Does rural land consolidation improve the environmental efficiency of grain production? A quasi-natural experiment based on China’s high-standard farmland construction policy by Shufang Sun, Ruilin Zhang

“…A continuous difference-in-differences (DID) model is applied to examine the effects and mechanisms of the HSFC policy.ResultsThe study finds that: (1) the overall environmental efficiency of grain production in China is improving, although the rate of improvement diminishes from the eastern to the central and western regions; (2) the HSFC policy positively influences environmental efficiency, especially in the eastern region and areas with significant land transfers; and (3) the policy enhances efficiency primarily through the promotion of larger-scale farming operations and improved agricultural services.DiscussionThe findings suggest that the HSFC policy plays a key role in improving the environmental efficiency of grain production, particularly in regions with more advanced agricultural infrastructure. …”
