Given the increasing environmental pressures, it is essential that agriculture achieves goal of sustainable and low-carbon development. In 2010, China, as top carbon emitter, introduced a policy on agricultural land lease (ALL), which has been met with considerable approval from farmers resulted in notable surge rate ALL within country. Nevertheless, question how affects emissions (ACEs) remains unanswered. What are transmission mechanisms? To answer these questions, this paper presents an equilibrium model accounts for heterogeneous production efficiency among farmers. It offers theoretical analysis impact emission reduction (ACER) empirical test using difference-in-differences (DID) model. Our research shows gives impetus to ACER. This conclusion persists even after conducting robustness endogeneity tests. The mechanism posits ACER through reducing proportion rural employees. Heterogeneity indicates effect significant both northern southern regions China. Nonetheless, only observable economically developed areas, high chemical fertilizer application rates, areas restricted progress. study elucidates connection between transfer emissions, offering evidence support advancement green

Agricultural production faces the dual challenge of increasing output while ensuring efficient resource utilization and environmental sustainability amid escalating global climate change relentless increases in human demand. This study used provincial panel data from China 2001 to 2022 address these challenges. It systematically evaluated dynamic evolution agricultural green total factor productivity (AGTFP) by selecting “resources” “energy” as core input factors adopting a dual-output approach focused on “economic” “low-carbon” outcomes. thoroughly analyzed synergistic mechanisms such natural endowment, technology, economic development, regulation, exploring their impact AGTFP enhancement through innovative application fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method. There was significant upward trend across China, indicating notable progress development. Additionally, three pathways promoting improvement were identified: resource–economy-driven, technology–policy-guided, multifactor-synergy. Simultaneously, two modes constraining uncovered: economy–policy suppression capital–economy suppression, highlighting pivotal role regional development conditionality converting advantages. Moreover, contributions exhibited temporal dynamics. Major events, 2008 financial crisis policy shifts, including 2012 “Ecological Civilization” strategy, significantly altered effectiveness existing configurations. Our heterogeneity revealed distinct geographical patterns, with resource–economy-driven model predominantly observed central regions technology–policy-guided multi-factor-synergy models more prevalent eastern regions. These findings highlight importance formulating differentiated policies tailored specific needs stages different Specifically, enhancing synergy between management optimizing technology–policy integration, coordinated multisectoral are critical fostering sustainable practices. research provides crucial empirical evidence for shaping targeted that can drive diverse contexts.
