“…This implies that local community members will actively participate in all stages of sustainable mangrove forest management if they can perceive the value of mangrove ecosystem services. This finding is in line with Zhang et al's [104] study, which revealed that farmers' perceived values of farmland significantly affected their participation in ecological environmental protection on farmland. Similarly, Hernes and Metzger [114] showed that the active participation of stakeholders in biosphere management and conservation activities was significantly affected by stakeholders' perceived environmental values, such as wildlife values and the beauty of nature.…”

“…These services could potentially contribute to both the improvement of human well-being and the socio-economic development of a society. Many scholars have explored people's perceptions of the ecological values of a natural resource based on the ecosystem services it provides [101][102][103][104]. This study also measured participants' perceptions of the ecological values provided by a mangrove forest based on subjective valuation.…”

Community participation in an environmental corporate social responsibility (CSR) project can help business enterprises effectively develop projects that respond to the actual demands of the community and effectively utilize a firm’s resources. This study aims to investigate factors that affect community participation in each stage of environmental corporate social responsibility project development. The environmental corporate social responsibility project explored in this study is a sustainable mangrove forest management project in the Pakprasae sub-district of Rayong province in Thailand. This study has tested whether enterprise-related factors (such as perceived CSR credibility and organization–public relationship (OPR) quality) and participant-related factors (such as ecological knowledge, perceived ecological values, and expected benefits from participation in the project, both monetary and non-monetary related benefits) could predict community participation in an environmental corporate social responsibility project development initiated by a business enterprise. Questionnaire surveys were administered to 355 community members who were the target group of this environmental corporate social responsibility project from June to July 2022. The collected data were inspected and analyzed using an inferential statistical technique. Multiple regression analyses were performed to test significant factors that affected community members’ participation in planning, implementing, and monitoring the project. The results revealed that perceived ecological values were the strongest predictor of participation in all stages of the project, including planning, implementing, and monitoring the project. Perceived CSR credibility and OPR quality also significantly affected participation in all stages, whereas ecological knowledge significantly affected participation only in the monitoring stage. These findings suggest that to promote community participation in each stage of environmental corporate social responsibility project development, it is important to enhance community members’ perceived ecological values, and community members should be educated in ecology to enhance participation in the monitoring stage.

“…Secondly, it is supposed to vigorously promote land transfer and strengthen machinery input, so as to improve grain production efficiency and profit. Third, many studies advocate that grain subsidies should be increased to make grain growing truly profitable for farmers [ 61 , 63 ]. Fourth, fostering diversified grain production subjects.…”

Non-grain production of cropland (NGPCL) is a common phenomenon in the process of rapid urbanization in order to meet the diversified food demand and prosperity of the rural economy. However, excessive NGPCL will threaten grain production. How to control the moderate development of NGPCL in order to achieve the balance between food security and rural development has become a salient issue. In this study, we constructed a framework to measure NGPCL, revealed the spatial–temporal pattern of NGPCL, and then analyzed its influencing factors from the perspective of the human–land relationship. The results indicate that, firstly, the overall degree of NGPCL in China experienced an increase from 0.44 to 0.51, while the gap among cities was consistently enlarging, with the range value increasing from 0.74 to 0.91. Secondly, the spatial pattern of NGPCL was high in the northwest and southeast, and low in the northeast and central regions. The southern economic developed area exhibited the highest increase, while the Inner Mongolia, northwest China, and traditional agricultural areas experienced a decreasing trend in NGPCL. Thirdly, the spatial agglomeration of NGPCL has been intensified, with the Gansu–Xinjiang Desert plateau, southeast coastal economic belt, and urban agglomeration areas exhibiting a “high–high” agglomeration, while the traditional agricultural areas exhibited “low–low” agglomeration. Fourthly, NGPCL is positively correlated with the urbanization rate, land fragmentation, landscape diversity, land price, and grain production policy, while it is negatively linked with the agricultural employment rate, agricultural machinery level, and cultivated land per capita. The findings of this research are not only deepen the understanding of NGPCL, but are also of great significance for policy makers in order to propose targeted control measures.

Farmers in China generally have unreasonable fertilization behavior. Agricultural extension services are not only related to popularizing scientific fertilization technology but also affect farmers' subsequent technology use behavior to a great extent, which is a critical factor in promoting farmers' scientific fertilization. This study aims to clarify whether there are differences in the impact of agricultural extension services provided by different organizations on farmers' fertilization behavior, and to explore the feasible path of agricultural extension services to promote farmers' scientific fertilization. This study used the survey data of 1262 farmers in the main rice-producing areas of Hubei Province to empirically analyze the impact and mechanism of agricultural extension services on farmers' scientific fertilization behavior. The study finds that agricultural extension services have a significant positive impact on farmers' scientific fertilization behavior. Moreover, the impact of different agricultural extension service providers on farmers' scientific fertilization behavior varies. Specifically, the public sector and farmers' organizations have a more significant impact on farmers' scientific fertilization behavior than the private sector. The public and private sectors promote farmers' scientific fertilization behavior by increasing their value perception. These findings help clarify the influencing factors of farmers' fertilization behavior, clarify the path of agricultural technology extension services, and provide practical policy guidance for developing countries to reduce fertilizer effectively.
