Exploring the Construction Path of Regional Agricultural Industries in Northern Anhui from the Perspective of Field Theory Coupled with Rural Revitalization

Abstract

Under the strategic context of comprehensively advancing rural revitalization and building livable and harmonious rural areas, the northern Anhui region, as a key advantageous zone for specialty agricultural products, has seen its industrial upgrading become a pivotal link in driving high-quality regional development. To systematically address the challenges faced by the local specialty agricultural industry, this study introduces Bourdieu's field theory and constructs a three-dimensional "capital-habitus-field" analytical framework for in-depth analysis. The research identifies critical issues such as fragmented value chains, lagging brand development, and insufficient integration between production and rural communities in northern Anhui, which stem from structural contradictions arising from blocked capital transformation pathways and delayed modernization of actor habits within the industrial field. Based on these findings, the study proposes a four-dimensional restructuring approach: fostering cohesive new collaborative habits, promoting organic integration of diverse capital to stimulate endogenous momentum, innovating collaborative mechanisms to improve institutional safeguards, and establishing a value realization system to enhance brand influence. This research not only provides a systematic solution for agricultural transformation and upgrading in northern Anhui but also offers a theoretical model and practical reference for rural revitalization efforts in similar regions.
