Digital Agriculture and Sustainable Development of Rural Environment:Mechanism of Action and Multidimensional Benefits
The issue of sustainable development of rural environment is the focus of agricultural and ru-ral work,and it is important to clarify the theoretical relationship between digital agriculture and sustainable development of rural environment for the smooth implementation of rural revitalization strategy.Based on the panel data of 30 provinces(autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central govern-ment)from 2012 to 2021,an empirical study was conducted.The study shows that there are multidimen-sional benefits of digital agriculture on sustainable development of rural environment.First,there exits mul-tifaceted benefits.Digital agriculture has a significant positive impact on the sustainable development of rural environment,which is reflected in four aspects:digital policy,digital facilities,digital application,and digital talents.Second,there exits multi-regional benefits.From the perspective of the division of prov-inces,the significance of the influence presents a"central-east-west"distribution.At the same time,there is a positive spatial spillover effect among neighboring regions.Third,there exits multi-level bene-fits.The impact of digital agriculture on the sustainable development of rural environment has a double threshold,and the intensity of the impact shows a"low-high-low"distribution as the development level of digital agriculture increases.Under the opportunity of digital agriculture development,we should pay more attention to digital agriculture,form a regional collaborative development model,and formulate devel-opment strategies that meet the characteristics of different periods and regions,so as to continuously promote the sustainable development of rural environment.
