In response to China's vigorous promotion of health and green, low-carbon development, agricultural technological innovation, as a crucial tool for advancing sustainable development, is essential in promoting residents' health. Based on data from 30 provinces in China from 2012 to 2022, this paper uses a two-way fixed effects model to examine the impact of agricultural technological innovation on residents' health. Further, it analyzes the underlying mechanisms through mediation effects and spatial autoregressive models. The research findings are as follows: (1) Agricultural technological innovation can significantly promote residents' health, with reducing non-point source pollution and improving dietary structure being two important intermediary channels; (2) Agricultural technological innovation has a significant spatial spillover effect on residents' health, meaning that the health of residents in a region is not only directly influenced by the level of agricultural technological innovation in their region but also indirectly affected by that in neighboring regions.
为响应中国大力推动的健康与绿色、低碳发展，农业技术创新作为推进可持续发展的关键工具，对于促进居民健康至关重要。基于2012年至2022年中国30个省份的数据，本文采用双向固定效应模型来检验农业技术创新对居民健康的影响。此外，通过中介效应和空间自回归模型分析其潜在机制。研究结果如下：（1）农业技术创新能够显著促进居民健康，减少面源污染和改善饮食结构是两个重要的中介渠道；（2）农业技术创新对居民健康具有显著的空间溢出效应，即一个地区居民的健康不仅直接受到该地区农业技术创新水平的影响，还间接受到邻近地区的影响。
