China’s coal-based energy structure is the main reason for the current high-level air pollution and carbon emissions. Now in the North China Plain, the government is vigorously promoting “coal to gas” and “coal to electricity” in the country and the vast rural areas. The development and utilization of biomass resources in agricultural areas is also an effective means of replacing coal. We propose the idea of forming a complementary rural energy structure of “biogas, briquetting, electricity (BBE)” model based on centralized biogas production (CBP) and straw briquetting fuel (SBF) to improve the rural energy structure. This article uses emergy analysis methods to analyze actual cases. It needs to have strengths and avoid weaknesses in mode selection. The process of the analysis reveals the disadvantages and improvement measures. Under the current capacity load, the emergy input and output, eco-economic indicators, sustainable development indicators, environmental load indicators, and economic value have their own advantages and disadvantages. Assuming 100% capacity load, the indicators have great optimization space. Reducing labor input during the planting phase can effectively reduce emergy input. The government needs to provide corresponding support based on the strengths and weaknesses of the project to keep the project sustainability. The development of complementary integration based on local conditions is an important measure to optimize the energy consumption structure in rural areas and improve the ecological environment.

The Impact

As a large agricultural country and a populous country, the development of agricultural and rural areas is the foundation for China to realize a national rejuvenation. Leisure agriculture is the main carrier of industry integration in China’s rural areas and it is an effective means to realize rural revitalization and increase farmers’ income. Industry convergence refers to a dynamic development process in which different industries or different areas of the same industry penetrate and intersect each other and finally merge into one, gradually forming a new industry. However, there is no empirical study on the staged impact of rural agriculture on rural household income and regional differences. This article breaks down the action mechanisms, analyzes the linear impact of leisure agriculture on the income of farmers and divides the development types of leisure agriculture according to the characteristics of leisure agriculture development. Using the provincial panel data from 2008 to 2016, the panel dual-threshold regression model was used to verify the regional differences in the impact of leisure agriculture on farmers’ income, from the perspective of leisure agriculture on farmers’ nominal and actual incomes. Then, the robustness model was used to test leisure agriculture’s impact on farmers’ income. The results show that the impact of leisure agriculture on the income of farmers is staged. Among them, the impact of leisure agriculture on the nominal income of farmers is an “inverted U-shaped” structure and the impact on actual income is an “N-type” structure. At the same time, the paper also finds that the regional differences in the impact of leisure agriculture on farmers’ income are significant and the constraints on the development of leisure agriculture in different regions are different. Based on this, it is proposed that the government should respond to the different development stages of leisure agriculture according to the time, and according to the different development areas of leisure agriculture. Responses should also be based on local conditions, and work to strengthen the participation of farmers.

Abstract The sustainable development of China's economy has brought about a large increase in energy consumption of residents, especially in rural areas. Nowadays, the per capita energy consumption in rural areas has exceeded the urban residents. Therefore, it is of great significance to pay attention to the energy consumption of rural households in order to realize the harmonious development of energy and economy in China. Based on the survey data of rural households in central and eastern China, this paper uses the method of CLAD estimation of Tobit model to study the influencing factors and structural characteristics of rural households' energy consumption, so as to analyze how to deal with the rapid growth of rural energy consumption and optimize the rural energy structure. The results show that the energy structure of rural households is unreasonable, rural families are using more traditional and inferior cooking heating energy, and there are some differences in different regions; Family characteristics, family wealth and energy conservation initiative have an impact on total energy consumption and different types of energy. Increasing income, education level, electrical appliances quantity and energy conservation initiative are conducive to optimizing the energy structure of the family and promoting the transformation of energy structure.

Over more than forty years of deepening reform and opening up, China has become the second largest world economy after the United States. As a component of energy system in China, rural energy is becoming more and more important. With the development of rural economy in China, the efforts of energy conservation and emission reduction have been continuously strengthened and expanded in China. Sustained, safe, and green energy supply is the material basis for the sustainable development of rural economy in China, and it is also a prerequisite for improving the quality of life of rural residents in China. Given living habits and income levels, energy consumption in rural areas in China is still dominated by traditional energy sources such as coal and firewood. There is little use and consumption of new energy. Rural energy is gradually declining for the investment in special funds for rural energy projects is not enough. New energy technology research and development are lagging. At the same time, rural areas have low using efficiency but high demand of energy, which leads more contradictions. In order to meet the needs of farmers for energy production and increase their income, it is necessary to study the countermeasures of rural energy development, which becomes an important part of the construction of a new socialist countryside. Based on the analysis of rural energy developing status and rural energy consumption structure in China, this article pointed out the problems including unreasonable energy structure, insufficient supply, the contradiction between supply and demand, and the lagging construction of follow-up service management system, and uncompleted energy support policies and imperfect incentive measures. We also put forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions.

Purpose Rural energy policy is a critical measure to fight the long-standing poverty issue in China. Energy poverty, per se, is one important yet too often neglected dimension of poverty, and one of the biggest challenges in rural China during the 40-year rural reform. Reducing energy poverty is one of the poverty alleviation tasks and the goals of energy transition in the rural areas. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the status of energy poverty in China, discussing the challenges of energy poverty reduction, and then proposing the potential measures. Design/methodology/approach Using various data (including the authors’ survey data), this paper analyzes the volume and structure of energy use, and affordability of energy for the rural households, then examines the impacts of energy poverty on health, social and productivity, and finally discusses the infrastructure, cognitive ability, culture, income, etc., that shape the challenges to energy poverty reduction. Findings In addition to raising the household income, it is urgently needed to enforce the collaborations among government departments, and to improve the energy infrastructure according to local conditions, helping the residential environment cognition. Originality/value Energy poverty is almost a too often neglected issue in rural China. Few in existing literature comprehensively investigate this critically important social economic problem. This paper contributes to the profound understanding in energy poverty and the possible approaches to alleviate it.

Land consolidation is an effective means of promoting the regularization of fragmented arable land, optimizing the allocation of land resources and improving the environment in farming areas, as well as an important means of increasing the economic returns of farming households, and it is important to scientifically assess the ecological and economic benefits of agricultural land consolidation. In this study, participatory rural assessment (PRA) was used to investigate, in detail, the meaning, satisfaction and changes in farmland rehabilitation before and after implementation. The accuracy of the remote sensing data was verified through an experiment on the net cultivation coefficient. We used a sample of 447 farmers from nine villages in Manas County to study the differences in plot area, crop unit value, income and irrigation before and after the farmers’ integration. We found that, after the integration of farmland, the cultivated area increased significantly, the crop unit yield increased by at least 42.66%, the average income of farmers increased by a value of RMB 4324/ha and the water savings were all higher than 7.18 m3/ha. At the same time, after the integration of farmland, the number of plots was significantly reduced, the arable land became more regular and the microclimate of the farmland improved significantly. The government and individuals should follow the concept and construction requirements of the “community of life in mountain, water, forest, lake, grass and sand”, consider the economic and ecological benefits of land consolidation, ensure the quality of farmland ecosystems, actively explore new models of land consolidation and stimulate the economic vitality of rural areas.
