Abstract

Advancing new productive forces in agriculture requires the adoption of disruptive green technological innovation by agricultural enterprises. This study analyzes the generative mechanisms for promoting disruptive green technological innovation based on the DSR model and examines the moderating role of green governance alliances. A total of 302 questionnaires were collected from agricultural enterprises in Guangxi, and structural equation modeling was employed for verification. The results indicate that both low-carbon transformation capability and carbon label credibility have a significantly positive impact on disruptive green technological innovation and organizational green learning, with organizational green learning playing a mediating role. Green governance alliances positively moderate the relationship between low-carbon transformation capability, carbon label credibility, and organizational green learning but do not moderate the relationship between low-carbon transformation capability, carbon label credibility, and disruptive green technological innovation. Agricultural enterprises can advance new productive forces and achieve high-quality agricultural economic development by enhancing their low-carbon transformation capability, co-constructing carbon label credibility, and engaging in disruptive green technological innovation. Agricultural enterprises should adopt disruptive green technological innovation, establish carbon certification systems, participate in green learning platforms, and strengthen green governance alliances to promote low-carbon development and enhance market competitiveness.
