Abstract

This study examines the integration of the digital economy with green agriculture in China, aiming to align technological advancements with sustainable farming practices. Using a coupling coordination framework, it analyzes panel data from 2011 to 2020 across 31 provinces, tracking the relationship (C-value) and balanced development (D-value) between digital and green systems. Findings show progress in most provinces, with increasing C and D values, though regional disparities persist. Eastern provinces lead in D-values due to better infrastructure, adoption of digital technology, and rural incomes. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions and proposes a framework to guide sustainable agricultural modernization and rural revitalization.
