Can Technological Advances Effectively Contribute to the Twin Goals of Food Security and Farmers'Incomes?——The Empirical Evidence From the Provincial Panel Data
Technological progress can significantly improve the effectiveness of achieving the twin objectives of food security and farmers'income.Based on the panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2002 to 2022,this paper carries out empirical analysis through coupled coordination degree model,DEA-Malmquist index model and two-way fixed effect model of panel data.The study shows that technological progress can significantly improve the level of consistency between food security and farmers'income,in which the effect of technological change on the level of consistency between food security and farmers'income is more significant,and this conclusion still holds after a series of robustness tests.The effect of technological progress on the consistency of food security and farmers'incomes is more significant in the western region,where the level of economic development is relatively backward,and in the hilly region,where the terrain is more rugged.In addition,technological progress can indirectly contribute to the realization of the dual objectives of food security and farmers'income by promoting the improvement of the level of appropriate scale of agriculture.On this basis,this paper puts forward corresponding policy recommendations to give full play to the role of technological progress in promoting the dual objectives of food security and farmers'income.
