“…This result indicates that following the implementation of agricultural green development pilot zones, agricultural green TFP has significantly increased, indicating that policies have a significant promoting effect on agricultural green TPF. When further breaking down green TFP into EC and TC, the results in column (4) show that the interaction term is significantly positive at the 5% level, indicating a significant improvement in EC in the cities implementing the pilot zones. However, the interaction term in column (5) does not reach significance at the 10% level, suggesting no significant impact on TC.…”

“…The impact of agricultural green development pilot zones on agricultural green TFP may exhibit heterogeneity due to the influence of different institutional environments and economic and social characteristics in different regions [4]. Therefore, a further heterogeneity analysis is conducted from four aspects: region, agricultural production zone, environment, and educational resources.…”

“…As a cornerstone of societal advancement, agriculture has the dual attributes of ecology and economy; the intersection of agricultural economic development with resource and environmental concerns has garnered extensive attention from scholars and policymakers globally [1,2]. Under the dual challenges of food security crises and environmental costs, China, as the country with the largest food supply in the world, urgently needs to shift its extensive agricultural development mode to a sustainable and green development mode [3,4]. Rodale (1983) articulated that agricultural practices should foster a sustainable cycle with the environment, thereby introducing the concept of sustainable agriculture [5].…”

“…At present, China's agriculture is mostly small-scale and scattered cultivation; the main problems include insufficient levels of agricultural mechanization [12,13], excessive reliance on fertilizer inputs, environmental deterioration [14], and so on. The regional imbalance of economic development, production technology, and education level cause the green development of agriculture to face different difficulties in different regions of China [4,15,16]. Therefore, how to comprehensively improve the efficiency of agricultural development and achieve the green development of agriculture throughout the country is a long-term and important problem in China [3,10,17].…”

Green agriculture is a new sustainable agricultural development model that coordinates agricultural development with the environment which has been vigorously promoted in China in recent years. With the support of national policies, China has set up 130 pilot zones for green agricultural development. Taking these pilot zones as quasi-natural experimental areas, the difference-in-differences (DID) method and agricultural green total factor productivity are used to evaluate the effect of the policy in the pilot zones. The findings indicate that the pilot zones notably diminish non-point source agricultural pollution without affecting agricultural added value and improve agricultural green total factor productivity by improving technical efficiency. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the effectiveness of this policy varies regionally. The eastern region of China, the main agricultural producing areas, and the regions with higher initial environmental pollution levels and abundant educational resources experience more pronounced benefits. Based on the regional characteristics of different regions, this study considers the factors such as agricultural resource endowment and development basis and explores how the policy effects of agricultural green development in different regions, which has certain guiding significance for the continuous improvement in China’s agricultural green development policies.

IntroductionGiven the dual constraints of limited resources and environmental concerns, achieving green development in agriculture helps to enhance national food security, resource security, and ecological security.MethodsUtilizing panel data sourced from 30 provinces within China, spanning the years from 2001 to 2021, this paper employs the super-efficiency Slack-Based Measure (SBM) model and the Global Malmquist-Luenberger (GML) index to measure agricultural green total factor productivity (AGTFP). It utilizes methods such as the stepwise Differences in Differences (DID), mediation effect models, and moderating effect models to systematically explore the impact of the implementation of Free Trade Pilot Zones (FTPZs) on AGTFP and its mechanisms of action.ResultsThe study finds: (1) Establishing FTPZs significantly boosts AGTFP, indicating a profound positive influence; (2) The promotional effect of FTPZs on AGTFP is stronger in the eastern and central regions, as well as in major grain-producing areas; (3) FTPZs may enhance AGTFP by promoting the effect of agricultural structure upgrading, i.e., a transmission mechanism exists from FTPZs to the agricultural structure upgrading effect to AGTFP; (4) The agricultural scale effect plays a positive moderating role in the impact of FTPZs on AGTFP.DiscussionIt is advisable to optimize agricultural measures related to FTPZs, promote agricultural structural upgrading and scale enhancement, adapt strategies to local conditions to advance green agricultural development, and thereby promote the coordinated development of FTPZs and AGTFP.

Improving the efficiency of factor allocation in food production is the foundation for accelerating the formation of new quality productivity and achieving an agricultural green transformation. However, there has been no scholarly focus on their mechanisms and the interactions involved. This exploration is an important reference for enhancing the green production capacity of major grain-producing areas. In this study, 13 prefecture-level cities in Heilongjiang Province, China’s largest grain production base, were selected as the research samples. A model for identifying factor misallocation and grain green total factor productivity (AGGTFP) was constructed to identify the spatiotemporal differences in factor misallocation and green total factor productivity. A fixed effects model was used to explore the impact of single-factor misallocation and the interaction of dual-factor misallocation with AGGTFP. The results show that from 2004 to 2022, the AGGTFP in 13 prefecture-level cities in Heilongjiang Province has shown a slow growth trend. The inhibitory effects of single-factor misallocation of land, labor, and capital on green total factor productivity are sequentially enhanced. The interaction effects of capital misallocation and labor misallocation and labor misallocation and land misallocation strengthen the inhibitory effects of misallocation on the AGGTFP. Therefore, it is necessary to further promote the optimization of production factors and improve the green production capacity for grain.
