Research on the Relationship of Coupling Coordination between Digitalization and Agricultural Sustainable Development

Abstract

This paper constructs a coupling coordination degree model of digitization and agricultural sustainable development and tests coupling and coordination development levels by using the data from Shandong Province. Furthermore, the Tobit model is constructed to deeply analyze the influencing factors of its coordination development. The results show that the comprehensive development level of digitization and agricultural sustainable development in Shandong Province is generally on the rise; the degree of coupling coordination between digitization and agricultural sustainable development in Shandong Province has been steadily rising and entering into the stage of high-quality coordination in 2018; since 2016, digitization in Shandong Province has played the more important role in promoting agricultural sustainable development than economic development, opening-up degree, industrial structure, and talent reserve. Finally, based on the above research conclusions, relevant policy suggestions are put forward.
