“…Finally, LT represents a contract between land transfer and labor transfer. In remote rural areas, information exchange related to land transfer is blocked, and the transaction cost is high, which significantly restricts the marketization of the rural LT system [68]. As a facilitator of information transmission, DFI alleviates information asymmetry between land supply and demand entities, dramatically reduces the economic costs of collecting and transmitting information for all parties involved in the transaction, and promotes the transferal and contracting of rural land.…”

Improving agricultural green total factor productivity is important for achieving high-quality economic development and the SDGs. Digital inclusive finance, which combines the advantages of digital technology and inclusive finance, represents a new scheme that can ease credit constraints and information ambiguity in agricultural production. First, this study focused on agro-ecological functions; we incorporated total agricultural carbon sequestration and emissions extraction into the evaluation system and used the mixed-direction-distance function to calculate agricultural green total factor productivity. Then, based on panel data from 31 provinces in China collected from 2011 to 2021, we used the two-way fixed effect model, the interactive fixed effect, and the plausibly exogenous variable method to test the impact of digital financial inclusion on agricultural green total factor productivity, and its mechanism of action. The panel-corrected standard error and fixed effect Driscoll–Kraay methods were used to account for the unobserved heterogeneity and cross-section dependence in the panel data. The results showed that digital financial inclusion can significantly improve agricultural green total factor productivity. This conclusion remained valid following robustness tests using the spatial econometric model and the method of changing explanatory variables. Digital financial inclusion can improve agricultural green total factor productivity by facilitating the transfer of agricultural land. Sound digital infrastructure and strict green credit policies enhance the role of digital inclusive finance in promoting the green development of agriculture. These conclusions could help the financial sector to formulate flexible, accurate, reasonable, and appropriate financial policies and products that would support agriculture, and enhance the role of digital inclusive finance in promoting sustainable agricultural development.

“…In terms of FLT, scholars have pointed out that rural residents moving out to urban areas for employment [ 27 ], the establishment of large-scale farm enterprises [ 28 ], land tenure fragmentation [ 29 ] and DFI [ 30 , 31 ] are all drivers of FLT. Furthermore, FLT is conducive to increasing cultivated land green utilization efficiency [ 32 , 33 ] and improving farmland protection techniques and the sustainable development of agriculture [ 19 ]. In terms of the mechanization level of farmland, the extant literature pointed out that the agricultural equipment level, the level of economic development, demographic factors, benefit factors [ 34 ] and socioeconomic characteristics, available technology and government policies [ 35 ] are positively related to the mechanization level of farmland, while small farm size and fragmentation of holdings [ 36 ] are negatively related.…”

In order to balance the relationship between economics, society and environment, the Chinese government has stated that China’s economy should shift from high-speed growth to high-quality development. Since agriculture is the foundation of the national economy, high-quality development of agriculture plays significant roles in the achievement of food security, social stability and environmental sustainability in China. In practice, the expansion of digital financial inclusion (DFI) seems to provide valuable opportunities for the development of high-quality agriculture. Nevertheless, in theory, the extant literature ignores exploration of the close relationships between DFI and high-quality agricultural development (HQAD). Hence, using Chinese provincial panel data from 2011 to 2020 and structural equation model (SEM) in STATA 16.0, this paper attempts to investigate whether and how DFI can enhance HQAD. Analysis reveals that (1) DFI can directly promote HQAD; (2) DFI can indirectly facilitate HQAD through the mediator of farmland transfer (FLT); (3) DFI can indirectly promote HQAD through the mediator of farmland mechanization level (FML); (4) compared with the benefits brought by “high-mechanization”, the benefits brought by “large-scale” farmland transfer policies are much greater. To our knowledge, our research is one of the first to investigate the direct and indirect effecting mechanisms of DFI’s influence on HQAD from the perspectives of farmland scale and farmland technology.

“…The idea of capacity coupling in physics inspired the notion of the coupling degree, which was expanded to produce a coupling degree and coupling coordination model to study the interaction in each subsystem. Therefore, on the basis of reference to the agriculture and photovoltaic industry by predecessors [24], economy and tourism [45], and Farmland Transfer and Cultivated Land Green Utilization Efficiency [46], in this paper, the coupling function between the FTS and FDS is constructed as follows: (10) where S FTS indicates the comprehensive index value of farmland transfer, S FDS indicates the comprehensive index value of financial development, and C indicates the coupling degree of the FTS and FDS in the i year, C ∈ [0, 1]. When the coupling degree tends to 1, the better the coupling degree is, and the coupling state between the FTS and FDS elements reaches "Benign resonance" and tends to the ordered structure.…”

The farmland transfer system (FTS) and rural financial development system (FDS) are economic systems with extensive connotation and coupling characteristics, and the interactive development of these systems is of great significance to rural economic growth. This study takes 10 provinces in western China as the research object and establishes a multi-index evaluation system. The entropy method, coupling coordination model and panel vector autoregression model (PVAR) were used to explore the comprehensive development level, coupled coordination degree and interaction of the FTS and the FDS in western China. The following results can be drawn: (1) the comprehensive development level of the FTS in western China is much higher than that of the FDS in both time and space; and (2) the FTS and FDS in western China have a strong correlation. The two subsystems interact with each other and restrict and promote each other, and their coupling coordination degree is optimized year by year. However, the coupling coordination degree and relative development level of each province vary by the economic development level, natural resources, agricultural productivity level and financial development structure of each province. (3) The FTS and FDS have the greatest effect on themselves, respectively, and the effect of the FTS on the FDS is greater than that of the FDS on the FTS. We suggest that the government strengthen support for rural financial institutions and speed up the market-oriented reform of agricultural land, rural finance and other production factors to realize the long-term mechanism of coordinated development of the FTS and FDS.
