可行能力、风险感知与农户化肥减量技术采纳行为

Capability approach, risk perception, and farmers’ fertilizer-reduction technology adoption behavior

  • 摘要: 引导农户采纳化肥减量技术对推动我国化肥减量增效工作和实现农业绿色可持续发展具有重要意义。在此背景下, 研究基于湖北省986份微观调查数据, 尝试从可行能力视角提出缓解农户风险感知负面影响的新路径, 并利用有序Logit模型和中介效应模型实证分析可行能力和风险感知对农户化肥减量技术采纳行为的影响。结果发现: 1)样本中采纳化肥减量技术的农户占比为42.80%, 化肥减量技术采纳水平较低。农户采纳1种、2种、3种和4种化肥减量技术的比例依次为29.72%、9.13%、2.74%和1.22%。2)可行能力对农户化肥减量技术采纳行为具有显著的正向影响, 而市场风险感知和技术风险感知越强的农户, 采用化肥减量技术的可能性越小。3)风险感知在可行能力和农户化肥减量技术采纳之间起到部分中介作用, 可行能力可以通过削弱农户化肥减量技术采纳的风险感知提高其对化肥减量技术的采纳概率。4)相较于规模户和老龄农户, 可行能力更能促进小农户和年轻农户化肥减量技术采纳行为。对此, 应向内通过提高农户收入水平、信息获取能力和促进其参与农业技术培训等方式增强农户的可行能力, 向外完善现有绿色农产品市场体系、帮助农户克服技术门槛要求等缓解其风险感知, 提高农户化肥减量技术采纳概率。

     

    Abstract: Guiding farmers in adopting fertilizer reduction technologies is of great significance in promoting China’s fertilizer reduction and efficiency, and realizing the green and sustainable development of agriculture. Based on 986 micro-survey data in Hubei Province, this study proposed a new path to mitigate the negative impact of farmers’ risk perception from the perspective of the capability approach, and empirically analyzed the effects of the capability approach and risk perception on the adoption of fertilizer reduction technologies by farmers by using the ordered Logit model and mediation effect model. The proportion of farmers adopting fertilizer reduction technologies in the samples was 42.80%, and the adoption level of fertilizer reduction technologies was low. Among them, the percentages of the farmers adopted one, two, three, and four fertilizer reduction technologies were 29.72%, 9.13%, 2.74% and 1.22%, respectively. The capability approach has a significant positive effect on farmers’ adoption behavior of fertilizer reduction technologies: the stronger the market risk perception and technology risk perception, the lower the possibility of adopting fertilizer reduction technologies. Risk perception played a partial mediating role between the capability approach and the adoption of fertilizer reduction technologies. The capability approach helped weaken risk perception and promoted the adoption of fertilizer reduction technologies. The capability approach promoted the adoption of fertilizer reduction technologies of smallholder and young farmers more than among large-scale and old farmers. In this regard, it is important to enhance the capability approach of farmers inwardly by improving their income levels, information accessibility, and participation in agricultural technology training, and outwardly by improving the existing market system for green agricultural products and helping farmers overcome the technical thresholds required to alleviate their risk perception and increase the probability of adopting chemical fertilizer reduction technologies.
