    Based on the panel data of 30 provincial administrative regions (except Xizang Autonomous Region, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) in China from 2014 to 2022,this paper constructed an evaluation index system of new quality productivity and agricultural high-quality development,used entropy method to obtain the level of new quality productivity and high-quality agricultural development,and calculated the coupling coordination degree of new quality productivity and high-quality agricultural development. Kernel density estimation, Moran index and Thiel index were further used to analyze the spatio-temporal evolution and regional differences of the coupling coordination level between new quality productivity and high-quality agricultural development, the obstacle degree model was used to diagnose and analyze the obstacle factors of the two subsystems. The results showed that the level of new quality productivity was stable and improved,with a pattern of high in the east and low in the west; the coupling and coordination level of new quality productivity and high-quality agricultural development in eastern,central and western regions showed a step distribution from high to low and the spatial correlation was significant. The differences of the coupling coordination degree of the four regions mainly came from the intra-regional differences,and the differences showed a deepening trend. Based on those,this paper put forward some suggestions on improving new quality productivity according to local conditions,giving full play to the radiation role of developed areas and strengthening basic agricultural research,so as to provide reference for promoting the coupling development of new quality productivity and agricultural quality in our country.

    Improving agricultural resilience is one of the key factors to accelerate the realization of agricultural and rural modernization. This paper is based on China’s provincial panel data from 2011 to 2020, this paper uses two-way fixed effect model, threshold effect model and spatial Durbin model to analyze the impact of agricultural industry agglomeration on agricultural resilience. The results show that agricultural industry agglomeration has a significant role in promoting agricultural resilience, and its effect is more obvious in non-main grain producing areas. During the study period, agricultural industrial agglomeration mainly improves the resilience level by improving the ability to resist risks and recover and reconstruct innovation. Affected by digital inclusive finance and human capital level, the promoting effect of agricultural industrial agglomeration on agricultural resilience shows nonlinear characteristics; Further analysis shows that agricultural industry agglomeration not only improves the resilience of local agriculture, but also improves the resilience of neighboring areas to a greater extent. Therefore, it is necessary to encourage all regions to adopt policies according to local conditions, create favorable external conditions for agricultural development, promote regional coordinated development, comprehensively and multi-level improve China’s agricultural resilience, and accelerate the building of an agricultural power.

    Exploring the blocking effect of farmers’ professional cooperatives on poverty return has important theoretical and practical significance for consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation and connecting rural revitalization. This paper was based on the data of rural households in 29 provincial level administrative regions of China from CLDS database in 2014, 2016 and 2018, established a DID model to make theoretical analysis and empirical test on the blocking effect of farmers’ professional cooperatives on poverty return. The research showed that the establishment of farmers’ professional cooperatives had significant effects on the improvement of the economic level of rural families, and played a role in blocking poverty return. Farmers’ professional cooperatives had varying effects on the blocking of poverty return across geographical areas. Farmers’ professional cooperatives increased the income of farmers in non-ethnic areas and non-border areas, but had no significant impacts on ethnic areas and border areas. The mechanism of farmers’ professional cooperatives in blocking poverty return is mainly reflected in the reduction of agricultural economic income sources and improvement of farmers’ well-being. Therefore, to fully utilize the function of farmers’ professional cooperatives, the government should focus on improving the infrastructure construction in ethnic areas and border areas, try to establish trans-regional cooperation mechanisms. At the same time, guide farmers’ production and operation to concentrate on the development of advantageous industries and fully mobilize the subjective initiative of farmers.

    It has a great theoretical and practical significance to better promote the Chinese path to modernization by accelerating the modernization of the “agriculture, rural areas and farmers”. Based on the data of Xizang from 2013 to 2022, this paper selected 12 indicators from the three dimensions of agricultural modernization, rural modernization and peasant modernization to construct an evaluation index system for the modernization level of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” in Xizang, and used the entropy weight TOPSIS method and grey correlation model to empirically analyze the modernization level and its influencing factors of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” in Xizang. The results showed that the modernization level of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” areas in Xizang was generally stable and improving; the dimension of agricultural modernization had gradually become a weak link in the modernization development of Xizang's “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” areas; the amount of chemical fertilizer usage, the total grain output, the number of rural employees, the average number of cars per 100 rural households, the per capita self-owned housing area in rural areas, and the number of township health personnel were the core factors affecting the modernization level of Xizang's “agriculture, rural areas and farmers”. Therefore, countermeasures and suggestions were put forward from the six indicators with a correlation degree of less than 0.8, namely, the total power of agricultural machinery, the total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, rural electricity consumption, the number of employees in mass cultural undertakings, the per capita disposable income of rural areas, and the per capita consumption expenditure of rural residents.

