Abstract

Abstract: It is vital to explore the relationship between regional agricultural carbon emissions and economic growth for promoting the research of the agricultural Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) in China. Based on this, this research first uses the carbon emissions coefficient method to measure Fujian's agricultural carbon emissions from 2000 to 2016, and uses the EKC model to explore the evolutionary relationship between regional agricultural carbon emissions and economic growth. Research shows that chemical fertilizers are the main cause of agricultural carbon emissions in Fujian. The agricultural carbon footprints and carbon emission intensity in the research area have not yet met the "inverted U-shape" assumed by EKC. Based on this, the author proposes that Fujian should continue to deepen the adjustment of the agricultural supply-side structure and take the road of green and low-carbon agricultural development. Fujian should implement technology reforms and improve the utilization of fertilizers in agricultural production and other emission reduction measures
