An Empirical Study on China's Regional Carbon Emissions of Agriculture

Based on China’s carbon emissions of agriculture, the authors appraise the area differentiation of carbon emissions of agriculture; examine the influential factors of agricultural carbon emissions in China. The results show that the performance of China’s agricultural carbon emissions is on the rise. The agricultural carbon emissions in the west of China increase rapidly. The area differentiation of agricultural carbon emissions in China decreases. In general, the major driver of carbon emissions is agricultural development level. Industrial structure, energy efficiency and labor transfer have significant effects on the performance of agricultural carbon emissions.
