Analysis of Decoupling Effect of China's Agricultural Carbon Emission

In this paper, the improved Divisia exponential decomposition method is adopted to decompose the driving factors of agricultural carbon emission growth into six major effects of theoretical carbon emission increase and theoretical carbon emission reduction. This paper analyzed the driving effect and decoupling state of China's agricultural carbon emission growth from 2000 to 2016 and found that the rapid growth of China's agricultural carbon emission over the long term was mainly caused by the slow inhibition of the effect of theoretical carbon emission reduction and the effect of theoretical carbon emission increase, China's agricultural carbon emissions and economic growth maintain a stable state of weak decoupling and have the potential to develop into a strong decoupling; Agricultural energy consumption efficiency, agricultural technological progress and improvement of farmers' living conditions are important policies to realize the ideal decoupling between agricultural carbon emissions and economic growth.
