Abstract

This study comprehensively employs literature review, questionnaire survey, field investigation, and multiple linear regression model to conduct an in-depth exploration of the impact of agricultural digital new-quality productive forces on farmers' income growth in Tianjin. The research is based on 286 valid sample data from 15 agricultural digital demonstration bases and 32 control administrative villages across 8 agricultural-related districts in Tianjin. The findings reveal that agricultural digital new-quality productive forces exert a significant positive impact on farmers' income growth, which is specifically reflected in two aspects: digital technology penetration and farmers' digital literacy. The in-depth application of digital technologies in production and operation links directly promotes income improvement, while the enhancement of farmers' digital literacy provides a guarantee for transforming technologies into income-increasing outcomes. Resource factors such as household land scale and land contiguity lay the foundation for income growth, and distinct characteristics are also presented in regional heterogeneity and income structure differences. This study fills the gap in regional research on agricultural digital new-quality productive forces in China, improves the relevant theoretical system, aligns with Tianjin's agricultural development needs, accumulates practical experience for rural revitalization, and contributes to the high-quality development of agriculture and rural areas in Tianjin.
