Abstract

At present, “the three rural issues: agriculture, rural areas, and peasants” constitute the core problem for farmers, and the essence of farmers’ problems lies in income. Promoting an increase in farmers’ income is not only the top priority of “the three rural issues” but also the starting point and endpoint of agricultural mechanization. To achieve this new goal in the new era, further improvement of the level of agricultural mechanization and its popularity is crucial. We test the relationship between mechanization and farmers’ incomes using a sample of China for 2013-2020. We also test the mediating effects of agricultural sown area and agricultural electrification. The results show a significant positive contribution of mechanization to farmers’ income. In the mechanism test, we found significant mediating effects of sown area and agricultural electrification. Therefore, we make the following policy recommendations: it is proposed to improve the level of agricultural mechanization and its popularity through diversified means of science and technology innovation, and then promote the expansion of the total sown area of crops, the increase of farmers’ income, and the improvement of farmers’ living standard and quality of life.
