Does the Application of ICTs Improve the Efficiency of Agricultural Carbon Reduction? Evidence from Broadband Adoption in Rural China
Summary. Rural broadband adoption in China improves agricultural carbon reduction efficiency, according to analysis of 30 provinces from 2011 to 2019. The effect strengthens when land transfer rates are high and farmers invest more in production equipment. Income and efficiency follow an inverted U-shaped relationship, confirming the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis. These findings suggest broadband and smart equipment adoption can help farmers in developing countries reduce agricultural emissions.
