Abstract
The impacts of widespread carbon emission trends possessed tremendous pressure for global food security, sustainable development, and ecosystems. Several temporal and spatial patterns of green technology have been adopted to reduce carbon emissions in different regions of China. In China, agriculture industries may have colossal importance for reducing carbon emissions. On the basis of the data from 1998 to 2018, the study uses the heterogeneous stochastic frontier model to quantify the carbon emission reduction potential of agricultural green technology progress in eastern, central, and western regions of China by using the heterogeneous stochastic frontier model. We also analyze the coefficient of variation and its spatial and temporal evolution pattern of carbon intensity decline potential index and explore the potential factors related to the agriculture green technology progress of China. The finding of the study revealed that the carbon emission rate in the agriculture industry of China is very high, whereas adopting green technology is slower because of economic and policy-related factors—the carbon emission of green technological progress. In terms of spatial variations, the changes in various regions were consistent with the overall fluctuating rate compared with the state of another country, but an increasing trend has been traced within the “east-central-west” regions. The overall regional differences are gradually trending, but differences between regions mainly cause them. The increase in the structure of the agricultural agriculture industry, the level of labor, and the increase in administrative environmental regulations will weaken the obstacles to the carbon emission reduction potential of green technological progress. The increase in urbanization, the level of the agricultural economy, and economic and environmental regulations will increase the carbon emission reduction potential of green technological progress. It is necessary to actively promote exchanges and cooperation in green agricultural technology and advanced management concepts, accelerate the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure, and achieve the goal of peaking carbon emissions through regional coordinated development. Regionally, the overall external environment and the level of green technology progress in the western region need to be improved in all respects. The central and eastern regions need to focus on combining different policy tools to transform them from hindrance to promotion.
Highlights
In recent years, the widespread trends of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have led to some of the massive challenges such as global warming, climate change, and frequent natural disasters (Prastiyo et al, 2020)
On the basis of the heterogeneous stochastic frontier model constructed by the existing literature (Such as Wanke et al, 2020; Zhang et al, 2020; Lin and Du, 2015), the study measures the carbon emission reduction potential of green technology advancement under various constraints
Model 2) shows that the internal structure of agriculture, the level of agricultural economic development, the level of labor, the level of urbanization, administrative environmental regulations, and economic and environmental regulations have a constant influence on the carbon emission reduction potential of green technological progress, that is, the variance is constant
Summary
The widespread trends of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have led to some of the massive challenges such as global warming, climate change, and frequent natural disasters (Prastiyo et al, 2020). The continuous trends of carbon emissions trigger uneven seasonal changes, monsoon, and soil and water pollutions (West and Marland, 2002; Zhao et al, 2018). The international bodies are formulating various agreements, tactics, and symposiums to minimize the emission rate at a superior level. China has a wrong impression as it holds top positions in its carbon emissions to support its staggering economic and production sectors The Chinese government has currently taken some remarkable initiatives to uphold its stand to minimize its carbon footprint and reduce emissions to an optimum level. At the general debate of the 75th UN General Assembly in September 2020, the ambitious goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060 was put forward
