Value co-creation is an important driving force for rural spatial construction and agricultural transformation and improvement, as well as an important means of establishing sustainable livelihoods in rural areas. The spatial pro duction based on the interaction between production processes and geographic al space in sociological theory promotes the construction of physical, social, and cultural fields and enhances the innovation capacity of rural spatial production. This article takes Xiaozhou Village in Guangzhou as an example and uses observation to study the value co-creation process of different types of fields. Value co-creation is the driving force for promoting agricultural production, social activities, folk revitalization, homestay leisure, and other leisure experience activities in the physical, social, and cultural fields, and has become an important support for the sustainable livelihood of Xiaoz hou Village. The digitization of the field helps to promote the diversification of rural physical, social, and cultural spaces, and opens a path for rural construction in the new era.
