Spatial dependence of family farms’ adoption behavior of green control techniques in China

Factors affecting the adoption of green prevention and control techniques by family farms: Evidence from Henan province of China

“…In addition, by breaking through the barrier of information blockage through multiple channels of positive information, farmers not only help break the technical barrier of high cost and difficulty in mastering but also help reduce their risk perception of adopting new technology behavior ( Zhou et al, 2022 ), improve their perception of economic benefits, and promote positive behavioral motivation, which in turn drives farmers’ enthusiasm to adopt ecological farming behavior ( Mao et al, 2021 ; Wang et al, 2021b ). Moreover, farmers with higher perceptions of economic benefits and risk preferences are more motivated to engage in agricultural production, are happy to participate in new technology training activities and are more inclined to try new technologies with high returns and risks ( Wang et al, 2015 ; Yu et al, 2020b , 2021b ; Hu et al, 2022 ). Based on this, the following hypotheses are proposed.…”

The Green Development in Saline–Alkali Lands: The Evolutionary Game Framework of Small Farmers, Family Farms, and Seed Industry Enterprises

“…Compared to smallholders, family farms, as modern agricultural entities, usually possess greater resource integration capabilities and market adaptability. Through large-scale, intensive management, they effectively integrate land, capital, and technological resources, driving the modernization of agricultural production models [45][46][47][48]. Due to these factors, family farms can respond more rapidly to policy and market changes, adopt salt-tolerant crop cultivation technologies, and improve agricultural output by leveraging economies of scale.…”
