With the development of the market economy, agricultural trade has become more and more significant for the development of the agricultural economy, which has triggered people’s further thinking and exploration on the impact of agricultural trade on agricultural carbon emissions. This paper takes the measurement of trade implied carbon as the carbon dioxide emission index under the impact of agricultural trade and analyzes the impact of trade implied carbon and implied carbon balance on carbon emission. Taking the impact of Sino-US agricultural trade as an empirical background, this paper measures the impact of environmental changes in agricultural trade opening on China’s agricultural development and its carbon emissions, so as to predict changes in China’s regional agricultural carbon emissions performance. After calculation, it is found that the scale of China’s exports has decreased by 0.089%, which is lower than the decline of 0.361% in the United States. The trade conflict has a significant impact on China’s import and export structure. Under the scenario of mutual tariffs on agricultural products, China’s exports to the United States are expected to decrease by 6.28%, while China’s imports from the United States decreased by 13.02%. The Sino-US agricultural trade dispute will reduce China’s carbon emissions by 0.013% and the United States’ carbon emissions by 0.024%, which is related to the negative impact on the economy. Improving the performance of agricultural carbon emissions is not only the need for the green and sustainable development of the agricultural economy but also conducive to improving the international competitiveness of agricultural products.

China is a large developing country, and there is no doubt that it is a large developing agricultural country. Agriculture has played a vital role in the development of the national economy since ancient times, and it serves as the foundation of China’s national economy. As agricultural modernization is the fundamental way of agricultural development, its source of funds must come from rural finance. The financial support of rural finance for agricultural modernization is the material basis and prerequisite for ensuring the healthy and rapid development of agricultural modernization. If there is no financial support from rural finance, the process of agricultural modernization will be hindered, and it will not benefit our country’s socialist modernization. Although our country’s rural financial system has been constantly changing and improving, our country’s current financial system still has many shortcomings and defects. In the process of supporting agriculture, rural finance has insufficient capital supply, which has become a “bottleneck” in the development of agricultural modernization, and to a certain extent has severely restricted the development of agricultural modernization. On the basis of existing literature research, this article systematically studies the influence of rural financial market structure on the development of agricultural enterprises in central China. The content includes agricultural total factor productivity and agricultural emission reduction. When analyzing the impact of rural financial market structure on agricultural development, this article also pays attention to its specific impact on agricultural development under the conditions of different types of enterprises.

Revealing public preferences regarding the ecological restoration of a river basin and evaluating the associated social benefits provide important references for the development of related policies. Taking the Shiyang River Basin as an example, this study quantified and analyzed the difference in public preferences regarding the ecological restoration of the river basin by the choice experiments method and the random parameters logit (RPL) model. It also evaluated the social benefits of river basin ecological restoration. The results showed that (1) The residents all hoped to improve the ecological environment of the Shiyang River Basin and were willing to bear certain restoration costs. (2) There were significant differences in public preferences for ecological restoration of the river basin. These differences existed between the upper, middle, and lower reaches of the river and between urban and rural residents. (3) The average annual cost of ecological restoration that the basin residents were willing to pay was between 505.833 ∼ 948.571 RMB yuan, and the total annual benefits of ecological restoration were 381.2 million RMB yuan. Based on these conclusions, the following recommendations were made. First, future ecological and environmental policies should be further combined with public preferences; and even cross-regional ecological compensation can be introduced to balance the interests of different social groups, to win public support. Second, increased water-saving technology in industries and agriculture, residents’ awareness of water conservation, and the management of water pollution measures should be promoted in order to improve the ecological environment of the river basin. Third, the budget for the ecological restoration of the Shiyang River Basin should be 381.2 million yuan per year. Costs should be controlled while meeting the restoration goals.
