The act of land transfer in rural areas is an important decision-making mechanism for farmers, to enhance resource allocation efficiency and promote capital mobility, this strategic importance promoting the level agricultural scale mechanization, system change, and, thus, sustainable development livelihoods production China. This study aims explore farmers’ mechanisms process areas, by constructing a theoretical framework. Structural equation modeling was used, based on data from survey families Liaoning Province area Northeastern main findings are as follows: (1) seven types exogenous latent variables, including environmental vulnerability, policy, five livelihood assets (natural capital, physical financial human social capital), intermediary behavior, which then positively affect outcomes. (2) Among variables affecting transfer, have most significant positive effect, followed assets, family labor force share, frequency work information exchange, number tools, greatly corresponding variable. (3) Natural play role negative effect decision; contracted per greatest impacted measurable variable this. results suggest that government should strengthen skills training improve policy system, provide appropriate subsidies regionally targeted manner. Thus, it can transformation Chinese-style modernization achieve revitalization.

Rural economic development faces significant challenges in the context of rapid urbanization and agricultural transformation, particularly developing countries like China. Agricultural socialization services (ASSs) play a crucial role promoting rural sustainability by enhancing household income fostering regional development. This study investigates impact ASSs on China from both temporal spatial perspectives, employing entropy weight method, double fixed effects model, Spatial Durbin Model. Analyzing panel data 30 Chinese provinces 2011 to 2021 reveals positive income, along with spillovers neighboring regions. The results highlight heterogeneity ASSs, eastern region benefiting local spillovers, while central western regions gain intensification scale effects. These findings suggest that policymakers should adopt region-specific strategies, such as facilitating technology transfer leveraging advantages regions, optimize effectiveness support measures. Moreover, relationship between exhibits non-linear trend across various stages, implying ASS policies be tailored specific opportunities associated different levels maximize their sustainability. underscore importance optimizing tailoring conditions, harnessing process promote inclusive foster sustainable growth.
