“…Therefore, government intervention should be controlled in agricultural research. In addition, agricultural development is affected by the local industrial structure 77 , so it is necessary to consider the upgrading of the industrial structure and the status of the agricultural industry in local development. Finally, agricultural development is related to the degree of agricultural mechanisation 78,79 .…”

The development of high-standard farmland (HSF) constitutes a crucial strategy for enhancing agricultural infrastructure, which significantly contributes to increasing agricultural production and catalyzing agroeconomic growth. The present study devises an index system to evaluate agricultural resilience (AR) in China, anchored in the DPSIR framework, and analyzes data from 28 Chinese provinces over 2011–2021 to ascertain the effects of HSFC on AR employing fixed-effects and mediation-effects models. The study reveals that the HSFC markedly enhances AR. Specifically, in key grain production regions or the central area, the positive influence of such construction on resilience is more substantial than in non-key grain production or east-west regions. HSF fortifies AR chiefly by boosting labor productivity and increasing farmers’ income. Analysis of correlation coefficients and overall context confirms that enhanced income of farmers is the key driver in this equation. Although HSF encourages urbanization within the agricultural community, this trend may inadvertently hinder resilience improvements. While the indispensable role of HSF in promoting agricultural progress is recognized, it is crucial to address the concurrent issue of population outflow from agricultural sectors. This study contributes uniquely by integrating the DPSIR model into the exploration of AR, thereby offering a novel, proactive approach to sustainable agricultural development. Furthermore, it elucidates the mechanisms through which HSF impacts AR across three dimensions: labor productivity, farmer incomes, and population urbanization, from the farmers’ vantage point. This insight enables policymakers to refine resource allocation, enhancing the planning, design, and stewardship of sustainable agriculture.

Agriculture is faced with the need to reduce mineral fertilizers in order to reduce costs but also to meet political goals. Resilience-enhancing climate change, especially in the face of increasingly frequent and prolonged droughts, has become another issue. The dynamically increasing production of insects for feed and food purposes has become one of the answers to this challenge. This study assesses the fertilizing efficacy effect of frass derived from Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) production on lettuce (Lactuca L.) growth, including aspects such as yield, photosynthesis activity, photosystem II performance (chlorophyll fluorescence), mineral profile, and antioxidant properties. Additionally, the properties of the soil were assessed by measuring the gas exchange between the soil and the atmosphere. The lettuce plants grew under two water regimes—optimal irrigation and induced drought. The efficiency of frass fertilization was compared with the control and traditional cattle manure. The results indicate that H. illucens frass (HI frass) used as a fertilizer increased the content of essential nutrients in plants—such as potassium and iron. As the dosage of frass increased, the content of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) doubled. The plants that were subjected to drought and properly fertilized showed greater resistance; therefore, a reduction in the synthesis of polyphenolic compounds was observed. Fertilizer had a positive effect on the efficiency of photosynthesis. This study underscores the promising impact of unconventional organic fertilizers, such as H. illucens frass, on enhancing plant performance, especially in challenging environmental conditions. Fertilizers obtained from insect production can be green chemicals in a sustainable food production model.
