粮产区农户异质性视角下低碳生产行为决策机理

The Decision-making Mechanism of Low-carbon Production Behavior from the Perspective of Farmers’ Heterogeneity in Grain Producing Areas

农户是低碳农业发展最广泛的参与主体和最重要的微观基础,充分发挥其主体作用有助于加快农业低碳化转型进程。本文基于湖北省1114户稻农的问卷调查数据,运用多群组结构方程模型分析方法,深入探究稻农异质性对其低碳生产行为决策的调节效应。结果表明:男性、中青年、受教育程度较高、务农年限较短、有兼业或具有多重身份组的稻农在低碳认知、环保意识、价值感知、自我效能、低碳生产意愿和低碳生产行为中的一个或多个维度上的表现均显著优于其对应组,并且不同类型稻农低碳生产行为决策机理也存在显著差异。

Farmers are the most extensive participants in the development of low-carbon agriculture and the most important micro basis.Giving full play to farmers will help accelerate the progress of low-carbon agriculture.Based on the data of a questionnaire survey of 1114 rice farmers in Hubei Province,this study adopted the multi-group structural equation model analysis method to explore the moderating effect of rice farmers’heterogeneity on their low-carbon production behavior decisions.The results show that young and middle-aged males with a higher education level,multiple occupations,a short duration in farming life or multiple identities are superior to other groups in one or more dimensions in terms of low carbon awareness,environmental awareness,value perception,self-efficacy,low carbon production intention and low carbon production behavior.Moreover,there are significant differences in the decision-making mechanism of low-carbon production behavior among different types of rice farmers.
