Impact of China’s new quality agricultural productive forces on carbon emissions from grain production and its mechanism by FAN Zhennan, QIN Zhaohui, DING Zhiguo, TAN Qijia

“…[Results] (1) The new quality agricultural productive forces in China shows a continuous upward trend, and the overall regional differences are characterized by the main grain sales areas>main grain production areas>balanced production and sales areas. (2) There was a significant inhibitory effect of new quality agricultural productive forces on carbon emissions from grain production. (3) Mechanism analysis revealed that new quality agricultural productive forces mainly suppresses carbon emissions from grain production by expanding the scale of farmers’ operations. (4) Heterogeneity analysis showed that all three dimensions of new quality agricultural productive forces can reduce carbon emissions from grain production, and the carbon reduction effect was high for new agricultural workforce, followed by new agricultural means of production, and low for new agricultural objects of work; In terms of grain production functional areas and geographical locations, the carbon reduction effect of new quality agricultural productive forces mainly occurred in the main grain producing areas, production and sales balanced areas, and northern regions. (5) There was a single threshold in the process of new quality agricultural productive forces affecting carbon emissions from grain production. …”
