Impact of Farmers'Differentiation on Carbon Productivity of Farmland:A Case Study of Changde City
Against backdrops of the high-quality social development and the pursuit of green and low-carbon agriculture,based on the 2020 survey data of farmers in Changde city,Hunan province,the Tobit model was used to empirically test the impact of farmers'differentiation on the carbon productivity of farmland.The research results indicate that among the two variables characterizing the differentiation characteristics of farmers,the degree of occu-pational differentiation of farmers has a significant negative impact on the carbon productivity of farmland,and the income differentiation strengthens the negative impact of occupational differentiation on the carbon productivity of farmland for non-agricultural oriented farmers.The impact of income differentiation on the carbon productivity of farmland is constrained by the degree of occupational differentiation among farmers.The income differentiation has a positive impact on the carbon productivity of farmland for agricultural oriented farmers,and the occupational differ-entiation strengthens the positive impact of income differentiation on the carbon productivity of farmland for agricul-tural oriented farmers.The occupational differentiation weakens the impact of income differentiation on the carbon productivity of farmland for non-agricultural oriented farmers.In addition,among other control variables,the educa-tion level and town distance also have significant positive impacts on the carbon productivity of farmland.
