Analysis of convergence trends and driving factors of environmental efficiency of pig farming in China by Jingjing Wang, Chang'e Zhao, Silin Chen

“…Most provinces within constrained development regions and potential growth regions converge to the high-level club, while the disparities in environmental efficiency of pig farming are most pronounced in key development regions. (3) The research results of driving factors show that scale level exhibits a “U-shaped” effect on the convergence of environmental efficiency in pig farming toward high-level clubs in China, and most provinces have surpassed the inflection point. …”
