Measurement of the modernization level of Chinese style agriculture and rural areas and analysis of influencing factors
Based on panel data from 31 provinces in China from 2013 to 2021,this study constructs an evaluation index system for the modernization level of Chinese style agriculture and rural areas,and uses the entropy weight method to calcu-late the modernization level of Chinese style agriculture and rural areas in each province.Furthermore,the Dagum Gini coef-ficient was used to empirically analyze the differences and spatiotemporal evolution patterns of the modernization level of Chinese style agriculture and rural areas in different regions,and the spatiotemporal differences in the impact of economic,production,human resources and other factors on the modernization level of Chinese style agriculture and rural areas were carefully examined through geographical detectors.The results indicate that the overall development level of Chinese style agricultural and rural modernization is gradually increasing year by year and there is regional heterogeneity,with the highest level of Chinese style agricultural and rural modernization in the eastern region,followed by the central region,and the lowest in the western region.The uneven development of Chinese style agriculture and rural modernization in different re-gions is mainly caused by regional differences.From the perspective of regional differences,the difference in the moderniza-tion level of Chinese style agriculture and rural areas among provinces in the eastern region is the largest,while the differ-ence in the central region is the smallest;From the perspective of regional differences,the Gini coefficient of the moderniza-tion level of Chinese style agriculture and rural areas between the western and eastern regions is the highest,while the Gini coefficient between the central and western regions is the lowest.The per capita GDP of rural areas,government support,and modernization of rural industries are the decisive factors that lead to the differentiation of Chinese style agricultural and rural modernization.Based on this,suggestions are proposed to effectively improve the agricultural and rural modernization system,create new rural service models in multiple dimensions,and coordinate and integrate agricultural and rural resources,in order to comprehensively drive the continuous improvement of the level of Chinese style agricultural and rural modernization.
