    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.

    Integrated crop-livestock mode is a traditional way of agricultural production and management. It not only promoted the development of planting and livestock industry, but also realized the exchange of material and energy in agriculture, as well as the mutual utilization of raw materials and waste resources. However, with the rise of industrialization and chemical agriculture,the internal circulation system of integrated crop-livestock is gradually being fragmented,which caused predatory destruction to the agricultural ecosystem. Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate the construction of modern integrated crop-livestock production and management mode under the recycling and utilization of ecological resources. To establish the modern integrated crop-livestock resources recycling system,we should base on the internal circulation system of planting and livestock industry, expand the development space of agriculture,extend the agricultural industry chain and value chain,and promote the effective operation of the system by constructing four modern production and management modes and three production and management methods. This will ultimately lead to the integration of urban and rural industries, optimize the regional industrial structure and promote the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries in rural areas.

    Based on the mechanism analysis of the impact of land management scale on farmers’fertilizer input,combined with the survey data of corn farmers in Haizi village,Guji Town,Hezhang County,Guizhou Province,the influence mechanism of land management scale on farmers’fertilizer input was explored using OLS measurement method. The results showed that: overall,the scale of land management had significant negative effects on farmers’fertilizer input. Specifically,there was a U-shaped relationship between the scale of land management and the fertilizer input of farmers. The fertilizer input of farmers presented a trend of “first decreasing and then increasing” with the expansion of the land management scale. When the land management scale was 0.76 hm2,the fertilizer input of farmers were the lowest. In addition,improving farmers’education level,joining cooperatives,receiving technical training related to fertilization,reducing the degree of land fragmentation, and improving soil quality were factors contributed to the reduction of farmers’ fertilizer input. Accordingly,the local government should encourage and guide farmers to appropriately expand the scale of land management;give full play to the role of cooperatives and strengthen fertilization related technical training;strengthen the input of land protection and improve soil quality, so as to achieve the effect of reducing the input of fertilizer.

    Using the coupled and coordinated development system indicators of 31 complex systems under the three sub-systems of agricultural economy,agricultural ecology, and agricultural society in Xinjiang from 2010 to 2021 as the research content, this paper analyzed and constructed the evaluation indicators of the three sub-systems in Xinjiang , and systematically studied the level and coordination of agricultural development in Xinjiang using entropy weight method and coupled coordination degree model. During the study period,the three systems evolved along the tracks of lagging in agricultural society, to lagging in agricultural economy and lagging in agricultural environment. The coupling coordination degree of the three system developed from the initial moderate imbalance decline,through the verge of imbalance decline,barely coordination,preliminary coordination,intermediate coordination, to good coordination in 2021. The coupling coordination degree level has continuously developed from the imbalance stage to the coupling coordination stage. It was found that the lagging of agricultural ecology gradually became the main limiting factor of agricultural development in Xinjiang,and the development of agricultural society and agricultural economy was the key to the gradual improvement of the coupling coordination degree of the three systems. Therefore, protecting the ecological environment and rationally developing agricultural resources should come first in the development of agriculture in Xinjiang. Secondly,making good use of the system development advantages of agricultural society to promote rural construction firmly. Finally, vigorously promoting scientific and technological innovation,cultivating and expanding characteristic and advantageous industries to promote the development of Xinjiang agriculture.

    The transformation and upgrading of traditional animal husbandry to modern animal husbandry is a new way to promote the green and high-quality development of animal husbandry, and an important symbol of the modernization of animal husbandry. Based on the field research of pastoral areas in Xilinhot City,this paper explored the path of high-quality development of traditional animal husbandry under the new development concept. It was discovered that the state of grassland ecological protection was still severe, the development of grassland animal husbandry was relatively loose, and traditional animal husbandry in pastoral areas was in the transformation and upgrading of “climbing over the hurdles” stage. During the transformation process, challenges such as low level of animal husbandry farming, harsh livestock market environment, inadequate branding of livestock products, and lack of professional and technical supports need to be resolved. Future development should base on the advantages of resource endowment, upholding the development ideas of “grass to set livestock, optimize the layout, adjust the structure, improve production capacity, and industrial integration”, continuously improving the grassland animal husbandry intensive, standardization, industrialization, and enhancing the production capacity of green livestock products to provide important theoretical basis for the transformation and upgrading of traditional animal husbandry.

