ABSTRACT
Based on survey data covering 309 family grain farms in China, a structural equation model was
used to conduct an empirical study on the relationship between ecological cognition, digital agricultural
technology adoption, and the sustainable development of family grain farms in China. The results are
in the following: Ecological cognition has a significant positive effect on the sustainable development
of family grain farms. And digital agricultural technology adoption has a partial mediating
effect on the influence of ecological cognition on the sustainable development of family grain farms.
The ecological cognition level of farmers should be continuously improved, and more support should
be given to adopt digital agricultural technology to effectively promote the sustainable development
of family grain farms in China.
