An Empirical Analysis Of Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Policy On Livestock Farming In Lake Tai Watershed

Since Reform and opening-up, China's livestock and poultry breeding industry gets a rapid development, and has become the agricultural and rural economic development's pillar industry. However, because the time of intensive livestock farming development is short, the breeding pollution is quite amazing. The first national census on pollution sources published in February 2010 shows that agricultural nonpoint source pollution (ANPS) has become the main source of water pollution, and livestock pollution has become one of the main sources of ANPS. The central government has attached greater importance to the problem, carrying out large-scale livestock and poultry pollution reduction into China's Twelfth Five-Year Development Plan.Lake Tai watershed is one of the most populous and dynamic regions in economy, however, studies indicate that the damage of ANPS caused by livestock farming and so on has already exceeded point source pollution caused by industrial and urban life. Eutrophication in Lake Tai watershed becomes more and more serious, causing greater influence to China's economic and social life. Based on Lake Tai watershed, this study analyzes empirically the problem of current poultry waste pollution controlling policy and gets the corresponding policy implications.First of all, combining the statistical data, literature and regional situation, this study introduces the situation of Lake Tai watershed livestock farming ANPS pollution.Secondly, this study analyzes policy background, and summarizes the foreign policy implications to China. The above two parts lay a theoretical foundation for the following positive analysis.Thirdly, based on the empirical analysis of technology producers, selecting south lake area in Zhejiang province for its distinctive livestock and poultry production as a typical research area, adopting case interviews way to research deeply and get policy implications:the government should make more economic incentive policies, correcting production behavior, encouraging and supporting environmental-friendly production enterprises.Fourthly, based on the empirical analysis of farmers, relying on the Lake Tai watershed farmers questionnaire, this study uses statistical analysis method for farmers and producers research, putting forward that the government should take economic incentive policy such as funds subsidies or technical support to guide farmers voluntarily accept dung pollution control technology and response relevant policies, without prejudice to the interests of farmers premise.
