% while the compound growth rate was 6.50%. The effect of budget allocation to agriculture on agricultural output showed a unit increase in budget allocation which led to increased agricultural output by 0.15% during the military regime with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.67% revealing that budgetary allocation to agricultural sector has significant effect on agricultural output in Nigeria and that the relationship between them is strong, positive and significant (P≤0.0001). The agricultural output was forecasted to be about N17, 000,000.00 in the year 2025. The study recommended that budgetary allocation to the agricultural sector should be increased and properly monitored to guarantee increased agricultural output, food security, employment and overall economic growth and development in Nigeria.

“…In other words, all attempts made by every successive administration and foreign donor agencies to lessen poverty in Nigeria proved abortive [9]. Over 70% of the people living in abject poverty in Nigeria reside in the rural areas where agriculture is still at a microscopic scale [10], followed by numerous limitations inhibiting it from addressing the issue of poverty and food security. Thus, most poor people comprising small scale farmers live from hand to mouth due to their inability to turn out farm produce in commercial quantities.…”

The challenge of persistent poverty and food insecurity in Nigeria has been an issue of concern. The government’s effort to alleviate poverty in Nigeria through agriculture appears ineffective because most poor people are rural dwellers and are coincidentally the farmers. They seem not to be benefiting from the government interventions to support farming due to corruption and other unquantifiable factors. This study investigates the impact of agricultural output and food production on poverty decrease in Nigeria. The data used in this study span from 2009 to 2019. Relevant diagnostic tests and regression analysis are performed to obtain the empirical evidence highlighted in this paper. Thus, the findings reveal that the Food Production Index significantly and positively impacts poverty reduction, while Agricultural Output has an immaterial negative effect on poverty decrease. The study concludes that poverty alleviation in Nigeria and food security will depend on government’s full involvement in agriculture and improvement on its agricultural budget. Accordingly, the provision of necessary facilities to boost agriculture have been recommended. The facilities include modern farming equipment, sufficient power supply, credit facility, storage facility, and large markets.
