Abstract

Digital agricultural technology empowers the development of agricultural production and has become an important way to promote the green development of agriculture. In order to explore the impact of digital agricultural technology on agricultural green total factor productivity and help China's agricultural digitalization and green transformation, we constructed an indicator system based on the panel data of 30 administrative districts in China from 2011 to 2020, measured the level of development of digital agricultural technology and agricultural green total factor productivity respectively, and introduced the fixed effect model and threshold effect model to empirically analyze the impact of digital agricultural technology on agricultural green total factor productivity. factor productivity. The results show that: 1) digital agricultural technology will produce significant promotion results on agricultural green total factor productivity; 2) there is a single threshold effect in the promotion of digital agricultural technology, and after the level of digital agricultural technology exceeds 0.074, its promotion effect on agricultural green total factor productivity is more significant; 3) the promotion effect of digital agricultural technology on agricultural green total factor productivity in different regions shows significant heterogeneity.
