Cleaner household energy for agricultural green production can significantly alleviate energy poverty and food security, thus contributing to global sustainable development. Using survey micro-data collected from Sichuan Province, the ordered probit model, OLS model, and instrumental variables approach were applied for empirical analysis. The results show that: (1) cleaner household energy significantly enhances farmer’s agricultural green production awareness and improves agricultural green production levels, which is still significant after treating endogenous issues with the conditional mixing process estimation method and 2SLS model; (2) health plays a partially mediating effect of cleaner household energy on agricultural green production awareness and agricultural green production levels; (3) environmental protection awareness and digital literacy have a moderating effect and reinforce the positive impact of cleaner household energy on agricultural green production awareness and agricultural green production levels. This research suggests that governments can enhance the impact of cleaner household energy on agricultural green production through price and subsidy mechanisms.
