Agricultural Social Services and Land Transfer: A Multidimensional Analysis of Impacts on Land Allocation

Land, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(4), P. 855 - 855

Published: April 14, 2025

Land transfer is a crucial measure for optimizing cropland allocation and improving production efficiency, especially in resource-scarce countries. Drawing on sample of 858 farmers from Sichuan Province, China, this study examines whether agricultural social services (ASSs) drive land transfer. Unlike previous research that focused single dimension, such as participation or scale, paper behavior three dimensions: participation, future willingness. Using an endogenous switching regression model probit model, we analyze unique cross-sectional farm-level data collected rural China. The results indicate ASSs have positive significant impact behavior: (1) ASS adoption increases the rate by 13.7%. (2) area 74.34% due to ASSs. (3) likelihood 4.2% with adoption. These findings suggest fostering supportive environment can enhance market contribute sustainable modernization sector.

Does digital literacy affect farmers’ adoption of agricultural social services? An empirical study based on China Land Economic Survey data

PLoS ONE, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 20(4), P. e0320318 - e0320318

Published: April 23, 2025

Agricultural social services (ASS) are crucial in alleviating resource constraints and advancing agricultural modernization. Using the data derived from China Land Economic Survey (CLES2022), this study empirically investigates how digital literacy influences farmers’ adoption of ASS, employing both Probit Propensity score matching (PSM) models. Additionally, it explores mediating roles long-term production vision part-time employment degrees relationship. The findings are: (1) exhibited a statistically significant positive effect on ASS at 1% level. Moreover, impact varied among participants technology training, different education levels, varying levels risk preference; (2) act as mediators, enhancing ASS. Based these findings, recommendations have been developed to improve literacy, promote enhance well degree part-time.

The people are the foundation of nation, and grain is vital for their survival. Food security crucial national stability well-being. This study utilizes panel data from 1,234 counties in China’s primary grain-producing regions, covering years 2010 to 2021, conduct a theoretical analysis empirical examination impact farmland management rights mortgage loans (FMRML) on food security, employing difference-in-differences (DID) model. results indicate that pilot policy significantly enhances major areas. Moreover, conclusions remain robust following parallel trends placebo tests. Mechanism reveals can promote by increasing rural mechanization boosting financial support Heterogeneity demonstrates factors such as regional resource endowments, economic development levels, tenure systems lead varying effects security. research provides valuable references insights global practices aimed at enhancing through policies enabling rights.

The sustainability of grain production: the impact of agricultural productive services on farmers’ grain profits

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 8

Published: Aug. 22, 2024

Increasing farmers’ grain profits is crucial for enhancing the sustainability of production and ensuring food security. As a widely applied agricultural management means at present, productive services are great significance to study whether they can help increase profits. This paper uses micro-farmer data from 2020 China Rural Revitalization Survey (CRRS). It employs an endogenous switching regression model causal mediation analysis methods, which address issues, examine impact on their underlying mechanisms. The results show: (1) Agricultural significantly this conclusion still robust after robustness test. (2) mechanism indicates that through three pathways: yield enhancement, cost reduction, efficiency improvement. (3) heterogeneity shows have greater increasing farmers with lower profits, smaller operating scales, degrees farmland fragmentation. Our findings suggest support services, fully leveraging radiative driving role service providers, offering various forms will be key measures enhance promote sustainable production, ensure

The Role of Agricultural Socialized Services in Unlocking Agricultural Productivity in China: A Spatial and Threshold Analysis

Agriculture, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(9), P. 957 - 957

Published: April 28, 2025

Amid global economic transformation, a persistent productivity gap exists between developed and developing nations in agriculture sector, shaped by technological advancements shifting resource allocation patterns. Agricultural socialized services (ASS), defined as organized systems providing technical support, mechanization assistance, information services, market linkages, optimization to farmers, have emerged critical mechanisms for agricultural development. In economies, these catalyze gains labor through the integration of advanced technologies farming practices. Using panel data from 30 Chinese provinces during 2011 2022, this study investigates relationship ASS ALP, focusing on regional heterogeneity, threshold effects, spatial spillovers. The combination econometric methods analysis was selected its unique capacity capture both geographic interdependencies nonlinear relationships that characterize development processes. These thresholds at 5.254 8.478 represent points where impact ALP significantly changes magnitude, revealing evolves across different stages highlights notable disparities ASS. Specifically, is more effective eastern, central key food-producing regions, while relatively weak western non-food-producing regions. Spatial spillover indicates create positive externalities, extending beyond their immediate implementation zones facilitating inter-provincial cooperation findings provide crucial guidance policymakers service providers optimize delivery strategies. By identifying variations, research offers evidence-based support government officials designing targeted policies enterprises region-specific models foster sustainable growth diverse landscapes.
