Abstract: New urbanisation is crucial for agricultural green transformation and ensuring food and ecological security. Taking Jilin Province as its focus, this study constructs a new urbanisation index system covering four dimensions—population, economy, society, and ecology—and adopts the entropy method to assess its development level and measures agricultural green total factor productivity (GTFP) with the SBM-GML model, which accounts for non-desired outputs. The analysis of panel data and a fixed effects model from 2008 to 2022 finds that both new urbanisation and agricultural GTFP in Jilin Province show an upward trend. Additionally, new urbanisation has a significant positive impact on agricultural GTFP and indirectly enhances efficiency through the proportion of employees in the primary industry. Regional analyses show that the central region has a leading urbanisation level, but regional development is imbalanced; the growth of agricultural GTFP mainly relies on green technology progress, and the decline in technical efficiency requires careful attention. Based on this, it is recommended to promote urban–rural integration and high-quality agricultural development by optimising the spatial layout of new urbanisation, promoting agricultural technological innovation, and promoting industrial restructuring and synergistic development policies.
