In recent years, south Sichuan region actively responds to the national call for green development and devotes itself to the low-carbon development of agriculture. In this paper, we first calculated the agricultural carbon emissions from 2012 to 2022 in southern Sichuan, and then calculated the efficiency of agricultural carbon emissions with super-efficiency SBM model. The results show that the total amount of agricultural carbon emissions in southern Sichuan has been decreasing over the past 11 years, with the largest decrease in Yibin, the smallest in Zigong and the largest in Luzhou, zigong and Neijiang became effective in 2021, followed by Yibin, which gained the most, and Luzhou, which was the least efficient and still ineffective, the level of agricultural economic development and the rate of urbanization have played a positive role in promoting the efficiency of agricultural carbon emissions. Based on the above results, the paper puts forward some suggestions, such as optimizing industrial structure, developing organic agriculture, popularizing energy-saving and environmental protection machinery, etc.
