Behavioral decision-making of the government, farmer-specialized cooperatives, and farmers regarding the quality and safety of agricultural products

Abstract

The quality and safety of agricultural products is very important for farmers' professional cooperatives. This study incorporates the government, farmers' professional cooperatives and farmers into the evolutionary game model to explore the game relationship and evolutionary path of decision-making among the three parties related to the quality and safety of agricultural products. Through the dynamic analysis of decision-making replication, the analysis of strategy evolution stability and the verification of numerical simulation experiments, it is shown that the decision-making behavior of the government, farmers' professional cooperatives and farmers under the conditions of agricultural product quality and safety is the result of the game between three stakeholders; the government, farmers' professional cooperatives and farmers The evolution process of the decision-making behavior to the ideal state is affected by many factors, and the value ranges of different factors have different effects on the convergence speed of the three stakeholders to the ideal state; when certain conditions are met, the government, farmers' professional cooperatives and farmers' three The decision-making behavior of each stakeholder can evolve into an ideal state, and effective government supervision can promote the cooperatives to manage the green production of farmers, and then effectively encourage farmers to take the initiative in green production. In order to provide useful suggestions for the government to make safety supervision decisions, to effectively manage cooperatives, and to stimulate active green production behaviors by farmers.

Research of blockchain-embedded agricultural quality credit regulation influencing factors

“…Relevant studies have pointed out that government regulation, social governance and detection technology are the key factors affecting the food fraud problem in China (Niu et al ., 2021). Effective government regulation can promote cooperatives to manage farmers' green production, which in turn effectively encourages farmers to take the initiative to participate in green production and improve the quality and safety of agricultural products (Teng et al ., 2022). Measures such as increasing the punishment of problematic food, the implementation of quality and safety inspection and testing standards and increasing market surveillance have a better effect on the quality and safety control of agricultural products and can improve the quality and safety level of the food supply chain.…”

Study on the evolutionary game of the three parties in the combined medical and health-care PPP project

“…It is hypothesized that the three parties in the game, namely the government, the private sector and the public, are all finite rational persons who do not fully understand each other's strategies and efficiency functions, and that the strategies of the three parties in the game are constantly being adjusted until the optimal strategy is found. It is hypothesized that the government department aims to achieve the social interest and the private sector and the public aim to maximize their own interests ( 20 ).…”

Research on Multilateral Collaboration Strategies in Agricultural Seed Quality Assurance

“…In agricultural systems, the stakeholders involved in seed quality assurance make decisions based on their interests and information 14 . To achieve the objectives of seed quality assurance, it is imperative to establish robust systems and mechanisms, guiding the parties towards collaborative relationships rather than adversarial ones, and collectively propelling the healthy and sustainable development of seeds 15 . This paper primarily addresses the following research questions: How can seed companies strike a balance between ensuring seed quality and reducing costs?…”
