Based on natural resource-based theory, this study constructed a relational model between green intellectual capital, green innovation, and an agricultural corporate sustainable competitive advantage. The samples included a total of 341 agricultural companies in China, and multiple regression methods are used for the analysis. The results showed that green product innovation and green process innovation had a mediation effect between green human capital, green structural capital, green relational capital, and the sustainable competitive advantage of agricultural corporate. Beyond the simple moderation effect, a new integrated moderated-mediation effect model was established. It was shown that environmental leadership, green organizational identification, and green dynamic capability had different moderated-mediation effects under different conditions. The study is expected to close the previous research gaps and insufficiency in agricultural corporate environmental management and green agricultural. The empirical results and conclusions bring enlightenment and meaningful theoretical guidance to managers, researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in the green and sustainable development of agricultural corporates. The new environmental management path can help agricultural corporates conduct green innovation effectively, adapt to the green agricultural products market, and achieve sustainable competitive advantage. Ultimately, this will help to accelerate the development of green agriculture.
基于自然资源基础理论，本研究构建了绿色智力资本、绿色创新与农业企业可持续竞争优势之间的关系模型。样本包括中国共 341 家农业企业，采用多元回归方法进行分析。结果表明，绿色产品创新和绿色流程创新在绿色人力资本、绿色结构资本、绿色关系资本与农业企业可持续竞争优势之间具有中介效应。超越了简单的调节效应，建立了一个新的综合调节中介效应模型。结果表明，环境领导力、绿色组织认同和绿色动态能力在不同条件下具有不同的调节中介效应。本研究有望弥补农业企业环境管理和绿色农业研究中的空白和不足。实证结果和结论为农业企业绿色和可持续发展的管理者、研究人员、从业者和政策制定者带来了启示和有意义的理论指导。新的环境管理路径可以帮助农业企业有效进行绿色创新，适应绿色农产品市场，实现可持续竞争优势。最终，这将有助于加速绿色农业的发展。
