Abstract

Based on the data from China’s provincial panel from 2008 to 2019, this paper explores the impact of rural industrial integration (RII) on agriculture carbon emissions (ACE). It is found that RII has significantly inhibited ACE. The 1% increase in RII led to a 2.133% reduction in ACE; the RII can realize the goal of green agriculture by accelerating urbanization, thus inhibiting ACE. The labor structure has a significant positive moderating effect on agricultural carbon emission reduction in the process of RII. In the threshold analysis, it is found that the rural labor structure has a single threshold nonlinear effect, and the effect of RII on inhibited ACE is more pronounced when the level of labor structure is more than the threshold of 0.829. This conclusion not only contributes to understanding the relationship between the RII, urbanization, labor structure, and carbon emissions, but also provides substantial support for further promoting the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy and achieving the dual-carbon goal.
