Coupling Coordination Analysis Between Farmland Transfer and Agricultural Eco-Efficiency in China by Xiuli He, Wenxin Liu

“…The following conclusions can be drawn from the results: (1) The level of farmland transfer in China exhibits an overall upward trend, primarily influenced by the average farmland area per household in each region and the number of large grain producers, with Heilongjiang consistently maintaining the highest level. (2) The agricultural eco-efficiency value remains relatively stable at approximately 1.1, with high-efficiency areas concentrated in Beijing, Qinghai, Hainan, Shanghai, Fujian, and Guizhou, where lower agricultural carbon emissions are a significant influencing factor. (3) The coupling degree between farmland transfer and agricultural eco-efficiency in various provinces of China is predominantly in a state of adjustment, with the coupling coordination level improving year by year. …”
