Cropland non-agriculturization and agricultural green development: Evidence from the Yangtze River Economic Belt, China.

ABSTRACT: As a carrier of agricultural production, the transformation of cropland non-agriculturalization (CLN) poses a significant challenge to the green development of agriculture. Although the impact of CLN on green development is acknowledged, empirical studies that establish a causal relationship are still relatively limited. This study leverages the land use remote sensing data to quantify the extent of CLN within the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YEB) of China. Employing the biennial non-radial directional distance function and Luenberger index, the agricultural green total factor productivity (AGTFP) has been measured under the dual constraints of "carbon source" and "carbon sink". Subsequently, the double fixed effect model is utilized to examine the causal dynamics between CLN and AGTFP. Th
