The majority of related research has traditionally focused on examining the individual influences of national governance capacity and technological innovation on carbon emissions and economic performance, neglecting the effects and influence mechanisms on carbon efficiency within agricultural supply chains, which is not conducive to advancing a low-carbon transition that includes agricultural concerns. This study addresses these gaps by investigating the correlation between national governance capacity (considering voice and accountability, political stability and absence of violence/terrorism, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law and corruption control) and agricultural supply chain carbon efficiency and investigating the influence mechanism and mediating role of technological innovation. The relevant findings are twofold. 1) The impact of national governance capacity and its components on agricultural carbon efficiency follows an inverted U-shaped curve. 2) Technological innovation can act as a mediator between national governance capacity and select factors of voice and accountability, government effectiveness and regulatory quality to enhance agricultural supply chain carbon efficiency. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and managers in agricultural supply chain enterprises seeking to transition towards low-carbon agriculture.

审视国家治理能力在构建全球低碳农业供应链中的作用


传统上，大多数相关研究都集中在考察国家治理能力和技术创新对碳排放和经济表现的个体影响上，忽视了农业供应链中对碳效率的影响和影响机制，这不利于推进包括农业关切在内的低碳转型。本研究通过调查国家治理能力 （考虑话语权和问责制、政治稳定性和无暴力/恐怖主义、政府效率、监管质量、法治和腐败控制） 与农业供应链碳效率之间的相关性，并调查技术创新的影响机制和中介作用来填补这些差距。相关的发现是双重的。1） 国家治理能力及其组成部分对农业碳效率的影响呈倒 U 形曲线。2） 技术创新可以作为国家治理能力与选择话语权和问责制因素、政府效率和监管质量之间的中介，以提高农业供应链的碳效率。研究结果为寻求向低碳农业转型的农业供应链企业的政策制定者和管理者提供了宝贵的见解。
