“…In most cases, dynamic analysis of AEE is needed. The research on AEE driving factors is helpful to scientifically analyze the causes, influencing factors, and improvement ways of AEE loss and is of great significance to promote the rational allocation of agricultural resources and realize the efficient, coordinated, and sustainable development of agriculture [50,73]. In order to explore the influencing factors of AEE, scholars have used grey correlation model, panel threshold regression model, convergence test, and the Tobit model to analyze from different angles, such as agricultural development, macro environment, and policy support [74].…”

The research on agricultural eco-efficiency has become an important point to deeply understand the interaction between ecological and environmental conditions and socio-economic factors as well as realize the coordinated development of agricultural economic development and environmental protection. (1) Background: This paper attempts to provide scientific support for the healthy and stable development of the agricultural economy and the sustainable development of ecological agriculture. (2) Methods: From a comprehensive perspective, this paper systematically analyze the overall situation, development trend, key fields, and hot fields of agricultural eco-efficiency in the past two decades. It consists of two complementary parts, including systematic quantitative literature review (based on CiteSpace) and traditional literature review. (3) Results: Agricultural eco-efficiency has evolved significantly with the popularization of agricultural machinery and the wide application of science and technology in the field of agricultural ecology. Its future development relies on the advances in our knowledge on theories and hypothesis, evaluation methods, impact on “socio-economic ecological” system, and drivers and regulation of agricultural eco-efficiency. For each of these fields, we find that challenges still exist. At present, the quantitative methods and index selection are not unified. We should deeply analyze the internal and external driving force of the development and change of ecological efficiency by constructing a complete theoretical framework for the research of agricultural ecological efficiency. At the same time, new technologies and methods are needed to evaluate agricultural eco-efficiency, and a balanced consensus between the improvement of agricultural eco-efficiency and the improvement of the ecological environment should be formed through empirical research.

“…Since the production efficiency of green agricultural factors reflects the coordinated development of agricultural "economy-ecology", this paper considers the input index, desirable output index and undesirable output in selecting the evaluation index of agricultural green development level. Relevant literature suggests that resource inputs, such as land, labor, fertilizers, pesticides, and water, are best selected as agricultural energy consumption indicators [20]. Likewise, environmental pollution caused by agricultural economic activities (agricultural soil nutrient surplus) is considered an undesirable product.…”

Traditionally, in the pursuit of economic development, ecological health was sacrificed, but this is no longer tenable considering the vast environmental damage that is difficult to control and expensive to repair. This is especially true for China’s Jianghuai River Basin (JRB). As a result, this paper uses the slacks-based measure (SBM) directional distance function and the tobit model on panel data from various cities and counties in the Jiangsu section of the HRB to empirically analyze regional green agricultural production efficiency and influencing factors from 2005 to 2019. The results illustrate that agricultural and environmental efficiency fluctuate upward in provincial areas. Still, a downward trend is observed in both redundancy and insufficiency rates of undesirable and desirable output. While this indicates improving regional agricultural and environmental efficiency, there is no readily detectable positive effect of technological progress and technical efficiency on green agricultural production efficiency improvements. Following a full analysis, policy implications are presented and discussed.

“…Second, developing agricultural intensification and land consolidation is more suitable in high arable land quality areas, where the output-input ratio tends to be higher [17,18]. Third, protecting and developing high-quality arable land is crucial for protecting farmland ecosystem health and improving the carbon sequestration capacity and land degradation prevention capability of arable land [19,20]. Fourth, arable land quality should be considered when delimiting the red line for farmland protection, optimizing the spatial distribution of arable land, and promoting conservation farming techniques [16,21].…”
