    Comprehensively explore the spatial evolution of agricultural production carbon emissions is of significant importance for formulating rational agricultural carbon reduction policies. Using agricultural carbon emission data in Shandong Province from 2000 to 2020,this study estimated the emissions and intensities across 16 regions within the province,and investigated the regional disparities, spatial-temporal patterns, and dynamic changes in agricultural carbon emissions and intensities in Shandong Province. The research findings indicated that: （1）Overall, agricultural carbon emissions across various regions exhibited a reversed U shape trend, characterized by “rise-stable fluctuation-decline” evolution trend; （2）Agricultural production carbon emission intensities in different regions showed a trend of “stable fluctuation-continuous decline”,reaching its lowest point by 2020; （3）Over the past 20 years, regions with high and medium-high carbon emission intensities in Shandong Province have continuously evolved towards medium and low intensities, with all regions transitioning to medium intensities or lower by 2020; （4）The Moran’s I index of agricultural production carbon emission intensities across the 16 regions of Shandong Province fluctuated in an N shape, demonstrating a distinct spatial clustering characteristics. In light of these findings, an in-depth analysis of the spatial evolution trends in agricultural carbon emissions in Shandong Province was conducted, along with proposed carbon emission reduction strategies, providing theoretical references for the sustainable development of agriculture in the province.

    The close integration of digital economy with rural development provides opportunities for the green and low-carbon transformation of agriculture. This study used the panel data of 62 prefecture-level cities in the Yellow River Basin from 2011 to 2021,empirically examined the effect, mechanism, and regional heterogeneity of digital economy on carbon emissions using fixed-effect model,mediating effect model and threshold effect model. The research found that the development of digital economy had significant negative effects on agricultural carbon emissions,and industrial structure upgrading played an obvious intermediary role in the transmission mechanism of digital economy promoting agricultural carbon emission reductions. In addition, digital economy had threshold effects on regional agricultural carbon emissions. The agricultural carbon emission reduction effects were stronger in regions with relatively advanced digital economy development level and industrial structure upgrading level. Regional regression had clear regional heterogeneity. The agricultural carbon emission reduction effect of digital economy was more significant in the middle and downstream regions. The agricultural carbon emission reduction effect of the downstream was stronger than that in the middle stream because of the “digital dividend”.

    Exploring the voluntary paid withdrawal mechanism of rural homesteads and promoting further vacating and revitalization of idle homesteads are important measures to alleviate the inefficient utilization of rural land resources in China. Based on 640 survey data from farmers in Yujiang District,Jiangxi Province,this study empirically analyzed the impact mechanism of social reputation and value perception on farmers’ withdrawal behavior of homesteads,and further tested the mediating effect of value perception between social reputation and farmers’ withdrawal behavior of homesteads. The results showed that both social reputation and value perception significantly promoted farmers’ withdrawal behavior of rural homesteads,and value perception played a mediating role between social reputation and the withdrawal of rural homesteads; higher education level of the respondents or being a member of the Communist Party of China significantly increased the willingness of farmers to withdraw from their homesteads,promoted the achievement of withdrawal behavior. Based on this,it is recommended to pay attention to the external driving and internal motivating effects of social reputation and value perception in the withdrawal of rural homesteads,fully leverage the demonstration effects of“local elites”“intellectuals” and “leading cadres”, and pay attention to improving farmers’ perceived value level of rural homesteads withdrawal and enhancing their willingness to withdraw.

    In order to clarify the impact of loan amount on herdsmen household income, this article surveyed herdsmen households in cashmere goats core breeding area in Ordos City from 2020 to 2022 and explored the impact mechanisms using the random effect model and mediation effect tests. The results showed that the amount of herdsmen household loans in the Ordos region not only directly promoted their operational income, but also indirectly promoted operational income by increasing animal husbandry expenditure. Animal husbandry expenditure had significant mediating effects between herdsmen household loans and income. There was a mechanism of “herdsmen household loan - animal husbandry expenditure - income increase”. In view of this, the local financial institutions should vigorously develop productive loans for herdsmen to meet the animal husbandry expenditure;local governments and social organizations should actively train herdsmen to use loan funds reasonably, provide guarantees for their loans, encourage finance companies to issue agricultural and animal husbandry loans, and provide credit and loan support for herdsmen household animal husbandry production.

