“…However, agricultural environmental governance was still behind in the construction of rural roads, power grids, and water conservancy due to the limitation of agricultural resources. With China entering a new era, the government has deeply realized the importance of agricultural environmental protection, which has created a very powerful condition for agricultural environmental governance [ 9 ]. The Chinese government advocates that farmers’ production behavior should be adjusted through the “top-down” governance mode of environmental regulation.…”

Village rules and formal environmental regulations are of great significance for standardizing farmers’ cleaner production behavior, promoting green transformation of agriculture and realizing sustainable development of agriculture. Based on the survey data of 946 farmers in five provinces of China, taking seed coating technology, soil testing and formulated fertilization technology, subsoiling tillage technology, green technology for pest and disease control and straw returning technology as examples, this article empirically analyzes the impact of village rules and formal environmental regulations on farmers’ cleaner production behavior by using the multivariate probit model. When formal environmental regulations are relatively lacking or weak, village rules can be used as a useful supplement to formal environmental regulations to promote farmers’ participation in cleaner production. Based on this, this article argues that the important reason for formal environmental regulations falling into relative system failure is that village rules have not been paid enough attention in promoting farmers’ cleaner production behavior. In the future, we should not only continue to strengthen the role of formal environmental regulations in farmers’ cleaner production, but also cultivate the informal institution represented by the village rules, and build the regulatory system of mutual support between informal institution and formal institution.

“…Among them, an increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and financial expansion will result in an increase in carbon emissions [ 36 , 37 ], while an increase in agricultural output will lead to a decrease in CO 2 emissions [ 38 ]. Therefore, economic factors are one of the main reasons for the increase of greenhouse gas emissions, whose influence trend is mainly an inverse U-shaped nonlinear effect of “promote first and constrain subsequently” [ 39 ]. There are also some scholars who have added the influence of energy factors [ 40 , 41 ], productivity factors [ 42 , 43 ], labor factors, agricultural structure, and the carbon intensity of agriculture and livestock [ 44 ] to the analysis of economic factors through the LMDI model (Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index) or Kaya identity, which differ in the degree of influence they place on carbon emissions from agriculture.…”

This paper focuses on the impact of changes in planting industry structure on carbon emissions. Based on the statistical data of the planting industry in three provinces in Northeast China from 1999 to 2018, the study calculated the carbon emissions, carbon absorptions and net carbon sinks of the planting industry by using crop parameter estimation and carbon emissions inventory estimation methods. In addition, the multiple linear regression model and panel data model were used to analyze and test the carbon emissions and net carbon sinks of the planting industry. The results show that: (1). The increase of the planting area of rice, corn, and peanuts in the three northeastern provinces of China will promote carbon emissions, while the increase of the planting area of wheat, sorghum, soybeans, and vegetables will reduce carbon emissions; (2). Fertilizer application, technological progress, and planting structure factors have a significant positive effect on net carbon sinks, among which the changes in the planting industry structure have the greatest impact on net carbon sinks. Based on the comprehensive analysis, it is suggested that, under the guidance of the government, resource endowment and location advantages should be given full play to, and the internal planting structure of crops should be reasonably adjusted so as to promote the development of low-carbon agriculture and accelerate the development process of agricultural modernization.

“…Agricultural emission reduction is a binding goal incorporated into the national economy, social development and long-term planning [ 3 ]. Agricultural carbon emission reduction is an important way to improve the ability of agriculture to cope with climate change, and an important link to realize the sustainable development of agriculture [ 4 ]. How to control the carbon emission caused by agriculture sector is a complex and important issue.…”

“…The commonly decomposition model of carbon emission factors includes LMDI decomposition method, Kaya identities and STRIPAT model [ 1 , 9 , 10 ]. Most of study found that, GDP of planting industry, GDP of agriculture, regional GDP, total regional population and total rural population, agricultural production efficiency, agricultural industrial structure, industrial structure, regional economic development level, urbanization all of the factors have reflected the influencing factors of agricultural carbon emissions [ 4 , 11 , 13 ]. Based on the above literature analysis, some appropriate variables were selected in this paper, and the appropriate deformation of variables was carried out through statistical analysis.…”

Agricultural carbon emissions have become the constraints of agricultural low-carbon and circular economy development in China. China’s agricultural production faces severe pressures and challenges in agricultural carbon reduction. In this paper, we take observation for the 31 provinces in china from 1997 to 2017, to explore the influencing factors and spatial spillover effects of agricultural by estimating spatial panel data models. The results show that China’s agricultural carbon emissions will continue to increase in the future, because the growth of per capita gross domestic product (GDP) is the main driving force to accelerate the growth of agricultural carbon emissions, but the agricultural input factors will help to reduce the growth of carbon emissions. Moreover, it is proved that economic factors and agricultural input factors have direct effects and spatial spillover effects on agricultural carbon emissions except for agricultural environmental factors. In the short term, strengthening environmental protection may bring some pressure to the economic development of some places, but to achieve high-quality development, we must fundamentally solve the problem of environmental pollution. The conclusion provides important enlightenment and scientific basis for formulating effective policies to curb the growth of CO 2 emissions in China.
