Study on the Impact of Data Elements on the Efficiency of Net Carbon Sinksin Agriculture

Abstract

Modern agriculture has an important mission to reduce emissions and increase sinks in the context of the "dual carbon" strategy. With the rapid development of digital technology, data elements are profoundly changing the traditional management mode of agricultural carbon sinks. This paper analyzes the unique mechanism of data elements in enhancing the efficiency of agricultural net carbon sinks by systematically combing the historical development of agricultural carbon sink management. The study finds that a data-driven system based on Internet of Things (IoT), remote sensing and blockchain technologies can significantly optimize the agricultural carbon management process: on the one hand, it can reduce the carbon emission intensity through field measures such as precision fertilization and irrigation; on the other hand, it can obtain additional benefits by participating in the market transaction with the help of credible carbon sink data. The study also found that the current application of data elements in agricultural carbon management still suffers from low acceptance by farmers and insufficient technical adaptability. In the future, it is necessary to improve the data standard system and develop simple application tools to further enhance the role of data elements in promoting the efficiency of agricultural carbon sinks, so as to provide a new impetus for realizing the green and low-carbon transformation of agriculture.
