Abstract

Technological progress is the key to promoting efficient agricultural production and an important means and fundamental approach to achieving high-quality agricultural development. This paper uses panel data from the Yangling Agricultural High-tech Industrial Demonstration Zone from 2010 to 2020 as an example, calculates the agricultural technological progress index from 1998 to 2018 based on the DEA-Malmquist index model, and finally explores the causal relationship between the two using a Two-way fixed effects model. The results show that the technological progress index of the Yangling Agricultural High-tech Industrial Demonstration Zone is on an upward trend; technological progress has a negative impact on agricultural pollution, that is, technological progress can inhibit the spatial spillover of agricultural pollution and relatively reduce environmental pollution. Therefore, there is a significant causal relationship between agricultural technological progress and the spatial spillover of agricultural pollution in the Yangling Agricultural High-tech Industrial Demonstration Zone. The region can start with technological progress, expand the scope of agricultural technology use and increase the utilization rate of high-tech agricultural machinery, which can reduce local and neighboring agricultural pollution to a certain extent and promote the healthy development of local agriculture.
