In order to promote the green, low-carbon and high-quality development of agriculture, this paper adopted the super-efficiency SBM model and the entropy method to measure the agricultural carbon emission efficiency and the high-quality development level of agriculture in the Yellow River Basin, and discussed the interaction between the two by using VAR model. The results show that a) the agricultural carbon emission efficiency in the Yellow River Basin is on the rise as a whole. The agricultural carbon emission efficiency of Gansu and Shanxi, Sichuan, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi and Qinghai, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia is at a lower, medium and higher level respectively. b) The overall level of high-quality agricultural development shows a fluctuating upward trend. Shaanxi, Shanxi, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia, Qinghai and Gansu, Henan, Sichuan and Shandong are at a lower, medium and higher level respectively. c) The improvement of agricultural carbon emission efficiency has a significant effect on the promotion of high-quality agricultural development, while the improvement of high-quality agricultural development has no significant effect on agricultural carbon emission efficiency. Based on the research results, some suggestions were put forward to improve the efficiency of agricultural carbon emissions and promote the high-quality development of agriculture in the Yellow River Basin from the aspects of green and sustainable development.
