Measurement of Agricultural Green Development Level in the Three Provinces of Northeast China Under the Background of Rural Vitalization Strategy

Abstract

This paper offers an evaluation index system of agricultural green development level based on the Rural Vitalization Strategy. The evaluation index system includes four dimensions: agricultural development, ecological resource protection, environment-friendly, and industrial extension and integration. Then, the paper calculates the level of agricultural green development in the three provinces of Northeast China using the entropy-gray correlation method from 2009 to 2019. The calculation results show that between 2009 and 2019, the level of agricultural green development in the three northeastern provinces of China fluctuates and increases, and there is some variation between them: in terms of the overall level of agricultural green development Heilongjiang Province > Liaoning Province > Jilin Province, in terms of the average change speed of agricultural green development level, Heilongjiang Province > Liaoning Province > Jilin Province; in terms of each dimension, the average level of correlation degree of agricultural development dimension is Liaoning Province > Heilongjiang Province > Jilin Province, the average level of correlation degree of ecological resource protection dimension is Heilongjiang Province > Jilin Province > Liaoning Province, the average level of correlation degree of environment-friendly dimension is Heilongjiang Province > Jilin Province > Liaoning Province, and the average level of correlation degree of industrial extension and integration is Liaoning Province > Heilongjiang Province > Jilin Province. Finally, the basis of the calculation results, combined with the actual situation of agricultural development in the three provinces, the countermeasures, and suggestions for promoting the green development of agriculture are put forward. Specifically, it includes the establishment of an evaluation system for agricultural green development; strengthening the protection of agricultural ecological resources; increasing rural environmental governance; promoting the integrated development of rural tertiary industries; vigorously supporting agricultural scientific and technological innovation; and strengthening regional cooperation and other suggestions.

Inhibition or Promotion?–The Effect of Agricultural Insurance on Agricultural Green Development

“…In recent years, the Chinese government has attached great importance to agricultural green development and issued a series of guiding documents, which provides a theoretical basis for a deep understanding of the connotation of agricultural green. Based on policy research, theoretical research, and previous research (57), this article constructs an evaluation index system consisting of four dimensions and 12 indicators (see Table 1).…”

Green Development Performance Evaluation Based on Dual Perspectives of Level and Efficiency: A Case Study of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, China

“…Specifically, there are differences among similar index systems due to differences in research perspectives, research units, and research scales. (1) Green development level: International institutions and researchers have constructed corresponding indicator systems according to the different scales of the research objects, mainly focusing on economic, societal, and environmental aspects [ 7 , 8 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. (2) Green development efficiency: Based on the input-output model, scholars have constructed green development efficiency evaluation index systems, including economic input, capital input, resource input, desirable output, and undesired output [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ].…”

Green growth in agriculture―New measurement concept and its empirical verification

“…The plan sets out aspects related to production systems and increases in production factors' productivity, development or amendment of statutory and executive regulations and areas supporting the marketing of Chinese agricultural products (Deng & Zeng, 2023). Hou and Wang (2022), based on empirical results from three provinces of north‐eastern China, also demonstrated an upward trend in the greening of Chinese agriculture.…”
