Introduction In order to achieve the sustainable development goal set by United Nations,it is necessary promote green transformation and of agriculture. context global economic digital revolution, examining impact financial inclusion (DFl) on agricultural total factor productivity (AGTFP) provided a new perspective for DFl upgrading. Methods Based balanced panel data 30 provinces in China from 2011 2022, study used slack-based measure (SBM) malmquist-luenberger (GML) index AGTFP. Then entropy method was basic condition logistics. Finally, causal relationship potential mechanism DFI AGTFP were verified means bidirectional fixed effect two-stage least square method. Results Our findings are as follows: firstly, significantly increases This conclusion still valid after series robustness tests endogeneity control. Secondly, land transfer logistics play positive mediating roles between Thirdly, has higher main grain-producing areas production-marketing areas. Discussion research provides not only theoretical empirical support optimizing China’s inclusive service system promoting agriculture but also an important reference developing countries.

Symbiotic relationship and attribution analysis of digitalization in agriculture, rural, and finance: evidence from China

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 9

Published: April 1, 2025

There is a close symbiotic relationship among digital finance, rural and agriculture. The three promote influence each other to jointly drive revitalization agricultural modernization. Using panel data from 30 provinces in China spanning 2015 2021, this paper quantitatively analyzes the dynamic characteristics, spatial patterns, driving mechanisms of agriculture, their relationships through coupling coordination degree model (CCDM) geographically temporally weighted regression (GTWR). study shows that between finance dominated by coordinate quasi relationship. evolution indices diversified, with emergence variety patterns such as continuously declining, fluctuating upward, relatively stable, L-shaped, inverted U-shaped, W-shaped, V-shaped, tilted Z-shaped, M-shaped, its changes exhibit significant variability, agglomeration correlation. mechanism complicated, nature intensity factors are regional time-varying. Except for fiscal self-sufficiency rate, which plays long-term positive promotion role, most exert mixed effects (both promoting negative inhibitory). For reason, it recommended government should change trend management, balancing weak strong interventions. And also accelerate transformation development policies toward policies, scientifically delineate geographical zones, establish alliances, enable leading regions demonstrate exemplary value, while helping assisting those underdeveloped quickly achieve breakthrough areas distinctive advantages. In addition, design digitalization policy portfolio according mechanism, focusing on synergistic key factors.

Digital inclusive finance (DIF) is regarded as a key instrument in poverty alleviation efforts. However, existing research reveals significant gaps understanding its poverty-reduction impact: the debate on inclusivity remains unresolved, mechanisms of action are unclear, and psychological empowerment dimension has been largely overlooked. Using micro-level data from seven waves China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) 2010 to 2022, this study employs fixed-effect models, quantile regression mechanism analysis explore differentiated impact digital rural multidimensional relative at play. The empirical findings reveal that DIF significantly mitigates poverty, with more pronounced marginal effects among poorest households, confirming pro-poor characteristics. Heterogeneity that, regional level, greater impacts western regions remote areas farther county centers; individual it particularly effective for women, those lower education, individuals limited literacy. Mechanism shows operates through three channels: promoting employment, encouraging entrepreneurship, enhancing financial accessibility. Moreover, extended demonstrates also fosters endogenous motivation households escape reflected heightened confidence about future, increased belief social mobility returns work, reduced perceived barriers employment. These provide new evidence unpack poverty-alleviation potential DIF.