    Food security is an important issue of both national economy and people's livelihood. Its discussion is becoming more intense under the close connection of the global economy. China's global influence continues to expand as a result of the RCEP, and this has new implications for the food security of RCEP countries. Based on panel data from RCEP countries from 2004 to 2019, this study constructed a comprehensive indicator system for food security of RCEP countries using principal component analysis. The relationship between food security of RCEP countries and China's agricultural foreign investment was studied using the least squares method and fixed effects model. Through pulse response analysis, whether these effects have changed over time were investigated in order to explore the impact of China's agricultural foreign investment on the food security of RCEP countries. The research found that: (1)Overall, agricultural production value and annual growth rate of rural population had positive impacts on food security in RCEP countries. From a single country perspective, China's agricultural foreign investment, cultivated land area, agricultural production value, and trade openness were positively correlated with the food security of RCEP countries. (2) Food security of RCEP countries had positive response on the impact of arable land area, agricultural production value, rural population growth rate and negative response on the impact of China's foreign investment.

    Under enormous challenge of livestock environmental issues,the green circular development of animal husbandry faces numerous obstacles. Based on the logical framework of greenhouse gas emissions reduction,analyzing the calculation and influencing factors of carbon emissions in animal husbandry has great practical significance for promoting green and low-carbon development of animal husbandry and accelerating the achievement of the “dual carbon” goals. This article used the carbon emission coefficient method to calculate the carbon emissions of animal husbandry in Inner Mongolia from 1990 to 2022,and analyzed the influencing factors of animal husbandry carbon emissions in Inner Mongolia using the Environmental Kuznets Curve(EKC) model and the Scalable Stochastic Environmental Impact Assessment(STIRPAT) model. The results showed that:(1)The carbon emissions of animal husbandry industry in Inner Mongolia showed an overall fluctuating upward trend from 1990 to 2022,while the carbon emission intensity fluctuated downward. In the change of carbon emission structure,the proportion of livestock intestinal fermentation to total carbon emissions was 82.40%,much higher than that of fecal management,with ruminant animals such as cattle,sheep,and goats contributing the most.(2)During the observation period,the relationship between animal husbandry carbon emissions in Inner Mongolia and the level of economic development showed an N-shaped pattern.(3)The number of people engaged in animal husbandry,per capita output value of animal husbandry,carbon emission intensity,and consumption factors had significant positive correlations with carbon emissions in animal husbandry. The promotion effect of per capita output value of animal husbandry was most obvious. While urbanization rate significantly reduced carbon emissions in animal husbandry. Based on the above research results,suggestions were proposed to adjust the structure of animal husbandry,improve the level of green technology for animal husbandry,and strengthen the low-carbon environmental awareness of farmers and herdsmen.

    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.

    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”.

    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.

    Taking the embodied carbon emissions of agricultural products exported from China to Kazakhstan as the research object, based on China’s input-output data from 2010 to 2020, the input-output method was used to calculate the embodied carbon emissions of agricultural products exported from China to Kazakhstan. By constructing a logarithmic mean Dickson index (LMDI) decomposition model, the influencing factors of embodied carbon emissions of agricultural products exported from China to Kazakhstan were analyzed from three aspects: scale, structure, and technology. The results showed that from 2010 to 2020, the embodied carbon emissions of agricultural products exported from China to Kazakhstan had a trend of first increase and then decrease, with agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, and food processing industries being the main sectors of embodied carbon emissions. Scale effect was the main reason for the increase in embodied carbon emissions of agricultural products exported from China to Kazakhstan. Structural effect had a positive driving effect on embodied carbon emissions, but the effect was weak. Technological effect was an important contributing factor in reducing embodied carbon emissions of agricultural products.

    Promoting the integrated development of rural industries is an important measure to deepen the supply-side structural reform of agriculture and improve the comprehensive competitiveness of agriculture. Based on the panel data of 14 prefectures and cities in Xinjiang from 2011 to 2020, this paper analyzed the impact of digital inclusive finance on the integrated development of rural industries in Xinjiang using fixed effect models. The results showed that digital inclusive finance had positive effects on the integration of rural industries in Xinjiang. Factors such as rural living conditions and urbanization level had varying degrees of impact on the integrated development of rural industries in Xinjiang. From different dimensions, the coverage breadth, depth of usage, and digitization of digital inclusive finance promoted the integrated development of rural industries in Xinjiang. And the effects on the integrated development of rural industries increased sequentially. The regional heterogeneity test showed that the promoting effects of digital inclusive finance on the integrated development of rural industries were greatest in northern Xinjiang, followed by southern Xinjiang, and were smallest in eastern Xinjiang. The positive effects were stronger in agriculture and economy more developed areas. Based on this, suggestions were put forward to promote the development of digital inclusive finance and strengthen the construction of rural digitization.

