“…Internal and external factors influencing the green development of agriculture have been discussed. On the one hand, awareness of environmental protection among agricultural producers is positively correlated with adopting green production behavior and promotes the growth of PGTFP (Obubuafo et al, 2008). On the other hand, the allocation of production factors cannot be ignored; these mainly include the allocation of agricultural producers to factors such as technology, labor, and capital.…”

Achieving green, healthy, and cyclical development in China’s pig industry not only enables the adjustment of the rural industrial structure but also helps meet community demand for safe meat, thus playing a critical role in promoting sustainable agricultural development. This research utilizes panel data from 21 provinces (districts) in China from 2004 to 2021 to construct an evaluation system for green total factor productivity in pig breeding (PGTFP). The super-efficient slacks-based measure (SBM) model is employed to measure PGTFP. Conversely, regional disparities in PGTFP are determined using the Dagum Gini coefficient method. Furthermore, we analyzed the convergence of pig breeding in different regions. The findings indicate that PGTFP in China exhibits fluctuations, with the highest PGTFP, observed in areas of constrained development. Development differences in PGTFP across China have gradually diminished, with the greatest development differences observed within potential growth areas. Furthermore, disparities between focused development areas and potential growth areas are the most pronounced and are primarily attributable to the super-variable density. Both α- and β-convergence are observed for PGTFP at the national level and within each breeding area. However, the α-convergence pattern during COVID-19 is not obvious. Consequently, the formulation of differentiated farming development strategies and fostering the coordinated development of pig breeding in all regions have become imperative. Meanwhile, preparing contingency prevention measures to promote stable and high-quality pig breeding is necessary.

“…Referring to other scholars' research [35][36][37], choose "age," "number of annual agricultural training," "agricultural income to household income ratio," "cultivated land area," "frequency of communication with neighbors about agricultural green production," "green production risk," and "green production behavior of other people in the village" as control variables. Based on the differences between the four business types of new agricultural business entities, this paper introduces a new control variable "business scale.…”

The new agricultural business entities are key carriers of modern agriculture in China, and increasing their willingness to engage in green production is critical to the country’s agricultural green transformation. The Economic and Social Man Hypothesis and Externality Theory are used to construct analysis models of the green production willingness of new agricultural business entities based on 106 survey data points from Shanghai to study the impact of benefit perception, environmental regulation, and their synergy on the green production willingness of new agricultural business entities. The results show that (1) benefit perception and environmental regulation can significantly improve the willingness of new agricultural business entities to engage in green production. Economic benefit perception, ecological benefit perception, guidance regulation, and restraint regulation are all important influencing factors. (2) There is a significant synergy between ecological benefit perception and environmental regulation in increasing the willingness of new agricultural business entities to engage in green production. Further research revealed that the synergistic item of ecological benefit perception and guidance regulation, as well as the synergistic item of ecological benefit perception and restraint regulation, significantly increases the willingness of new agricultural business entities to green production. The government should strengthen the perceptions of the economic and ecological benefit of new agricultural business entities to green production; change the incentive regulation and strengthen guidance regulation and restraint regulations; enhance the synergy between ecological benefit perception and guidance regulation; and enhance the synergy between ecological benefit perception and restraint regulation.

“…Numerous empirical studies have been conducted to examine the factors affecting farmers' livestock manure management practices. These factors, among others, include individual traits such as cognitive status (Obubuafo et al, 2008;Afroz et al, 2009), family traits such as population scale and land size (Waithaka et al, 2009), business traits such as breeding scale as well as organizational resources (Kassie et al, 2013), and policy conditions such as government supervision and subsidy (Xu et al, 2020). Other studies looked at how different environmental policies, such as incentive-based policies (Zhang and Jiang, 2016) and command-and-control regulations (Zhang et al, 2014), influenced farmers' manure management behavior (Li, 2019;Wang, 2020).…”

Disentangling the heterogeneous effects of different support policies on livestock and poultry farmers’ willingness to utilize manure resources: Evidence from central China

China’s livestock and poultry industries have undergone massive transformations, with far-reaching implications for resource consumption and environmental issues. Utilizing waste resources from livestock and poultry, which requires increased farmer participation, is critical for China to meet its goal of lowering carbon emissions while also advancing high-quality animal husbandry. To this end, this study develops a model based on stimulus-organism-response (SOR) theory to explore the impact of different policy instruments on farmers’ willingness to utilize resources, as well as the mediating effect of farmers’ perception and the moderating effect of farmers’ attitude toward risk. Using OLS and Bootstrap estimation on survey data from 607 farmers from 11 counties in China’s Hunan province, this study reaches the following main results. First, incentive policies have a significant positive effect on farmers’ willingness to utilize resources. The service policy has the greatest positive impact among the various incentive policies considered, followed by the subsidy policy, while the impact of the propaganda policy is insignificant. Second, farmers’ perceptions mediate the effect of incentive policies on their willingness to utilize resources. Finally, risk attitude negatively impacts farmers’ willingness to utilize resources, indicating that the more conservative a farmer’s risk preference, the greater the impact of farmers’ perception on willingness to utilize resources, and vice versa. To achieve sustainable livestock production, policymakers should prioritize measures that can improve and strengthen regulatory control, encourage education and technology adoption related to resource utilization, and offer subsidies for manure treatment and utilization.
