Introduction Global crop straw production has increased sharply, leading to serious challenges in burning and disposal. The unsustainable practice of open wastes valuable renewable resources poses significant environmental threats, such as air pollution soil degradation, that undermine global agricultural sustainability. Despite extensive efforts by the Chinese government promote resource utilization (CSRU), low farmer participation reliance on a singular technological structure remain persistent issues. Methods Drawing prospect theory, this study integrates behavioral economics policy analysis examine how farmers’ risk preferences, including aversion, loss nonlinear probability weighting, interact with heterogeneous regulations, incentives, restrictions, guidance, shape CSRU behavior.

Scale management has become an essential form of modern agricultural production. However, it is still unclear how farm size influences farmers’ pesticide packaging waste recycling behavior (FPPWRB). Based on the data from China Rural Revitalization Survey 2020, this study quantitatively explores impact FPPWRB. This found that (1) ratio for FPPWRB low, with only about 41.7% sample farmers expressing participation in recycling. (2) The empirical results show every 1% increase size, probability increases by 3.59%. (3) Farmers urban suburbs or younger are more inclined to (4) Farm can improve enhancing environmental cognition levels. research provides insights into improper disposal and offers references formulating policies related resource utilization waste. Thus, findings help provide a reference introduction manage waste, which, turn, promote sustainable development.