    In order to achieve the goal of green and low-carbon development, the entropy method,coupling coordination degree model,and coupling evolution model were used to analyze the coupling coordination relationship between agricultural economic development and ecological environment in Xinjiang from 2013 to 2022. The following conclusions were drawn:(1)Agriculture carbon emissions in Xinjiang were stabilizing. In accordance with the development goals of green agriculture,practical and effective carbon reduction measures were lacking.(2)The overall development status of economy-environment system was good in Xinjiang. However,from systemic perspectives,the agricultural economic development system fluctuated greatly. (3) The coupling degree of the two systems was maintained at a high level, and the coordination degree was on the rise. The gap between coupling degree and coordination degree was narrowing.(4)The development of dynamic coupling under time series was unstable,fluctuating back and forth in various stages,and has been maintained in the primary coupling stage in recent years. At the same time,the trend of static changes in time series was also developing in a positive direction.

    Based on 2016 China Labor Force Dynamics Survey (CLDS) data, this paper empirically analyzed the impact of farmland titling on farmers' subjective well-being and its mechanisms by constructing an ordered Probit model and a mediating effect model. The results showed that farmland titling significantly increased farmers' subjective well-being. Farmers with confirmed titling had higher subjective well-being compared with those without confirmed titling. The results of robustness test indicated that the findings were reliable. The mediating effect analysis revealed that the mechanisms of farmland titling promoting farmers' subjective well-being were increasing agricultural income and reducing household mortgage debts. The results of the heterogeneity analysis showed that the effects of farmland titling increasing farmers' subjective well-being were mainly manifested in the samples from farmers with good health status, villages in hilly and mountainous area and eastern regions. Therefore, we should keep advancing the rural land system reform, consolidate the achievements of farmland titling, further promote land transfer, highlight the productive function of farmland, and continuously enhance the subjective well-being of farmers.

    The improvement of agricultural productivity in underdeveloped areas is of great significance to the achievement of rural revitalization. This paper used DEA-BCC model and DEA-Malmquist index to evaluate the agricultural productivity of Chongqing City and its 37 counties and further analyzed the influencing factors. The study showed that at the whole city level, the agricultural productivity of Chongqing City from 2016 to 2020 had an upward trend, but were in DEA invalid state in most years, mainly due to low scale efficiency. The total factor productivity of Chongqing City has been steadily increasing, with an average annual increase of 10.7%. At the county level, the agricultural productivity of Chongqing City was relatively high from 2016 to 2020, but there were obvious regional differences. The DEA effective counties were mainly in the metropolitan area. The total factor productivity from high to low were Northeast Chongqing town group > Southeast Chongqing town group > Metropolitan area. Among the influencing factors, machinery input per unit of cultivated land, fertilizer input per unit of cultivated land, effective irrigation land ratio, and government investment were promoting factors, while industrial structure and proportion of grain sowing area were restricting factors. Consequently, it was suggested to implement the strategy of agricultural production modernization and regionalization.

    Scientific measurement of the coordinated development level of agricultural economy and low-carbon agriculture is the basic prerequisite for achieving high-quality development of agriculture and animal husbandry. Taking the agricultural economic development system and the agricultural low-carbon development system as the starting point, this paper used 28 specific indicators, multi-index comprehensive evaluation method, coupled coordination model, and obstacle degree model to systematically analyze the coordination level of agricultural economy and low-carbon agricultural in Yili Prefecture. The results showed that the two systems of the three districts were highly coupled, and the level of coordination increased year by year. Although the two systems have reached coordination, the overall coordination degree was still relatively low. In view of this, suggestions were made from three aspects, systematically promote the comprehensive green transformation of agriculture and rural areas, standardize the main body behavior and stimulate the participating enthusiasm of farmers, make up for the shortcomings and improve the coordination level of agricultural economy and low-carbon agricultural.

    Industrial prosperity is an important part of rural revitalization and a basic guarantee for achieving common prosperity. In the practice of rural industrial development, problems such as “singularity” of action subjects, “fragmentation” of development resources, and “lack” of development mechanisms became the main obstacles hindering the prosperity of industries. Exploring the multi-agent collaborative model in industrial development has great significance. Adopting the case study research method, based on the empirical study of Yangling “China Agricultural Science City” demonstration zone, this study explored the operational logic of the “five links and one grasp” model in the context of collaborative governance. As an effective measure for the revitalization of rural industries, the “five links and one grasp” strategy achieved the effective integration of rural industrial resources through the combination of experts linking industry, scientific research linking production, enterprises linking the market, departments linking policies, and party members linking the masses. Research found that the mechanisms of deepening the construction of social networks, resource integration of the promoting aggregation elements, and interest linkage oriented by the promoting community composed the internal logic for promoting the effective operation of the “five links and one grasp” model and were crucial in comprehensively promoting the revitalization of rural industries.
