Improving agro-ecological efficiency can help reduce poverty, especially in ecologically fragile regions like the Three Gorges Reservoir Region. Addressing urban-rural income disparity is also crucial for poverty alleviation.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Agricultural Economics
- Development Studies
Background:
- Ecological degradation is linked to poverty, creating a poverty-environment cycle.
- Agro-ecological efficiency's impact on poverty reduction remains under-researched.
- Ecological poverty alleviation is critical in vulnerable regions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between agro-ecological efficiency and poverty reduction.
- To analyze the influence of agro-ecological efficiency on poverty alleviation in the Three Gorges Reservoir Region (TGRR).
Main Methods:
- Panel data analysis from 25 counties/districts in the TGRR (2006-2017).
- Utilized cross-correlation and regression coefficients to assess the impact.
Main Results:
- Significant heterogeneity in agro-ecological efficiency across the TGRR, with middle areas showing lower efficiency.
- Enhanced regional agro-ecological efficiency correlates with accelerated poverty alleviation.
- Increasing urban-rural income disparity hinders poverty reduction efforts.
Conclusions:
- Agro-ecological efficiency is a key factor in poverty alleviation strategies.
- Policy interventions should focus on improving agro-ecological efficiency and reducing income inequality.
- Findings provide a basis for targeted ecological poverty alleviation policies in the TGRR.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