    Family farms represent the leading direction of China’s agricultural management mode and are the backbone of food production. This paper is based on the survey data of 514 family farms in Yunnan Province, this paper established an evaluation index system of family farm capital endowment. On the basis of analyzing the characteristics of family farm capital endowment by entropy method and single factor analysis of variance, it further explored the influence of various types of capital endowment on the “grain-oriented” of heterogeneous family farms by using binary Logit model and Tobit model. The results showed that: (1) the degree of “grain-oriented” in family farms was low, with 56% of the farms growing grain and 39.3% of the farming area; The comprehensive capital endowment score is 0.337, and the scores of various capital endowments are human capital endowment, financial capital endowment, natural capital endowment and physical capital endowment in descending order. (2)Comprehensive capital endowment has a significant negative impact on the “grain-oriented” of family farms, in which financial capital endowment has a significant negative impact and natural capital endowment has a significant positive impact.(3)There are significant differences in the influence of different capital endowments on the “grain-oriented” of heterogeneous family farms. According to this, it is recommended to implement the grain subsidy policy, improve the land transfer and farmland use supervision system, and implement classified and precise policies to promote the production and operation of family farms to “grain-oriented” and ensure national food security.

    Farmer cooperatives have both economic and social functions, and are the organizational carriers for promoting agricultural efficiency and farmers’ income. In recent years, the development of farmer cooperatives has shown considerable changes in membership heterogeneity, and the impact of this change on the performance of cooperatives needs to be studied in depth. This paper is based on 403 cooperatives samples in Yibin City, Sichuan Province, this study analyzed the dual effects of multidimensional member heterogeneity on the economic and social performance of cooperatives. The research indicated that the returning identity of leader farmers, the number of family farm members, and the establishment of primary-level Party organizations significantly positively affected the economic and social performance of farmer cooperatives. Therefore, it is necessary to encourage and support returning farmers to establish cooperatives independently, support the integrated and innovative development of “cooperatives + family farms” and promote the inter-embedded development of “cooperatives + party branches”.

    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.

    Agriculture and animal husbandry is the foundation of economic and social development in Inner Mongolia, directly related to the common prosperity of farmers and herdsmen and the coordinated development of urban and rural areas. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the development momentum of Inner Mongolia's agriculture and animal husbandry has been strong, and it has become the country's “grain depot”“meat depot”“milk cans”and“velvet are”. It plays an important role in guaranteeing the stable and safe supply of national food and important agricultural products. However, the development of agriculture and animal husbandry in Inner Mongolia has received extensive attention from government departments and experts and scholars due to the prominent problems such as tightening resource and environmental constraints, weak agricultural infrastructure, low degree of integration of the three industries, weak scientific and technological support capacity, imperfect agricultural insurance system and so on.On July 12-14, 2024,the Agricultural Modernization Branch of China Association of Agricultural Science Societies, the Inner Mongolia Agricultural Economics Society and Inner Mongolia Academy of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Sciences organized industry experts and scholars to discuss and exchange the development strategies of agriculture and animal husbandry in Inner Mongolia. The goal was to provide guidance for Inner Mongolia to complete the task of“construction of national important agricultural and livestock products production base”, to carry the major political responsibility of guaranteeing national food security, and to accelerate the construction of agricultural and animal husbandry strong area. In view of those, this feature collated the views and suggestions of experts and scholars, in order to cause the further reflection on agiculture and animal husbandry in Inner Mongolia.

