Digital Financial Inclusion, Cultivated Land Transfer and Cultivated Land Green Utilization Efficiency: An Empirical Study from China

Digital financial inclusion (DFI), characterized by digitalization and inclusiveness, has generally been recognized as a significant promoter of efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability agricultural production. Simultaneously, cultivated land green utilization efficiency (CLGUE), which is the guarantees food security, social stability environmental protection, attracted increasing attention in recent decades. In practice, DFI seems to be vital antecedent improvement CLGUE. However, academic field, research on whether how can affect CLGUE scarce. this case, based triple bottom line theory, paper theoretically empirically investigates reinforce through mediator transfer (CLT). Using Chinese provincial panel data from 2011 2020 structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis STATA 16.0, identified following: (1) directly facilitate CLGUE; (2) indirectly improve CLT. (3) regional heterogeneity Compared central western areas, positive relationship between eastern areas more obvious; (4) compared with main grain producing marketing balance obvious. Our one first explore mediating mechanism perspective
