Abstract

The sustainable management of cultivated land resources is essential for attaining the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 15 (Life on Land). Rapid urbanization has posed significant challenges to cultivated land systems. Therefore, understanding the interaction mechanisms between new-type urbanization (NTU) and cultivated land use transition (CLUT) is vital for addressing resource constraints and promoting coordinated development of human and land systems.
