摘要： Green technology innovation is a key approach to advancing pollution control at its source. However, the endogenous motivation for agricultural green technology innovation in China is currently insufficient, with innovation growth declining yearly, impacting sustainable agricultural development. It is imperative to accelerate the endogenous motivation for agricultural green technology innovation and advance the control of agricultural pollution at its source. This paper adopts a market-driven perspective, utilizing panel data from 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2022, and empirically analyzes the impact of farmland transfer on agricultural green technology innovation through fixed effects models, mediation effects, threshold effects models, and case studies. The study finds that farmland transfer significantly promotes agricultural green technology innovation, and this conclusion remains robust after a series of robustness checks. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that this impact is more pronounced in regions primarily focused on the primary industry and grain production. Mechanism analysis indicates that farmland transfer promotes the growth of agricultural green technology innovation by increasing agricultural research investment, alleviating the predicament of insufficient research and development input in green technology innovation. Finally, threshold effects analysis shows that under the institutional framework of intellectual property protection, the impact of farmland transfer on agricultural green technology innovation presents a nonlinear "inverted U-shaped" trend. In the initial stages, farmland transfer promotes agricultural green technology innovation, but after reaching a certain scale, the innovation effect weakens, exhibiting a pattern of first rising and then declining.
