Digital Technology Enables Agricultural Green Development: Internal Mechanism and Typical Practice

Abstract

Promoting agricultural green development is crucial for achieving agricultural modernization and ecological civilization. Based on the current status and problems of agricultural green development in China, this study analyzes the internal mechanism by which the digital technology enables the agricultural green development from four dimensions: factor allocation, industrial synergy, information sharing, and information feedback effects. Combined with current application practices of the digital technology in agricultural enterprises, this study explores the internal logic of enabling agricultural green development through digital technology and proposes a dual-driving force mechanism: market and government regulation. In terms of market regulation, the agricultural green development is driven by means of active pollution and carbon reduction at the production end and rising demand for green agricultural products at the consumer side. In terms of government regulation, the agricultural green development is incentivized and guided through measures such as policy formulation and economic incentives, data sharing and financial support, and scientific innovation and network publicity. These measures can help realize the all-round, entire-process greening of agricultural production, ecology, and life, and achieve the sustainable and high-quality development of agriculture.
