Abstract: Climate warming is widely regarded as a crucial driver of numerous global challenges, posing a significant threat to human survival and development. Among the various factors contributing to climate warming, the greenhouse gas emissions from high-carbon agricultural practices—such as the excessive use of fertilizers, pesticides, and plastic films—are particularly concerning. Therefore, it is essential to study the low-carbon production decision-making behaviors of agricultural producers to mitigate the negative impacts of agriculture on climate change.
