“…Farmers who were aware of green and low-carbon production practices were more likely to choose to outsource. Pesticide bag collection monitoring was found to have a significant positive effect on the choice to outsource, likely due to the convenience associated with outsourcing, as mentioned by Zheng et al (2022). Gender was also found to have a significant positive effect on the outsourcing decision, indicating that male heads of households were more inclined to choose outsourcing services.…”

Introduction: Promoting low-carbon development in agriculture is crucial for achieving agricultural modernization. One practical issue worth studying is whether outsourcing services can encourage farmers to adopt low-carbon production practices. This study analyzes the impact of pesticide outsourcing services on the low-carbon production behavior of farmers to provide China with practical recommendations.Methods: This empirical study investigates the impact of pesticide outsourcing services on farmers’ low-carbon production behavior using survey data from 450 rice growers in the Ningxia and Shaanxi provinces by endogenous switching regressions (ESR) model.Results and Discussion: Results showed that 1) outsourcing services have a significant negative impact on farmers’ manual weeding behavior, leading to a reduction in the frequency of manual weeding; 2) outsourcing services have a significant positive impact on farmers’ herbicide application behavior. In other words, participation in outsourcing leads to excessive pesticide application; 3) outsourcing services do not support a green and low-carbon production model where manual weeding replaces herbicide application. Due to the imperfect development of the outsourcing market in China, especially in the northwest region, the construction of outsourcing service system is lagging, and it is difficult for non-professional outsourcing services to play a driving role in green and low-carbon production for farmers, who will often choose the lower-cost mechanical application for maximum profit. The policy implication of this study is the need for a comprehensive and objective understanding of the impact and role of pesticide outsourcing services on farmers’ low-carbon production behavior. This understanding can help improve the market, policy, and other external environments for farmers to participate in outsourcing, ultimately promoting the sustainable development of green and low-carbon agriculture. This paper adds to the discussion of pesticide outsourcing services and farmers’ low-carbon production by drawing different conclusions from previous studies, providing a fresh foundation for policy-making.

“…In addition, this paper's cooperative versus non-cooperative game research method is a static mathematical model study that does not allow for dynamic trend analysis like the evolutionary game approach [ 62 ]. It does not allow for statistically significant results on large samples like the econometric approach [ 63 , 64 ]. This is due to the fact that the current blue carbon in marine ranching is in the initial exploration stage, and the cooperation of multi-subject governance has not yet been reached, so that dynamic evolutionary analysis and regression analysis based on large samples cannot be conducted.…”

“…In addition, the help of new technologies, professional institutions and personnel to help farmers can also effectively develop low-carbon agriculture. For example, for chemical fertilizer, one of the important sources of agricultural carbon emissions, we can actively guide the development of satellite positioning, remote sensing and other technologies to assist agricultural activities, and make full use of information technology to accelerate the promotion of precision fertilization technology [20], which can lead farmers' low-carbon awareness and implement greener and more efficient low-carbon agricultural technologies.…”

It is of great significance to identify the influence factors of low-carbon economy in Beijing. In view of this, this paper proposes an analysis model of influence factors of low-carbon economy in Beijing based on principal component analysis method. Firstly, from the perspective of influencing the development of low-carbon economy, the index of influencing factors of Beijing's low-carbon economy is initially selected, and then Pearson correlation coefficient is used to screen the indicators. Finally, the index system of influence factors of Beijing's low-carbon economy is constructed by the principal component analysis method. Coal consumption and per capita GDP are the key factors affecting the low-carbon economy of Beijing. The daily sewage treatment capacity and the total sown area of crops are the major factors affecting the low-carbon economy of Beijing.
