Abstract: Based on the provincial panel data,the agricultural carbon emissions and carbon emission intensity in China was estimated,and the spatial differences and temporal trends was analyzed.At the same time,according to Kaya identity and LMDI index decomposition method,the factors that have significant impact on China’s agricultural carbon emissions were summarized.The results showed that from 2000 to 2018,the intensity of agricultural carbon emissions,the level of non-urbanization and human resources investment were the main factors to curb carbon emissions,while the agricultural structure,agricultural production efficiency and economic scale were the main promoting factors of carbon emissions.

Key words: low carbon agriculture, influencing factors, carbon emissions, carbon emission intensity
