| The supply-side structural reform of agriculture offers new opportunities for agricultural green development,endows it with new connotations,and puts forward new requirements for agricultural green development.Only by clarifying the direction of agricultural green development can we fundamentally improve the quality of agricultural green development.To clarify the direction of agricultural green development,it is necessary to evaluate the level of agricultural green development.In terms of evaluating the level of agricultural green development of a region,the most direct way is to establish a scientific and reasonable evaluation index system to measure its agricultural green level.Drawing from theories concerning industrial structure optimization,sustainable development,and green growth,along with expert insights and extant literature,this thesis examines agricultural green development in Shandong Province,set against the backdrop of agricultural supply-side structural reform.The investigation utilizes an assortment of metrics,categorised into three primary indicators—supply quality,supply structure,and supply utility—as well as four secondary indicators:environmental benefits,resource efficiency,structural rationality,and economic income.Additionally,a robust set of 14 tertiary indicators is employed to create a multifaceted evaluation indicator system.The results show that:(1)In the past decade,Shandong Province has made a steady and consistent improvement in agricultural green development.The agricultural green development index in Shandong Province surged from 0.11 in 2011 to 0.94 in 2020,marking a substantial increment of 0.83;(2)Of the secondary indicators,the environmental benefits index experienced the most significant growth,climbing from 0.01 in 2011 to 0.45 in 2020,a cumulative increase of 0.44;(3)The supply structure index manifested a U-shaped growth trend.Between 2011 and 2015,the supply structure index fluctuated,stabilizing and rising post-2016,yielding a cumulative increase of 0.12;(4)The income utility index followed a trend of fluctuating rise.From 2011 to 2016,this index oscillated between 0.04 and 0.02,hitting its nadir in 2016,before commencing its ascent post-2017;(5)Supply quality consistently improved,and the resource efficiency index surged from 0.07 in 2016 to 0.18.Based on empirical measurement results,analyze the current situation and difficulties of agricultural green development in Shandong Province under the background of agricultural supply side structural reform,and propose feasible paths to improve the level of agricultural green development in Shandong Province,including:(1)constructing a standardized system for agricultural green development and clarifying the direction of agricultural green development;(2)Intensify the transformation of agricultural green supply structure and improve the efficiency of agricultural green development;(3)Improve the trading market system for agricultural green products and form a driving force for agricultural green development;(4)Improve the green technology innovation system and strengthen the scientific and technological momentum of agricultural green development. |
