“…Some researchers focus on individual green production technologies, such as pesticide and chemical fertilizer application [11], soil testing and formula fertilization technology [12], straw recycling technology [13], agricultural film recycling [14], and water-saving irrigation [15], and empirically explore the relevant mechanisms with the help of micro-research data from farmers. Others have conducted extensive demonstrations on the factors influencing farmers' green production behaviors, including internal factors such as farmers' cognition of benefits from green development, perceived value, and educational level [16][17][18], as well as external factors such as policy incentives, social networks, and organizational supports [19][20][21].…”

Green production is crucial in promoting sustainable agricultural practices, ensuring food safety, and protecting the rural ecological environment. Farmers, as the main decision makers of agricultural production, and their green production behaviors (GPBs), directly determine the process of agricultural green development. Based on the survey data of 656 apple growers in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces in 2022, this paper uses a graded response model to measure the information acquisition ability (IAA) of farmers and constructs an ordered Logit model to empirically explore the influence mechanisms of IAA, green benefit cognition (GBC), and new technology learning attitude (NTLA) on farmers’ GPBs. The results show the following: (1) IAA has a significantly positive impact on the adoption of GPBs by farmers, and farmers with a high IAA are more conscious to adopt green production technologies; (2) in the process of IAA affecting farmers’ adoption of GPBs, GBC plays a positive mediating role; (3) NTLAs have a positive moderating effect on the process of GBC affecting farmers’ GPB adoption; (4) there are generational, educational and regional differences in the impact of IAA on farmers’ GPBs. Policy makers should improve rural information facilities, strengthen agricultural technology promotion and training, improve farmers’ IAA and benefit awareness level, and formulate relevant policies to mobilize farmers’ enthusiasm for learning new technologies.

Guiding environmental regulation plays a crucial role in the implementation of village‐level river chief policies, and it is important to explore how guiding environmental regulations affect the policy implementation capacity of village‐level river chiefs. This study focuses on village‐level river chiefs as the research subjects and aims to measure the intensity of environmental regulation guidance from their own perspective. By combining theoretical analysis and empirical research, we delve into the effects of guiding environmental regulations on the policy implementation capacity of village‐level river chiefs. Our findings demonstrate a significant positive impact of guiding environmental regulations on the policy implementation capacity of village‐level river chiefs. Mechanism analysis reveals that environmental cognition, technical cognition and institutional trust play mediating roles in the relationship between guiding environmental regulations and policy implementation capacity. Furthermore, heterogeneity analysis at the village level indicates that the impact of guiding environmental regulations on policy implementation capacity is more pronounced in the western region, where villages have a shorter establishment time of the river chief system and have a greater number of non‐governmental river chiefs. At the individual level, heterogeneity analysis reveals that the impact of guiding environmental regulations on policy implementation capacity is more significant among individuals in lower education groups and those serving as representatives in the people's congress. Based on our research findings, this paper proposes countermeasures and suggestions to enhance the effectiveness of guiding environmental regulations. These include formulating scientific and reasonable guiding environmental regulation requirements, providing village‐level river chiefs with enhanced governance resources, and emphasizing the mediating roles of environmental cognition, technical understanding and institutional trust. Additionally, we highlight the importance of enhancing the pertinence and universality of the specific content of guiding environmental regulations.
