Evolution and focal features of China’s agricultural green development policies: Text analysis based on attention perspective
Abstract
[Objective] Green development is an important direction for the structural reform and transformation and upgrading of modern agriculture. Exploring the evolution of government attention to policies on agricultural green development can provide theoretical references for future policy formulation and implementation. [Methods] From the perspective of attention, combined with the theoretical model of punctuated equilibrium, this study applied text mining methods such as high-frequency word identification, co-occurrence word analysis, and keyword clustering through Python to analyze 1535 policy documents related to agricultural green development from 1984 to 2022. [Results] The study found that: (1) From the historical evolution of attention allocation, it can be seen that China’s agricultural green development policies have experienced three stages: exploration, construction, and consolidation and deepening. There were differences in the focus of government attention to agricultural green development policies in different periods; leading enterprises were important subjects for promoting agricultural transformation, upgrading, and green development. (2) From the perspective of focus configuration, China’s agricultural green development began with a top-down system engineering aimed at protecting the ecological environment. Technological innovation ran through the entire process of government attention to agricultural green development, and was the fundamental driving force for agricultural transformation, upgrading, and green development. [Conclusion] With the proposal of the rural revitalization strategy, the economic benefits in the process of agricultural green development are becoming increasingly prominent, and local governments should actively explore new paths and new methods of the integration of agricultural production and agricultural tourism under the premise of meeting the needs of ecological civilization construction, and take leading enterprises as the traction to help the industrialized operation of households in rural areas, and boost the green transformation and upgrading of China’s agriculture and high-quality development.
