ABSTRACT

In order to study the impact of digital economy on agricultural green development and its internal logic, based on measuring the level of agricultural green development by SBM model and GML index, 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2020 were selected. (The same below) panel data to analyze the impact of digital economy on the green development of agriculture. The results show that: 1) the development degree of digital economy will significantly promote the green development of agriculture; 2) The improvement effect of digital economy on agricultural green development showed significant heterogeneity in different regions, with the improvement coefficient of 0.137 in the eastern region, 0.115 and 0.319 in the northern and southern parts of the Qinling-Huaihe River Line, and 0.068 in the southeastern part of the Hu Line. This shows that the development of digital economy has promoted the promotion of green agricultural development in the eastern region, the areas on both sides of the Qinling-Huaihe River Line and the areas on the southeast side of the Hu Line. According to the results of this study, we should expand the application scenarios of digital technology in our agricultural modernization construction, strengthen the construction of agricultural data resources, and actively promote the moderately scaled intensive agriculture development.
