| Analysing the spatial and temporal changes in China's agricultural green and low-carbon development provides a basis for formulating regional development strategies and promoting agricultural green and low-carbon transformation. Based on the connotation of agricultural green and low carbon development, we constructed the indicator system from four dimensions of“carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion and growth”. China′s agricultural green and low-carbon development level, spatial and temporal characteristics and regional differences from 2011 to 2020 were analysed by CRITIC-entropy combination empowerment method, Moran index, kernel density estimation and Dagum Gini coefficient, and the influencing factors were analyzed by geodetector model. The results showed that the level of green and low-carbon development of agriculture in China had been increasing year by year, with an average growth rate of 2.31%, but regional differences were obvious, with the highest overall level in the north-east. In terms of dimensions, the level of agricultural pollution reduction development was the highest, and the growth rate of agriculture was the fastest; the spatial green and low-carbon development of agriculture was significantly positively correlated, the regional gap was expanding, and the hypervariable density and interregional differences were the main sources of differences; the green and low-carbon development of agriculture was affected by many factors, such as financial support to agriculture, the efficiency of agricultural production, and planting structure adjustments. At present, the green and low-carbon development of agriculture in most provinces of China is at a low level, with large regional differences, and each region should adopt locally adapted policies and measures to promote the green and low-carbon transformation of agriculture. |
