Résumé de thèse :
Agriculture constitutes an economic sector which provides multiple benefits, such as food security and ecosystem services, which is the basic industry supporting the construction and development of national economy. This sector also generates negative externalities, such as water and land deterioration due to agrochemical pollution (Adegbeye et al., 2020). With the continuous deterioration of agricultural pollution, measuring and understanding agricultural performance evaluation is the important premise to achieve agricultural green development and clean production (Chen et al., 2021). However, there have been less studies on benchmarking schemes based on the principles of sustainability for the agricultural sector than for its industrial sector (Shen et al., 2018), which is ignored by scholars to a certain extent. It is necessary to measure the agricultural performance to explore the sources of growth or decline under the constraints of resources and the environment. Environmental performance mainly involves efficiency scores, productivity estimation and shadow price estimation of undesirable output, which haves an urgent accurate and comprehensive estimation to provide useful and valuable information for the government pursuing sustainable development.
