Analysis of the Mechanism of Land Consolidation on Rural Economic Development

Abstract

As a crucial means of optimizing rural land use and enhancing agricultural productivity, land consolidation plays a key role in promoting rural economic development. In recent years, with the adjustment of rural economic structures and the advancement of the rural revitalization strategy, increasing attention has been paid to the mechanisms of land consolidation and its impact on rural economies. However, the implementation of land consolidation still faces numerous challenges, such as imbalanced land use efficiency and inadequate mechanisms for the distribution of farmers’ interests. This paper systematically reviews the connotation and models of land consolidation, deeply analyzes its mechanisms in promoting agricultural industrial upgrading, non-agricultural industrial development, rural labor force optimization, and ecological environment improvement. Additionally, it explores the practical challenges and optimization paths of land consolidation in driving rural economic development, aiming to provide theoretical support and practical reference for the efficient allocation of land resources and the sustainable development of rural economies.
