Farmers' adoption of agriculture green production technologies: perceived value or policy-driven?

Heliyon, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 10(1), P. e23925 - e23925

Published: Dec. 19, 2023

Understanding the underlying reasons for farmers' AGPT adoption in context of resource environment tightening and agricultural carbon reduction has become crucial to promote agriculture sustainable development. This paper uses multiple ordered regression model probit test impact perceived value on their green production technologies (AGPT) by using first-hand data from 613 rice farmers Hunan, explores effect mechanism policy subsidies market incentives AGPT, investigates differences different stages. The results showed that, (1)farmers' is significantly affected value, which benefits promotes adoption, while risks opposite. But stages influenced value. soil testing fertilization technology (STFT) pre-production stage benefits; pest control (GPCT) mid-production both risks; straw return (SRT) post-production risks. (2) Farmers' can be encouraged subsidies, also have moderating decreasing negative influence behaviour. (3) Further analysis reveals that compensate limitations greatly regulate encourage them use technologies. Consequently, Government should actively publicize organize training technologies, provide diversified subsidy programmes And governments improve quality certification system price products, so as help adopting achieve an increase income.

Farmers’ Endowments, Technology Perception and Green Production Technology Adoption Behavior

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(9), P. 7385 - 7385

Published: April 28, 2023

The motivation of this paper is to explore the influence farmers’ endowments and technology perceptions on green production adoption behaviors. Based a survey 471 grain farmers in main grain-producing areas Shandong Province, Heckman model was used empirically analyze their behavior technologies, moderating effect perception relationship between two further investigated. study showed that: (1) More than half adopted more three only 11.5% did not adopt them. In terms structure, rate pest control highest at 67.7%, while moderate deep pine lowest 32.7%. structure should be optimized. (2) After controlling for sample selection bias, have significant positive ordinary least square regression overestimates by 8.5% compared with model. (3) Technology cognition can effectively promote adoption, which technology–economic higher that technology–environmental cognition. (4) There heterogeneity effects different subjects types. above findings provide an in-depth explanation activating endogenous drivers agriculture development.

The Government Subsidy Policies for Organic Agriculture Based on Evolutionary Game Theory

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(6), P. 2246 - 2246

Published: March 7, 2024

Organic agriculture is a sustainable form of farming that can protect the environment. However, high production costs organic deter farmers from switching to farming. To support development agriculture, many governments offer subsidies or retailers. We develop an evolutionary game model investigate effect government on and conditions under which should subsidize find subsidizing retailers promote agricultural development. Government lower requirement for social responsibility premium offer. Furthermore, if consumer’s sufficiently low, government’s best choice If medium, farmers. Finally, higher motivate more produce products when subsidizes Conversely, farmers, it conducive reducing burden purchase products.

A Study on Green Agricultural Production Decision-Making by Agricultural Cooperatives under Government Subsidies

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(3), P. 1219 - 1219

Published: Jan. 31, 2024

As a result of the ongoing development and advancement green agriculture in China, consumers have benefited numerous ways from agricultural products. Consumers are increasingly attempting to purchase However, there still some problems relation products, such as inability co-operatives meet consumers’ demands due low return on investment To solve above problems, this paper constructs an evolutionary game model involving government, co-operatives, consumers. In addition, simulation experiments were conducted simulate analyze stakeholders’ strategic decisions different situations. The results study show that government subsidies effective promoting production products by cooperatives. yield degree greenness additional branding benefits for cooperatives can significantly influence willingness produce consume Finally, suggestions given problems. findings provide valuable reference subsidy strategy makers insights into sustainable industry.

Acceptance Intention and Behavioral Response to Soil-Testing Formula Fertilization Technology: An Empirical Study of Agricultural Land in Shaanxi Province

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 20(2), P. 951 - 951

Published: Jan. 4, 2023

Soil-testing formula fertilization technology is a powerful tool for preserving arable land and ensuring food security. The purpose of this study was to investigate farmers’ acceptance intentions behavioral responses soil-testing technology. Based on the theory planned behavior, paper adopts partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method, with 295 farmers in high-standard farmland project area Shaanxi Province as samples. research results show that attitude (ATT), subjective norms (SN), perceived control (PBC) all had significant positive influence intentions. order impact effects from large small ATT > SN PBC. ecological rationality farmers, communication demonstration between neighbors, effective technical training, well consulting guidance services, can better enhance apply This could help provide references policymaking improve adoption
