Effect Of Farmland Circulation In The Yellow River Basin On Agricultural Green Development Impact Study

Since the 18 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,the General Secretary has repeatedly emphasized "adhering to quality and green development of agriculture".Report to the 20 th CPC National Congress once again pointed out that it is necessary to "promote green development and promote the harmonious coexistence between man and nature"."Development" is different from "growth".Green development breaks through the short-term,utilitarian and unsustainable focus on human well-being from a single growth perspective for a long time,and profoundly reflects that the harmonious integration of man and environment will promote a great leap in productivity.In fact,green development is the fundamental meaning of global ecological construction.The concept of "Green New Deal" put forward by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon at the climate change conference for the first time shows that a new round of green revolution has risen all over the world in the 21 st century.For our country,it is of overall and forward-looking theoretical value and practical significance to explore a green agricultural development path with China characteristics.The ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin have long been highly valued by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council.Theoretically,agricultural land circulation can improve agricultural economic benefits by exerting the utilization efficiency of land resources,and promote rural surplus labor force to enter non-agricultural fields for employment,and realize the scale operation of the original agricultural land circulation,thus promoting the green development of agriculture.However,in practice,there are significant differences in resource endowments in different parts of the Yellow River Basin,and the process of farmland circulation is uneven.At the same time,in 2022,the natural population growth rate in China showed a "negative growth" trend for the first time,and the demographic dividend disappeared.In addition,a large number of young laborers moved to cities and towns,resulting in a decline in the average quality of agricultural labor,part-time employment,aging and other problems,which may further aggravate the agricultural ecological pressure.Therefore,under the background of the increasing scale of non-agricultural employment,can the agricultural land circulation in the provinces and regions of the Yellow River Basin play its due role in the green development of agriculture?Based on the provincial panel data of the Yellow River Basin from 2005 to 2020,this study constructs an index system of agricultural green development level,uses the fixed effect model to clarify the influence of agricultural land transfer on agricultural green development,and tests the intermediary effect,aiming at clarifying the influence mechanism of agricultural land transfer on agricultural green development through non-agricultural employment.Therefore,the relevant theoretical research on agricultural green development is improved,and corresponding policy suggestions are provided for promoting agricultural modernization in the Yellow River Basin.The main conclusions are as follows:(1)From 2005 to 2020,the level of agricultural green development in the nine provinces of the Yellow River Basin has improved,and the two dimensions of resource conservation and environmental friendliness are the shortcomings of the overall green development of the basin.During the study period,the average annual score of agricultural green development level was the first in Shandong and the last in Ningxia.(2)From the overall basin level,farmland circulation has a significant positive impact on the green development of agriculture,but there are differences in the direction and degree of its role in each dimension.(3)There are significant regional differences in the impact of agricultural land circulation on agricultural green development.Farmland circulation in the upper reaches of the basin has obvious promotion effect on agricultural green development,while the influence of farmland circulation in the middle and lower reaches of the basin on agricultural green development is not significant.(4)Farmland circulation promotes the green development of agriculture by promoting non-agricultural employment.Non-agricultural employment has played a complete intermediary role and a partial intermediary role in the impact of agricultural land transfer on resource conservation and environmental friendliness.Based on the above research conclusions and practical problems,this paper puts forward the following policy suggestions:(1)Promote the optimal combination of agricultural land elements,strengthen the brand effect of green food,and standardize the construction of ecological conservation.(2)Increase non-agricultural employment opportunities,establish a perfect non-agricultural employment market in rural areas,and protect the legitimate rights and interests of non-agricultural employees.(3)Increase agricultural technology research and development,promote the release of talent dividends in the agricultural sector,and promote the application of new agricultural technologies.
