Abstract
To study the impact mechanism and effect of agricultural digitization on the agricultural field plays a vital role in achieving the target of high-quality agricultural development. There are three perspectives that can be taken to construct the framework of analysis as to the impact mechanism of agricultural digitization on the high-quality development of agriculture: enhancing agricultural production efficiency, optimizing resource allocation and upgrading the industrial structure. Besides, the threshold effect of the education level of the labor force is also analyzed. Based on China’s provincial panel data from 2011 to 2020, the two-way fixed effects model and threshold effect test model are applied to verify the research hypothesis. It has been discovered that agricultural digitization is conducive to promoting the high-quality development of agriculture. Heterogeneity analysis shows that agricultural digitization plays a more significant role in the eastern region than in the central and western regions. There is a single threshold effect that depends on the education level of the rural labor force in the promotion of agricultural digitization to high-quality agricultural development. When the threshold is exceeded, agricultural digitization plays a more significant role in promoting high-quality agricultural development. There are three policy suggestions made to conclude the study. The first one is to improve the construction of agricultural digitization infrastructure. The second one is to pay attention to the differences in the development degree and demand between regions in the process of agricultural digitization construction. The last one is to improve the quality of the rural labor force and the input of scientific and technological talents in the agricultural industry.
