An Empirical Analysis of Chinese Provincial Low Carbon Agriculture Development
In order to promote the environment-friendly and resource-saving social development,low carbon agriculture is the inevitable choice.With the popularization of the concept of low carbon agriculture,there has been few research on its development condition and current problems in China.Based on the panel data from 2000 to 2010 and using three-step method,low carbon agriculture development situation and problems between provinces in China were analyzed by Agricultural-carbon-emissions model,SBM model and Efficiency-convergence model.The agricultural carbon emissions from 2000 to 2010 in China were calculated and the causes of performance gaps between provinces were discussed.Empirical analysis of provincial low carbon agriculture development performance and its convergence was done.It is concluded that:(i) the agricultural carbon emission is increasing year by year in most provinces of China;(ii) there is an inverted Kuznets curve relation between agricultural development and agricultural carbon emissions;(iii) chemical fertilizers and agricultural films have been identified as the main source of agricultural carbon emissions; (iv) the provincial performance of low carbon agriculture meets Potter hypothesis and the efficiency value of the panel data has convergence.In view of the provincial resource condition,countermeasures and suggestions in system,technology and education,were put forward to promote the development of low carbon agriculture.
