ABSTRACT
This study employs a coupling coordination model to measure the coupling coordination of green
low-carbon agriculture and socio-economic development in 31 provinces in China from 2003 to 2021.
Additionally, it explores the regional differences in the driving factors of coupling coordination between
green low-carbon agriculture and socio-economic development. The findings are as follows:(1) The
coupling degree between green low-carbon agriculture and socio-economic development undergoes
stages of “antagonism-maturing-high-level coupling,” while the coupling coordination experiences
stages of “moderate imbalance-mild imbalance-approaching imbalance,” indicating the need for further
improvement in coordination. (2) The spatial pattern of the coupling development pattern of high-lowhigh.
(3) During the process of coupling coordination between green low-carbon agriculture and socioeconomic
development, green coverage rate and per capita GDP have a positive impact at the national
level. However, the influence of agricultural carbon emission intensity, effective irrigated land ratio,
fertilizer application intensity, pesticide application intensity, and plastic film application intensity on
coupling coordination varies depending on the characteristics of the local agricultural industry structure.
