Green and Low-carbon Agriculture and Socio-economic Systems Coupled and Coordinated Development:Based on Empirical Research in Tianjin
Agriculture stands as a pivotal domain in our country's pursuit of green and low-carbon development,with a closely inter-twined relationship between the advancement of green and low-carbon agriculture and socio-economic progress.This study,drawing on data from 2003 to 2021,employed a coupling coordination model to assess the coupling coordination between green and low-car-bon agriculture and socio-economic development in Tianjin.It delved into the primary driving factors behind the coupling coordina-tion of green and low-carbon agriculture with socio-economic development,aiming to propose targeted policy recommendations for the transformative development of green and low-carbon agriculture in Tianjin.The results showed:(1)both the levels of green and low-carbon agriculture and social development in Tianjin had exhibited an overall fluctuating upward trend,with the former surpassing the latter,while the economic development level showed a fluctuating downward trajectory.(2)The degree of coupling and coordination be-tween green and low-carbon agriculture and socio-economic development in Tianjin was on the rise,yet the overall coordination level remained relatively low,still in a transitional phase.(3)In the process of coupling coordination between green and low-carbon agricul-ture and socio-economic development,agricultural carbon emission intensity and fertilizer application intensity exhibited a significant negative impact,while factors such as the effective irrigation area of arable land,per capita GDP,and the Engel coefficient of urban residents played a positive role.The study suggestes that to promote the coordinated development process of green and low-carbon a-griculture with socio-economic development,it is imperative to enhance agricultural efficiency and increase farmers'income,leverag-ing regional socio-economic development for a highly coordinated advancement.
