An Approach to Economic Growth and Environment Effects in Northeast Asia

Abstract

Global achievement of urbanization and farming revitalization in the past few years has taken significant environmental impacts linked to the relative industry sectors, including Northeast Asia and China-Russia Economic Corridor. The environmental degradation-energy shortage-farmland reduction-food security nexus need be urgently explored to improve the sustainability and environmental management, as significance of rural revitalization policies. Consequently, assessing agricultural emissions, livestock waste and the related biogas development is the crux in the nexus treatment. This paper focuses on a Northeast Asia context and analyse the environment-economy relationship applying panel cointegration and panel estimation methods, considering the features of agricultural emissions and animal wastes in Northeast Asia national economies from 1992 to 2016, and explore an open and international farming perspective for rural context. It is indicated a long-run co-integrated curve like Environmental Kuznets Curve between the agricultural environment and economy index. It could be one of the most significant cooperation issues around the region to improve this agriculture related ecology level and the corresponding trade and fund.
