“…Finally, regarding the control factors, contrary to what some previous studies [42,44] concluded, there is no significant relationship between age, sex or working hours and green production practices. Education level has a significant positive impact on green production behavior, which is consistent with the conclusion of the existing research [43].…”

“…Farmers with a higher education level have a deeper understanding of the comprehensive effects of green production and a stronger sense of social responsibility, so they are more willing to implement green production behavior [43]. Farmers with expertise in animal husbandry, economics and management are more willing to carry out standardized farming and are more likely to implement green production methods [44]. Thus, Hypothesis 4 is proposed: Hypothesis 4.…”

The green production behavior of pig farmers is the basis for high-quality development in animal husbandry. In order to solve the problem of poor green production behaviors in small- and medium-sized pig farmers, it is necessary to analyze the influencing factors and how they interact with each other. The Rational Peasant Theory and Prospect Theory were used in this paper to analyze the occurrence motivation of the green production behaviors of small- and medium-sized pig farmers. The Logit model and the ISM analysis method were used to test the influencing factors and their mechanisms. This was conducted using data from a study of 747 small- and medium-sized pig farmers in Henan Province. The results show that the green production behaviors of small- and medium-sized pig farmers are motivated by internal expected return, affected by the monitoring pressure from external stakeholders and limited by their own resource capacity; the influencing factors of different green production behaviors are different, and there are more influencing factors of scientific disease control, standardized management and waste recycling than of rational feeding. The following shows how the influencing factors on pig farmers’ green production behavior interact with one another: level of education → external pressure, farming conditions and operating characteristics → cognition of return → green production behavior (i.e., cognition of return is the direct factor; external pressure, farming conditions and operating characteristics are indirect factors; and level of education is the underlying factor). Some measures should be implemented to promote green production behaviors, such as the continuation of the support for green production, the strengthening of supervision and publicity, the increasing of investment in technology and equipment, and the improving of the green production literacy of farmers. In conclusion, this paper deepens the understanding of the mechanism of green production behaviors of small- and medium-sized pig farmers, and provides the theoretical basis and concrete measures for the government and for pig farmers.

“…Based on the idea of training needs, Lei et al examined the elements influencing people’s willingness to live sustainably. The findings revealed that education and training can increase people’s environmental knowledge and increase their willingness to live sustainably [ 19 ]. Environmental education can help people develop positive environmental attitudes by enabling them to gain scientific understanding about environmental protection, raising the significance they place on environmentally friendly behavior, and recognize the advantages of doing so.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of environmental education on students’ attitudes about the environment in Chinese higher education. The findings showed that students’ environmental attitudes can be greatly enhanced by college-level ecology and environmental education. One of the most major factors influencing students’ environmental attitudes in the context of college environmental education is subjective norms, and curriculum education also has a big impact on this. It is possible that Chinese college students today lack the self-efficacy necessary to safeguard the environment since perceived behavioral control has less of an impact on college students’ environmental attitudes than subjective norms and curricular education. This highlights the need of promoting environmental practices and improving college students’ self-perceive and capacity for environmental protection. The study also showed that factors including gender, location, educational level, and economic status of the family had no impact on college students’ environmental attitudes. The results of this study can be used to examine the factors influencing the environmental views of Chinese college students and to teach educators how to raise college students’ awareness of the environment through curricular modifications, classroom instruction, and perceived behavioral control.

“…on the other side, there are differences in the utilization degree among members using cooperatives’ sales services. Learning from the research of relevant scholars [ 45 , 46 ], this study uses utilization level to investigate the degree to which members use cooperatives’ sales service. Specifically, utilization level refers to the proportion of citrus output sold by members using cooperatives.…”

With the rapid increase of the number of agricultural cooperatives in China, the problem of fake cooperatives has become more and more serious. The core problem is that some members do not use cooperative services, and elite capture phenomenon appears in the organization. Since services are one of the most important public goods attributes of cooperatives, it is important to ensure that more members use them. What are the factors that affect members’ utilization level of cooperative services? Existing research does not provide a comprehensive answer. Based on the micro-survey data of 74 citrus cooperatives and 524 citrus members in China, the article found out that 50.9% of the members did not use any services provided by cooperatives, and only 20.04% of the members used cooperatives’ sales services. So, this study empirically analyzes the factors that influence the use of cooperatives’ services by puns model. The results show that quality of service, service convenience and mountain terrain promote the use of cooperative sales services for members. In addition, cooperative knowledge, planting area, surplus distribution, quality of service, and service convenience significantly increased the utilization leve of cooperative sales services by members. Finally, the study puts forward some suggestions, such as propagating cooperative sales service, improving the quality of cooperative sales service, perfecting cooperative distribution system.
