- Abstract
With panel data of provinces in China in 2005–2017, the double-difference model is employed in the present work to investigate the impact of policies for high-standard farmland construction (HSFC) on the agricultural carbon emissions. Baseline regression reveals that these policies have significantly contributed to the reduction of agricultural carbon emissions; heterogeneity analysis shows that the impact of these policies is more pronounced in eastern China, while no significant impacts are observed in central and western regions. Investigations on the underlying mechanism reveals that HSFC policies alleviate agricultural carbon emissions by improving mechanisation of agriculture and reducing the application of chemical fertilisers. Recommendations and suggestions are provided per these findings to improve agricultural sustainability.
