Abstract: In order to achieve sustainable development of agriculture, people have gradually begun to attach importance to the development of low-carbon agriculture and to regard green agricultural technology innovation and promotion as increasingly more important. Taking the Anhui Province of China as an example, this study analyzed the impact of green agricultural science and technology innovation resource allocation on rural revitalization by constructing an econometric model. We found that the overall efficiency of the overall allocation of agricultural science and technology innovation resources in Anhui Province increased in the sample period, but the scale efficiency level was relatively low. The key path to improving the overall efficiency of allocation was to improve the scale efficiency level. The allocation of agricultural science and technology innovation resources in 16 cities and prefectures performed well in terms of pure technical efficiency, but there were significant differences in scale efficiency, which further affected the overall allocation efficiency of different regions. Among them, the allocation efficiencies of agricultural science and technology innovation resources in Hefei and Fuyang were at the leading level in Anhui Province. Similar to the overall situation of the province, the improvement path of areas with low comprehensive efficiency lay in the improvement of scale efficiency. In view of this, from the policy level, we need to optimize the relationship between the government and the market, speed up the construction of platforms and carriers, attach importance to the construction of the agricultural science and technology talent training system, and improve the open sharing mechanism.
