EFFECTS OF RURAL INDUSTRIAL CONVERGENCE ON AGRICULTURAL CARBON EMISSIONS:MECHANISM PATH AND SPATIAL SPILLOVER EFFECT ANALYSIS
Cracking the problem of agricultural carbon emissions is a key measure to comprehensively promote the green transformation of agricultural development.Exploring the impact of rural industry integration on agricultural carbon emissions is helpful to expand new ways to promote the sustainable development of agriculture.Based on the provincial panel data from 2008 to 2020,this paper empirically tested the mechanism path and spatial impact of rural industry integration on agricultural carbon emissions by constructing the intermediary effect model and the spatial Durbin model.The results were listed as follows.(1)Rural industrial integration had a significant"carbon reduction effect"on agricultural carbon emissions.(2)From the perspective of input factors,rural labor outflow,land scale management and agricultural science and technology progress played an intermediary role,that was,rural industrial integration could indirectly achieve"carbon reduction effect"by optimizing the labor,land,technology and other factors.(3)Both rural industrial integration and agricultural carbon emissions had significant spatial agglomeration characteristics and positive spatial spillover effect.(4)Under the spatial influence relationship,rural industrial integration had a significant"carbon reduction effect"on agriculture in neighboring areas through the spatial spillover effect.Based on this,we should fully affirm the role of rural industry integration,continue to give full play to the guarantee role of policies,funds and technologies,deepen the process of rural industry integration,and promote the high-quality development of low-carbon agriculture.
