Research On Low Carbon Production Behavior Of Rice Farm Based On Family Endowment View

With the continuous intensification of the global greenhouse effect,the development of low-carbon economy has become the focus of the world’s attention.As the foundation of national economy,agricultural development has always been the focus of our country.In the low carbon economic environment,the demand for greenhouse gas emission reduction is increasingly strong,and vigorously promoting the development of low carbon agriculture has become an important choice for future agricultural development.The traditional agricultural production mode with high energy consumption,high emission and high pollution has seriously affected our living environment and even hindered the sustainable development of agriculture.It is urgent to change the mode of agricultural production and promote low-carbon agricultural production.The 19 th national congress of the communist party of China also proposed that China’s agricultural production needs to constantly transform development ideas,promote the concept of low-carbon development,and gradually transform to low-carbon agriculture.Although currently has a large number of scholars,taking the research of low carbon agriculture,and has obtained the certain research results,but the existing research still has certain limitation,namely the low carbon agricultural research mainly focus on the macro level,the less involved the study of peasant household micro perspective,generally only considered the head of the household the impact of individual behavior of low carbon production,while ignoring the family endowment is an important aspect.Rice is China’s first major grain crops,the characteristics of the water tillage methods and prone to diseases and pests disaster led to its will produce more greenhouse gases in the farming,research of low carbon rice production is of great significance to promote the development of low-carbon agriculture in China,rice farmers as the main body,the mode of production behavior should cause our attention.In view of this,this paper,based on the micro-data of field survey in Jingzhou city,Hubei province,takes rice growers(" rice farmers " for short)as the research object to explore the influence of family endowment on their low-carbon production behavior.To be specific,this paper firstly systematizes relevant domestic and foreign literatures and discusses the possible innovation points of the paper.Secondly,this paper defines the core concepts involved in this paper,and reviews the relevant literature in theory,focusing on the low-carbon economy theory and the theory of farmers’ behavior.Then,based on the field survey data,the characteristics of rice farmers’ family endowment were analyzed.Two behaviors of rice farmers during and after rice production were selected,that is,rational use of pesticides and utilization of straw resources as specific manifestations of low-carbon production behaviors of rice farmers.The current situation of low-carbon production behaviors of rice farmers in the surveyed areas was summarized.Next,the reasonable use of pesticides and straw recycling use two kinds of low carbon production behavior as the dependent variable,select the number of family in factors of family endowment,family as the independent variables,such as population burden coefficient,household deposits build binary Logistics model empirically family endowment the influence of the behavior of rice farmers low carbon production,thus obtaining the key factor affecting the behavior of rice farmers low carbon production.Finally,based on the research conclusions,the paper puts forward some Suggestions to promote the development of low-carbon agriculture.The empirical results show that family endowment has different degrees of influence on farmers’ low-carbon production behavior,which is mainly reflected in family human capital,family economic capital and family social capital,while family natural capital has no significant correlation.The specific conclusions are as follows:(1)Family human capital has a greater impact on its low-carbon production behavior,mainly in the family labor force size and population burden coefficient of two aspects;(2)Family economic capital and family social capital have a significant positive impact on rice farmers’ low-carbon production behavior choice,which is mainly reflected in the two aspects of household savings and part-time income.(3)Family natural capital has no significant influence on rice farmers’ low-carbon production behavior.