    It is of great significance for ensuring food security, promoting the protection and sustainable use of cultivated land resources to quantitatively analysis the multifunctional spatiotemporal differentiation pattern and its changing characteristics of cultivated land in Anhui Province, and reveal relevant influencing factors. The methods, such as entropy method, GIS spatial visualization analysis, and grey correlation degree method, are used in this paper to study the spatiotemporal differentiation and influencing factors of multifunctional farmland from 2000 to 2020 in Anhui Province. The results of this study indicate that: (1)The trend of changes in various functions of cultivated land is not the same, with a significant increase in grain production and economic contribution functions year by year, while ecological maintenance functions and social security functions are gradually showing a downward trend; (2)There are significant differences in the spatial distribution of multifunctional farmland, with high levels of grain production functions distributed in the northern Anhui plain, high levels of economic contribution functions mainly distributed in the southern Anhui mountainous areas, high levels of ecological maintenance functions located in the Yangtze River plain, and high levels of social security functions mainly located in the Yangtze River plain and southern Anhui mountainous areas;(3)The main influencing factors are shifting from natural geographical conditions such as per capita arable land area and land reclamation rate to social, economic, and agricultural technological conditions such as urbanization rate, per capita disposable income of rural residents, and total driving force of agricultural mechanization. The above results provide important theoretical support to formulate regional differentiation and diversification policies for farmland protection and utilization in Anhui Province.

    This paper used the data from the Xiamen Special Economic Zone Yearbook (2011—2022) as the research sample, a partial least squares regression analysis method was used to construct a partial least squares regression model for the relationship between urbanization and the total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, labor resources, financial support for agriculture funds, and disposable income of farmers in Xiamen. Empirical analysis was conducted on the relationship between urbanization and coordinated development of agricultural economy in Xiamen. The obtained model was then tested and showed strong explanatory power for urbanization. Among the selected indicators, per capita disposable income of rural residents, agricultural output value, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery services, labor resources, and financial support for agriculture had significant impacts on urbanization and were the main influencing factors for urbanization development. The research results indicated that the output value of fisheries had some explanatory effects on urbanization, but had negative effects on the development of urbanization. The output value of animal husbandry had no significant impact on urbanization development, indicating that the production capacity of animal husbandry was still relatively low. Therefore, suggestions were proposed that Xiamen should actively explore the development model of smart animal husbandry and fishery, accelerate the transformation of fishery production, and steadily expand modern aquaculture; precise plan the pig farming scale and moderately improve the pork self-sufficiency rate, to provide reasonable references for achieving urban-rural integration development and implementing rural revitalization strategy.

    The integration of fruit industrial and tourism industrial is an important part of rural cultural and tourism development, and is an important path for fruit tree planting areas in Shanxi Province to achieve rural revitalization and common prosperity. By analyzing the planting area, yield and layout characteristics of orchards in 26 fruit industry cluster counties in Shanxi Province, it was found that the fruit industry cluster areas in Shanxi Province were distributed in basins and hilly areas, forming a pattern with Linyi as the core, Yuncheng as the main production area, Shanxi Province's low altitude north-south ecological corridor as the axis, Jinzhong as the secondary core area, and Changzhi, Datong and Linfen as the radiating areas. On the basis of analyzing the current situation of the integration of fruit industrial and tourism industrial, the development level of integration between fruit and tourism industries was evaluated through location quotient, entropy weight method, coupled scheduling and grey correlation method. It was found that the integration between fruit and tourism industries was still in its infancy, and the connection between fruit and tourism was not close. Thus, this paper summarized the development trend of fruit and tourism industries indtegration in Shanxi Province's fruit industry cluster area. Based on the above research results, this paper provided targeted suggestions to optimize the path of fruit and tourism industrial indtegration in Shanxi Province.

    This paper utilized panel data of 30 provinces, autonomous regions and cities (except Xizang Autonomous Region, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) from 2010 to 2019, to measure the degree of coupling coordination between government and public environmental attention. It empirically tested their impacts on agricultural carbon emissions and the mechanisms. The results revealed that the increase in government and public environmental attention could suppress agricultural carbon emissions, with the inhibitory effect of government environmental attention being greater than that of public environmental attention. Further analysis indicated there was regional heterogeneity in the impacts of government and public environmental attention on agricultural carbon emissions. Both types of attention suppressed agricultural carbon emissions by promoting formal and informal environmental regulations. Consequently, this paper suggested differentiated strategies for adjusting environmental attention.

