数字乡村建设对农业面源污染的影响研究

Impact of digital rural construction on agricultural non point source pollution

  • 摘要: 数字乡村建设作为农业高质量发展和乡村振兴的重要抓手, 对农业面源防治具有重要作用。本文基于2013—2022年中国省级面板数据, 从乡村基础设施、农业生产性投入和乡村生活转型发展3个维度构建数字乡村建设评价指标体系, 测算了数字乡村建设水平和农业面源污染强度, 实证检验了数字乡村建设对农业面源污染的作用效应和传导机制。研究发现: 第一, 我国数字乡村建设和农业面源污染分别总体呈逐年上升和下降趋势, 并且存在空间地理区位差异。第二, 数字乡村建设显著促进农业面源污染防治, 经过稳健性检验后, 结论依然成立。第三, 产业结构升级和农业科技进步在其中发挥中介作用。第四, 异质性分析结果显示, 数字乡村建设对东部和中部的农业面源污染均具有显著的抑制作用, 但对西部和东北地区效果不明显, 对粮食主产区和非粮食主产区以及农药、化肥、农膜和农用柴油4种污染源均有明显的抑制作用。基于以上结论, 提出要加强数字乡村建设, 加大对西部和东北地区的政策支持力度, 不断优化产业结构。

     

    Abstract: Agricultural non-point source pollution has become an important factor restricting sustainable agricultural development and ecological environment protection. As an important measure to achieve high-quality agricultural development and rural revitalization, digital rural construction plays an important role in the prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution. This study aims to explore the impact of digital rural construction on agricultural non-point source pollution, analyze its effects and transmission mechanisms, and propose corresponding countermeasures and suggestions to assist in the prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution based on the research conclusions of this article. The academic community has conducted extensive research on digital rural construction and agricultural non-point source pollution, providing rich theoretical and practical experience for this article. However, after reviewing relevant literature, it is found that the analysis of digital rural construction is more at the theoretical level, focusing on exploring its social and economic benefits. More attention is paid to the causes and current situation of agricultural non-point source pollution, and environmental regulation is the research focus in its prevention and control. The ecological effects of digital rural construction and other factors related to the prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution still need to be further studied and explored. In view of this, this article constructs an evaluation index system for digital rural construction from three dimensions: rural infrastructure, digitalization of agricultural productive investment, and transformation and development of rural life, with 14 secondary indicators. Taking agricultural non-point source pollution as the starting point, it explores the ecological effects of digital rural construction, enriches the research on ecological functions of digital rural construction, and explores new paths for the prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution. This article adopts a research method of theoretical analysis and empirical testing. Firstly, relevant research is read to construct a theoretical analysis framework for the impact of digital rural construction on agricultural non-point source pollution. Then, a mathematical model and an evaluation index system for digital rural construction are constructed. Based on the panel data of provincial-level China from 2013 to 2022, the effect and transmission mechanism of digital rural construction on agricultural non-point source pollution are empirically tested. Research has found that the level of digital rural construction in China is generally on the rise, while agricultural non-point source pollution is on the decline. The trend is more pronounced in the eastern and central regions of China. The empirical results show that firstly, the construction of digital rural areas significantly promotes the prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution. After a series of robustness tests, the conclusion still holds true. Secondly, the construction of digital rural areas can reduce agricultural non-point source pollution through upgrading industrial structure and advancing agricultural technology. Thirdly, the heterogeneity analysis results show that digital rural construction has a significant inhibitory effect on agricultural non-point source pollution in both eastern and central regions of China, but the effect is not significant in western and northeastern regions of China. It has a significant inhibitory effect on both grain producing and non grain producing areas, and has a significant inhibitory effect on four types of pollution sources: pesticides, fertilizers, agricultural films, and agricultural diesel. Based on the above conclusions, this article proposes to strengthen the construction of digital rural areas, improve the digitalization level of agricultural and rural production and life, enhance the level of agricultural science and technology, continuously optimize the industrial structure, fully leverage the radiating and driving role of eastern and central China, and continuously increase policy support for western and northeastern regions.