    This study selected data related to agricultural product export in Xinjiang from 2004 to 2022, constructed a high-quality agricultural product export development evaluation index system covering the five dimensions of innovation, coordination, green, open and sharing based on new development concept, and measured the high-quality development of agricultural product export in Xinjiang. The study concluded that the level of high-quality development of Xinjiang agricultural product export improved from 2004 to 2022; the green development index showed an upward trend, the innovation development index rose first and then declined, and the coordination development index, the sharing development index, and the opening development index were in the rising state. Among these, the innovation development index declined significantly, was an important factor restricting the high-quality development of Xinjiang agricultural product export. The green development index was an important factor contributing to the high-quality development of Xinjiang agricultural product export. In addition, the study found that the main factors affecting the high-quality development of Xinjiang agricultural product export also included insufficient export competitiveness and advantages, low dependence on foreign trade and small international market share, high export market concentration, and insufficient ability to drive employment. Based on the above research, Xinjiang should establish an agricultural employment subsidy policy in the new development stage, strengthen the reserve force for agricultural development; continue to promote the innovation and development of agricultural science and technology platforms, cultivate new kinetic energy and new advantages for the development of agricultural products export; and seize the opportunity of the “One Belt, One Road”, realize the high-quality development of agricultural products export.

    Based on unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2(UTAUT2)and perceived value-based adoption model（VAM）theories, this study analyzed 535 research data to empirically test the influencing factors of consumers’ willingness to purchase on fresh food e-commerce platforms under the new retail model. The results showed that hedonic motivation is a crucial factor influencing consumers’ willingness to purchase, followed by perceived value, effort expectation, and social influence. Hedonic motivation, effort expectation and facilitating condition had significant positive effects on consumers’ perceived value, and the effects decreased in order. At the same time, perceived value played a mediating role in hedonic motivation, effort expectation and facilitating condition on consumers’ willingness to purchase. Hedonic motivation and effort expectation had effects on consumers’ performance expectation, but the effect of performance expectation on consumers’ perceived value was not significant. Accordingly, fresh food e-commerce platforms should improve the ability of refined operation, create all-weather consumption experience, improve the efficiency of platform function, focus on word-of-mouth marketing, improve the traceability mechanism, improve the perceived value of consumption, and then increase the willingness of consumers to purchase.

    Grassland, known as the “skin of the earth”, is the largest ecological protection barrier on land, which provides a lot of ecological product value. This study took Tianjun County, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, in the alpine region of Qinghai Province as an example, constructed a differentiated ecological product value accounting system based on the characteristics of rich grassland resource endowment. From three aspects of material supply, regulation service and cultural service, this paper used the water balance method and soil loss equation to calculate the value of grassland ecological products in Tianjun County, and proposed the value transformation path of grassland ecological products. The results showed that the realization of the grassland ecological products value in Tianjun County mainly relied on ecological protection and ecological compensation. The total value of ecological products of grassland ecosystem in Tianjun County was around 15.206 billion yuan, of which the value of material supply was around 360 million yuan, accounting for around 2.37% of the total value, the value of regulation services was around 14.422 billion yuan, accounting for around 94.84% of the total value. Among the regulation service value, the value of local climate regulation> water conservation> carbon sequestration and oxygen release> soil conservation value. The value of cultural services was around 424 million yuan, accounting for around 2.79% of the total value. The value of grassland ecological product regulation service was the largest, which was in line with the provincial positioning of “three largest” and the characteristics of resource endowment in alpine region of Qinghai Province. By exploring the value accounting of grassland ecological products, this paper is helpful for the government to formulate ecological compensation policies, promote the rational utilization and sustainable development of resources, and provide references for the protection and high-quality development of grassland resources.

    Under the macroscopical background of green and sustainable development, exploring the perception of environmental protection taxes by livestock and poultry breeding entities has important and urgent practical significance for promoting the resource utilization of livestock and poultry manure. This study used data from a survey of 910 livestock and poultry breeding entities in Hunan Province from January to March 2023 as research sample to study the relationship between the perception of environmental protection tax and the resource utilization behavior of livestock and poultry manure. The results indicated that the perception of environmental protection tax and its subdivision dimensions had significant positive impacts on the resource utilization behavior of livestock and poultry manure by large scale farms and farmers, but the degree of influence varied. Age, the proportion farming income to total income had significant positive impacts on the resource utilization behavior of livestock and poultry farming entities. Based on this, the following suggestions were proposed: the government and relevant organizations should fully fulfill their propaganda functions and expand propaganda channels; improve the economic value of products, expand the market for resource-based products, and promote the resource utilization of livestock and poultry manure.
