老龄化、种植目的与稻农化学农药减量

Aging,planting purpose and rice farmers'chemical pesticide reduction

化学农药减量是促进农业绿色发展和保障农产品质量安全的重要途径。为此,基于湖北省和江西省613户水稻种植户的微观调研数据,实证检验老龄化、种植目的对农户化学农药减量行为的影响,并论证种植目的在老龄化对化学农药减量行为影响上的调节作用。研究发现:老龄化显著阻碍了农户的化学农药减量,但以自给为主要种植目的的稻农更倾向于减少化学农药施用。进一步发现,种植目的能有效缓解老龄化对农户化学农药减量行为的负面影响。据此提出对老龄农户进行教育培训、引导培育年轻化新型农民群体、完善农产品市场监督体系、强化农民食品安全理念的对策建议。

The reduction of chemical pesticides is an important way to promote the green development of agriculture and to guarantee the quality and safety of agricultural products.In this study,the effects of aging and planting purpose on farmers'chemical pesticide reduction behaviors were examined,and the moderating effect of planting purpose was tested,by using field survey data from 613 rice farmers in Hubei Province and Jiangxi Province,China.It was shown that aging significantly hindered farmers'chemical pesticide reduction,and farmers pursing food self-sufficiency were more inclined to reduce chemical pesticide application.Further analysis revealed that planting purpose effectively alleviated the negative impact of aging on farmers'chemical pesticide reduction behavior.Therefore,it was recommended to educate and train elderly farmers to reduce the negative impact of aging,and pay attention to guiding and nurturing young farmers to engage in agriculture.Meanwhile,it was necessary to improve the supervision system of agricultural product market and strengthen farmers'food safety concept.
