“…Additionally, Noflf has opposing significance and signs in models Renou and Renin that implies the families with fewer female laborers are more likely to rent out and the number of female laborers will not affect the probability of renting in. This finding also supports the previous opinion that most remaining female laborers are engaged in farm work and the behavior of renting in is dominated by males, since Noflf can be significant of female laborers would like to rent in [32,33].The parameter of Nooaf suggests that families with fewer old adults will The symbols*,**, *** indicate statistical significance at the 10, 5, and 1% levels, respectively.…”

Farmland transfer is one of the essential approaches for achieving large-scale farming and its management affects productive efficiency, environment pollution and food sustainable security supply. Present study was carried out investigation based representative agricultural development area Guanzhong Plain of Shaanxi, aimed at explore the role of biotechnology and laborers in integration of farmland toward to improve sustainable agriculture in rural China by employed the profit and Tobit models evaluation. The conclusion demonstrated that labor's and agricultural management model as main stay, intensive farming has positive effect-based economic and environmental benefits than fragmentation management, female laborers have weaker effect on farmland renting-out behavior among smallholders while male laborers were superior promoters in increasing the area of rented-in farmland and farm scale. Finally, bioengineering development and agricultural intensification management as a rational choice that has great potential value for large-scale cultivation that contributing a promising future for achieving cleaner production, environment and human health further providing huge economic and social and environmental benefits in sustainability agriculture. Additionally, government policies require intensive intervention to accelerate large-scale management and biotechnology implementation.

“…With land scarcity and off‐farm opportunities, rural Chinese households have improved labor productivity and household income by engaging in nonfarm activities, including unskilled wage work, wage employment (local wage and migration), and self‐employment (Zhang et al., 2018; Zhao, 1999). For example, between 2008 and 2016, rural Chinese households’ per capita income increased annually by about 11%.…”

“…Following Chen and Fu (2017) and Zhang et al. (2018), we use the share of households in the village participating in LRM as an IV. We adopt the simple falsification test (Di Falco & Veronesi, 2013; Kassie et al., 2015) to confirm the effectiveness of the IV, and results show that in nearly all cases, the IV is significant in LRM choices equation (Table 4) but not in the family labor productivity equation (see Tables A1 and A2), which proves the validity of the IV.…”

This study investigates the impact of the land rental market on labor productivity in rural China. Particular attention is given to farm and nonfarm labor productivity. Using 2012 household‐level data and a multinomial endogenous switching treatment regression technique, we find that rural households renting in farmland increased labor productivity in the farm sector by about 55%, whereas labor productivity in the nonfarm sector decreased by about 6%. We also find that rural households renting out farmland had lower labor productivity in both the farm and nonfarm sectors by 13% and 9%, respectively. More family labor transferred from the farm to the nonfarm sector after renting out land.

“…Unay-Gailhard and Bojnec (2019) suggested labour use and job market could be utilised to measure sustainability of economic development [ 48 ]. Household income is also regarded as an important data source by which to evaluate consumption ability and the willingness of individuals or groups in both China and developing countries to pay [ 49 – 51 ], as well as a being a means by which to support discourse on income inequality, poverty, and other economic issues [ 52 , 53 ]. The economic facet of rural planning therefore includes both synchronic (industrial chain, logistics management, job markets, economic policy, etc.)…”

Public value is gaining prominence from both academics and politicians with regards to China's rural development. However, rural planning authorities and practitioners showed limited confidence on public, which manifests as few public perceptions were integrated into the planning documents. This study explores the potential role of residents' experiences in illustrating local economic development within the context of coastal villages in which economic and industries are rapidly transforming. Two case studies from within the locale of the Greater Hangzhou Bay Rim Area are used in this article to examine the gap between residents' experiences and the actual economic development that has occurred. The main findings suggest that rural residents can directly reflect upon both current and historic trends of local economic development. Moreover, household income satisfaction (HIS) is a comprehensive notion of residents' experiences, and indicates social and economic sustainability of industrial transformation, or "thriving business", that have been highlighted in coastal villages. Public experiences could therefore act as a valid and accessible evidence for planners in rural economic planning in China and other developing countries.
