  Based on panel data for 30 provinces in China, excluding the Xizang Autonomous Region and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan from 2011 to 2021, this study constructs a comprehensive evaluation index system to measure the level of new quality productivity and agricultural economic resilience, followed by exploring the effect and mechanism of the influence of new quality productivity on the agricultural economic resilience by means of the bidirectional fixed effect model and the mediation model. The results of the study showed that new quality productivity significantly increased the level of agricultural economic resilience and the finding still holds after a series of robustness tests. Further analysis revealed that new productivity mainly enhances resilience by strengthening the resistance and recovery capabilities of the agricultural economy. In addition, it was also found that new productivity could empower the resilience of the agricultural economy by promoting the upgrading of the rural consumption structure and enhancing the entrepreneurial vitality of rural residents, which possessed a significant role in promoting the resilience of the agricultural economy in both food-producing and non-food-producing areas, with food-producing areas being stronger than non-food-producing areas. Based on these, it is suggested to create a favorable environment for the development of new quality productivity, promote deep integration of new quality productivity with the agricultural economy, formulate differentiated agricultural development policies, and accelerate the realization of the strategic goal of a strong agricultural country.

  The key to promoting high-quality agricultural development is to optimize agricultural production input and improve agricultural production efficiency. Based on statistical data from 12 leagues and cities in Inner Mongolia, this study used a three-stage DEA model to measure the agricultural production efficiency of rural and pastoral areas in Inner Mongolia. The results showed that, without excluding the effects of environmental factors and random errors, the agricultural production efficiency in rural and pastoral areas of Inner Mongolia was at a relatively high level, after excluding the effects of environmental factors and random errors, the comprehensive technical efficiency and pure technical efficiency of agricultural production in rural and pastoral areas of Inner Mongolia decreased, while scale efficiency increased; in addition, per capita disposable income of farmers and herdsmen, agricultural, forestry and water affairs expenditures, transportation conditions, etc. all had a significant positive effect on agricultural production efficiency, while urbanization level of urbanization had a significant negative effect. Therefore, this paper proposes some measures such as optimizing the government’s financial expenditure structure for agriculture, improving the level of agricultural resource allocation, appropriately expanding agricultural production scale, and advancing the modernization of agriculture, etc in orde to promote the stable improvement of agricultural production efficiency in rural and pastoral areas of Inner Mongolia.

  Agricultural modernization is an important content of comprehensively promoting the construction of socialist modernization, and agriculture is a weak industry, which needs continuous support and assistance from the government. Based on the theoretical analysis of sci-tec innovation inputs on the improvement of agricultural productivity, the article take nine provinces and regions in the Yellow River basin from 2010 to 2021 as the research object, constructed the evaluation system of agricultural modernization, and analyzd the effectiveness of government inputs in promoting the process of agricultural modernization through panel regression model. The study shows that sci-tec innovation inputs played a very limited role and had a significant effect in promoting farm mechanization operations in the upper and middle reaches. The core of government assistance in agricultural development was to enhance agricultural productivity. In further research, through the coupling analysis of sci-tech innovation inputs, non-sci-tech innovation inputs on agricultural productivity, it was found that the primary reason for the limited effect of sci-tech innovation input on agricultural modernization in 9 provinces of the Yellow River basin was the imbalance between sci-tech innovation input and agricultural production efficiency. Accordingly, relevant policy recommendations are put forward to lay a theoretical foundation for further optimizing government inputs and taking the “last mile” of agricultural scientific and technological achievements transformation.

  Taking the Yangtze River Economic Belt as the research object, based on the panel data from 2006 to 2021, the coupled coordination degree model was first used to estimate and analyze the level of agricultural pollution reduction and carbon synergistic development in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. On this basis, the distribution of the coupled coordination degree level of agriculture in the Yangtze River Economic Belt was elaborated, and then the Dagum Gini coefficient was used to analyze the spatial differences of the cooperative development level. Finally, a regression model was established to analyze the influencing factors for the level of cooperative development of agricultural pollution reduction and carbon reduction in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. It was found that there were obvious spatial differences in the coordination level of pollution reduction and carbon reduction in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, with an overall upward trend, and the supervariable density contributing the most to the spatial differentiation. The coupling coordination degree of pollution reduction and carbon reduction in the Yangtze River Economic Belt was barely coordinated in 2006, but the other years were on the verge of imbalance. Specifically, the coupling coordination degree of pollution reduction and carbon reduction in the upstream region was better than that in other regions as a whole, while the collaborative development performance of agricultural pollution reduction and carbon reduction in Chongqing and Shanghai was relatively outstanding, basically stabilizing at the primary coordination level; the effects of mechanization level, rural education level, industrial structure, rural economic level and financial support for agriculture on the level of coordinated development of agricultural pollution reduction and carbon reduction in the Yangtze River Economic Belt vary somewhat by region.