    With the development of regional economy integration and the agriculture modernization, the role of agricultural outward investment in agricultural product trade is becoming increasingly prominent. Based on the agricultural trade data between China and RCEP countries from 2004 to 2019, the VAR model was used to further analyze the impact of China's agricultural OFDI on agricultural trade among RCEP member countries. The research suggestsd that in the long run, China's outward foreign direct investment in agriculture would give China a sustained positive impact on agricultural trade with other RCEP member countries, and there was heterogeneity in the magnitude of the impact of China's outward agricultural investment on different member countries; China's agricultural OFDI would promote agricultural cooperation and development in RCEP economies. Therefore, it is recommended that powerful agricultural enterprises should actively “go global” and flexibly adjust the foreign investment strategies based on trade conditions to maximize the sustained growth of agricultural product trade in the RCEP economy.

    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.

    As a new agricultural operating entity, family farms play an important role in ensuring national food security. In recent years, the phenomenon of some cultivated land being “non-grain transformation” due to their large-scale operation had attracted academic attention. This paper used the Logit binary model and Tobit model to empirically analyze data from 182 family farms in Jingdong County. The results indicated that within a certain range, the increase in land transfer area significantly increased the probability of family farms growing food crops. However, the increase in the proportion of land transfer area in the total land area had a negative impact on the probability of planting food crops. In addition, factors such as farmer characteristics, labor characteristics, farm characteristics, and financial characteristics also had a profound impact on the planting structure of family farms. Based on this, the government should stabilize land relations, increase special financial support, establish demonstration family farms, and strictly control the use of arable land, improve the enthusiasm of family farms for grain cultivation, and ensure national food security.

    As one of the important grain production bases in China, Hubei Province's agricultural carbon emissions are related to the balance between the ecological environment and economic development, and has great significance for achieving the goal of sustainable development. The emission coefficient method was used to measure the total amount, intensity and composition of agricultural carbon emissions in Hubei Province from 2005 to 2022, and the decoupling relationship with economic development and agricultural carbon emissions, as well as the influencing factors of agricultural carbon emissions were analysed based on the Tapio decoupling model and the LMDI model, respectively. The results showed that: from 2005 to 2022, the agricultural carbon emissions in Hubei Province show a trend of increasing and then decreasing; in the composition of the agricultural carbon emissions in Hubei Province, were as follows: fertiliser, pesticide, diesel, agricultural film, irrigation and sowing; the intensity of the agricultural carbon emissions decreased year by year; the decoupling elasticity between agricultural carbon emissions from the economic growth showed the evolution of the trend from a weak decoupling to a strong decoupling; the level of agricultural economic development had the most obvious promotion effect on agricultural carbon emissions, and agricultural production efficiency also had a certain promotion effect on carbon emissions, but the result was not significant; the size of the agricultural population and the structure of the agricultural industry could inhibit the growth of carbon emissions. Based on this, Hubei Province should base on the basic advantages of a large agricultural province, fully explore the potential of agricultural emission reduction and carbon fixation, strengthen agricultural technological innovation, and improve the quality of agricultural labour to promote carbon emission reduction.

    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.

    With the in-depth implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, the deep integration of agriculture, culture and tourism has become a key hand in promoting rural economic development and rural cultural revitalization. As one of the five major pastoral areas in China, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has multiple resource endowments such as animal husbandry, nomadic folk landscape, traditional villages, etc. The degree of integration of agriculture, culture and tourism has been deepening and has formed pastoral culture and tourism industry with its own characteristics. In this background, this study took the development of Inner Mongolia’s pastoralism, culture and tourism industry as an example, constructed an evaluation index system. Using the entropy value method and the coupling coordination degree model to evaluated the coupling coordination degree of the animal husbandry, cultural industry and tourism industry in Inner Mongolia from 2010 to 2022. The results showed that the average coupling degree of animal husbandry, culture and tourism from 2010—2022 was 0.925, and there was a high degree of coupling among the three industries. The average coupling coordination degree of animal husbandry, culture and tourism was 0.350, and the three industries were in the stage of mild imbalance. In general, the pastoral culture and tourism industry in Inner Mongolia had some problems such as low degree of coupling coordination, slow improvement and unstable development. Accordingly, it puts forward countermeasures and suggestions to further improve the integration and development level of the pastoral, cultural and tourism industry.

    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.
