Research from Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences Yields New Findings on Sustainable Food and Agriculture (Does Digital Agricultural Technology Extension Service Enhance Sustainable Food Production? Evidence from Maize Farmers in China).

A study conducted by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences investigated the impact of digital agricultural technology extension services on eco-efficiency among maize farmers in Northeast China. The study found that the use of these services increased maize production's eco-efficiency. The research also suggested that the use of digital agricultural technology extension services could improve eco-efficiency through the application of sustainable inputs such as organic fertilizers, green pesticides, and biodegradable agricultural films. The findings have policy implications, including the promotion of these services to encourage farmers to use sustainable inputs and the implementation of a categorized promotion strategy based on real-world situations.
