The high-quality development of agriculture requires not only sustainable growth of agricultural productivity but also green agricultural production. Internet technology has played an essential role in agricultural production and marketing in China over the past decades. This paper estimates provincial agricultural green growth in China from 1997 to 2019 and decomposes it into technological progress (TP) and efficiency changes (EC) based on the Luenberger productivity indicator method. Then an econometric model is employed to analyze the impact of the Internet on the growth of agricultural green productivity and each sub-component, and moderating role of farmer education in such effect. The empirical results indicated that annual average growth rate of agricultural green productivity in China is 1.33% from 1997 to 2019, and technological progress dominates its growth. The development of Internet technology has a significant positive impact on agricultural green productivity and its decomposition. Farmer education has strengthened the effect of Internet technology on agricultural green productivity and its decomposition TP and EC.
农业的高质量发展不仅需要农业生产力的可持续增长，还需要绿色农业生产。在过去几十年中，互联网技术在中国的农业生产和营销中发挥了重要作用。本文利用 Luenberger 生产率指标法，基于省级面板数据测算了中国 1997—2019 年的农业绿色增长，并将其分解为技术进步（TP）和效率变化（EC）。然后，采用计量经济学模型分析了互联网对农业绿色生产率及其各子成分增长的影响，以及农民教育在这种影响中的调节作用。实证结果表明，1997—2019 年中国农业绿色生产率的年平均增长率为 1.33%，技术进步是其增长的主要原因。互联网技术的发展对农业绿色生产率及其分解具有显著的正向影响。农民教育加强了互联网技术对农业绿色生产率及其分解的技术进步和效率变化的影响。
