Research On The Organic Connection Mechanism Between Small Farmers And Modern Agriculture In Gansu Province

Based on the fact that the contradiction between small farmers and large production,small scale and large markets is more prominent,the Central Rural Work Conference clearly stated that it is necessary to actively cultivate new types of agricultural management entities to promote the organic integration of small farmers and modern agriculture.Small farmers are the main business entities in Gansu Province with the highest proportion of agricultural development.The large and long-term development background of small farmers and the contradiction between more people and less land determine that it is of great practical significance to study how small farmers integrate into the development of modern agriculture.Based on this,first of all,this paper builds a mechanism framework for the organic connection between small farmers and modern agriculture as a solid theoretical basis for this study;second,according to the survey of 348 farmers in Gansu Province,small farmers are subdivided into self-sufficient and developmental,The part-time type and the exit type,and analyzed the situation and problems of the connection between small farmers and modern agriculture from the perspective of refined farmers.Furthermore,the development level of modern agriculture in Gansu Province is clarified,and the behavioral willingness and influencing factors of small farmers in Gansu Province to participate in modern agriculture are empirically analyzed based on the multi-group structural equation model(SEM).Finally,through the analysis of the typical connection cases of small farmers in the development of modern agriculture at home and abroad,and the establishment of a development mechanism to promote the long-term integration of small farmers in Gansu Province and modern agriculture,and put forward different paths for different types of farmers.The specific research conclusions are as follows:First,the modern agricultural development level of Gansu Province is only at the basic realization stage of Jinchang,and most of them are in the transition or development stage.The development level of the four major regions differs greatly,but the differences within the levels are small.At the same time,the production and management systems of cities and prefectures in Gansu Province are relatively high,but the level of quality and benefit development is relatively low.Second,small farmers in Gansu Province have made great achievements in terms of various connection standards.(1)In the production system of small farmers in Gansu Province,part-time operation has become a universal choice for farmers,and theproduction system of small farmers has reached the basic standard for modern agriculture;(2)In the industrial system for small farmers,the grain output per unit of arable land of small farmers has reached the basic realization of modern agriculture The level of value-added of agriculture,forestry,animal husbandry and fishery service industry is relatively low,and the realization degree of developed farmers is higher than that of part-time farmers;(3)In the management system of small farmers,the land transfer area and transfer rate are larger than those in the whole country.Gaps,and the land transfer of small farmers has not changed the status quo of their small scale of operations;(4)small farmers' income levels continue to increase.The average per capita net income of the four types of sample households is higher than the average per capita net income of rural areas in Gansu Province in 2018(8804 yuan),which has reached the level of basic modern agriculture;(5)Development small farmers and part-time small farmers are more willing to engage in modern agriculture for a long time;Farmers mainly connect to modern agriculture by participating in agricultural cooperatives.Among them,developmental small farmers(48%)and self-sufficient farmers(25%)have the highest participation in farmers' professional cooperatives.Third,there is a big difference in the willingness of small farmers to participate in the new agricultural management subject.The results show that:(1)Behavior attitude and family livelihood endowment have the greatest impact on the willingness of small farmers to participate in the new agricultural management subject.The number of labor force,education level,and household agricultural machinery assets have the most significant impact on family livelihood endowment;Risks have a greater impact on behavioral attitudes,and economic benefits and employment security have a role in promoting small farmers 'decision-making;(3)In the normative belief variables,the opinions of family members and relatives and friends are higher than the impact of village collectives and local governments on farmers' decisions;(4)Among the control belief variables,the effect of contracting conditions on farmer households' participation behavior is more obvious,and farmer households more consider the level of entry threshold of the cooperation subject.(5)Under the multi-group structural equation model(SEM),compared with developing farmers,self-sufficiency and exit farmers' modern agricultural participation decision-making is more affected by subjective norms,transaction costs and family endowments.Based on the above empirical analysis and the typical experience of organicconnection between small farmers and modern agriculture at home and abroad,this paper constructs a mechanism framework for organic connection between small farmers and modern agriculture in Gansu from three aspects: premise,motivation,and safeguard measures.Of small farmers have explored different paths for their organic connection with modern agriculture.It is believed that withdrawing small farmers should develop land contracts to promote more farmers who are willing to expand their scale to obtain land resources,so as to achieve the connection between the two.Part-time small farmers can expand their fees and reduce fees through the two-way form of land leasing,land trusteeship,and strengthening agricultural socialization services.Self-sufficient farmers are only suitable for establishing comprehensive agricultural services before,during and after the establishment of agricultural product service contracts.As a farmer with the greatest potential to realize the connection with modern agriculture,the developmental smallholder grows into a direct management entity of agricultural modernization through all-round support.Only by choosing the appropriate connection path according to the type difference of small farmers can the long-term stability of the connection between the two be guaranteed.
