Abstract:The implementation of smart agriculture policy serves to guarantee and provide vital support for the advancement of environmentally sustainable and high-quality agricultural practices, as well as the realization of a rural revitalization strategy. Thus, a two-dimensional policy analysis framework based on policy tools and new quality productivity has been constructed for the purpose of coding and analyzing the policy texts issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the State Council during the period from January 2016 to June 2024 in support of the development of smart agriculture. The study reveals that policy tools predominantly concentrate on supply-based instruments, particularly those pertaining to technology innovation and talent development. Conversely, demand-based policy tools are less prevalent. In terms of elements of new quality productivity, the current policies focus more on the input of labour means in the promotion of smart agriculture development. Based on these findings, this paper recommends that more comprehensive and balanced policies should be formulated so as to ensure the long-term healthy development of smart agriculture. To achieve this goal, special policies should be formulated and the policy tools should be enriched at three levels, that is, labors, labor objects, and labor means, and cooperation with private enterprises should be actively carried out.
