“…Early studies on industrial integration focused on the communication industry. For example, Freeman et al [24] argue that industrial integration helps to achieve economies of scope, but Cao et al [25] and Amir et al [26] find that industrial integration also has a polarization effect and thus can harm certain disadvantaged industries. Specifically for rural industrial integration, there is an academic consensus on the poverty reduction effects of industrial integration.…”

Agricultural non-point pollution has become a hot topic of social concern, and the three major industries in modern rural areas gradually tend to integrate. An in-depth study of the impact of rural industrial integration on agricultural non-point pollution has important guiding significance for the realization of sustainable agricultural development. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces and municipalities in China from 2011 to 2019, this paper explores the impact of rural industrial integration on agricultural non-point source pollution and further examines the moderating effect of urbanization. The main findings are as follows. First, there is a significant inverted U-shaped relationship between rural industrial integration and agricultural non-point source pollution. At present, rural industrial integration has a tendency of alleviating agricultural non-point source pollution. Second, urbanization has a moderating effect on the impact of rural industrial integration on agricultural non-point source pollution, moving the turning point of the curve to the left, which can accelerate the arrival of the emission reduction effect of rural industrial integration. Finally, the heterogeneity test shows that compared to areas with developed economies and weak financial support, the inverted U-shaped relationship between rural industrial integration and agricultural non-point source pollution is more significant in regions with underdeveloped economies and strong financial support. The above studies enrich the relevant literature on rural industrial integration and agricultural non-point source pollution and provide a theoretical basis for the government to formulate relevant policies for promoting the development of rural industrial integration and alleviating agricultural non-point source pollution.

“…Grain security is "the top concern for the country" [1,2]. Grain security in the new era has a rich connotation, which requires a practical promotion of the high-quality production of grain to achieve the goals of quantitative, qualitative, and ecological grain security in a synergistic manner.…”

Based on the survey data of five large grain-producing provinces in China, we have studied the promotion effect of the agricultural production trusteeship on the high-quality production of grain by using a propensity score matching method. The empirical results show that the high-quality production of the grain level increases by 0.292, with an increase of 87.4% after farm households participate in agricultural production trusteeship. The level of high efficiency, premiumization, greenization, and branding of grain production increased by 0.234, 0.373, 0.208, and 0.158, respectively. However, there are differences in the facilitation effects of different trusteeship services, with the best promotion effect of agricultural material supply services, followed by post-harvest services, and then land management services and cultivating and harvesting services. The average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) is 0.287, 0.230, 0.158, and 0.139, respectively. Meanwhile, there are differences in the promotion effects for farm households with different factor endowments. The promotion effect is better for small farm households with three laborers or less, a land management scale of 10 mus or less, and one type of agricultural machinery or less. Therefore, in order to give full play to the promotion effect of agricultural production trusteeship on high-quality production of grain, the government should vigorously support its development and guide more smallholders to choose agricultural production trusteeship.

“…In this case, ensuring sustainable grain security remains an important issue in China. As land use is the major contributor to carbon emissions in the supply chain of agricultural products [16], it is urgent to stabilize grain production at a low carbon level, or in other words, improve the efficiency of carbon emissions from the grain production industry [17]. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate global warming and promote sustainable agricultural development, the government needs to implement a series of environmental regulation policies [18].…”

Examining the impact of heterogeneous environmental regulations on the carbon emission efficiency of the grain production industry will help to provide a theoretical basis and decision-making reference for achieving the goal of carbon peaking and sustainable agricultural development. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China, the DEA-SBM method was used to measure the grain production industry’s carbon emission efficiency from 2011 to 2019. Separating environmental regulations into formal environmental regulations and informal environmental regulations in two parts, then the two-way fixed effect model, threshold effect model, and intermediary effect model are used to test the influence of heterogeneous environmental regulations on the grain production industry’s carbon emission efficiency. The results show that: (1) the grain production industry’s carbon emission efficiency continues to improve but still has space for improvement. (2) the relationship between formal environmental regulations and the grain production industry’s carbon emission efficiency exhibits a “U-shaped” curve; informal environmental regulations have a significantly positive effect on improving the grain production industry’s carbon emission efficiency. The conclusion is still valid after the robustness test. (3) A threshold mechanism test found that there is a single threshold effect between the formal environmental regulations and the grain production industry’s carbon emission efficiency, but it does not cross the “U” inflection point. (4) there is a “U” shaped non-linear mediating effect in the influence of formal environmental regulations on the grain production industry’s carbon emission efficiency; informal environmental regulations also have an intermediary transmission path of production agglomeration of the grain production industry. This study supplies a new perspective for promoting the grain production industry’s carbon emission efficiency.
