| China is a big agricultural country,and agriculture is the foundation of the country.In recent years,in pursuit of higher yields,farmers have excessively used pesticides,based on crude agricultural planting and production.As a result,the problem of recycling pesticide packaging waste has become increasingly serious.Compared with ordinary agricultural waste,pesticide packaging waste is more harmful.If the residual liquid on the inner wall of the packaging penetrates the soil,it will cause pollution of soil resources,water resources,etc.,thereby endangering human health and the safe production of livestock.Therefore,the recovery of pesticide packaging waste and other related work is urgent.It is a social project that benefits the country and the people,and is of great significance to the improvement of the agricultural and rural ecological environment.Facing the current problems of agricultural ecological environment destruction and non-point source pollution,the state has promulgated the "Pesticide Management Regulations","Soil Pollution Prevention and Control Law" and other related laws and regulations,encouraging local areas to carry out various forms of recycling and disposal pilot exploration,and comprehensive management of agricultural non-point sources Pollution and maintenance of the rural ecological environment.Although some areas of Jiangsu Province have issued relevant reward and punishment policies for the recycling of pesticide packaging waste,the recycling situation is not ideal.As an important subject of China’s agricultural production and management,farmers are an important bridge linking agricultural management,development and agricultural ecological protection.Based on the field survey data in Jiangsu Province,this article analyzes the factors influencing their pesticide packaging waste recycling behavior from the perspective of farmers’ behavior,and empirically analyzes the inhibitory effect of social trust and rewards and punishment policies on farmers’ pesticide packaging waste recycling willingness and behavior.Put forward strategies to promote the recycling of pesticide packaging waste by farmers,in order to provide a certain reference for the management of pesticide packaging waste in China.The research content has the following two aspects:(1)The impact of rewards and punishments on farmers’ pesticide packaging waste recycling behavior.Based on a sample of 551 rice growers in Jiangsu Province,the individual characteristics of the farmers,the economic situation of family production,the awareness of pesticide packaging waste,the situational conditions,the reward and punishment policy,and the social trust are judged by descriptive statistical methods.Analyze the impact of rewards and punishments on farmers’ pesticide packaging waste recycling behaviors through propensity matching score(PSM).(2)Factors that restrain farmers’ willingness to recycle pesticide packaging waste and deviations in their recycling behavior.Through the analysis of questionnaire items,in order to avoid the problem of multicollinearity,the factor analysis method is used to reduce the dimension of the social trust variable,and the disordered multi-category Logistics regression model is used to analyze the influencing factors of the deviation of farmers’ recycling willingness and recycling behavior.And further verify the hypothesis that social trust,reward and punishment policies have restraint on farmers’ willingness to recycle and behavioral deviation,and the hypothesis that social trust has a moderating effect on reward and punishment policies.The survey and research results show that:(1)Combined with the actual situation and the basic data requirements of empirical analysis,the factors affecting the recycling behavior of pesticide packaging waste of farmers are analyzed.Through the empirical test of the propensity matching score model(PSM),it is found that the implementation of reward and punishment policy can increase the probability of farmers’ recycling behavior.(2)Although farmers have a high willingness to recycle,they lack autonomous recycle behavior,and there is a big deviation between the two.Although pesticide packages have been implemented in some areas.The waste recycling policy is installed,but the probability of farmers’ recycling behavior is still low.Social trust can increase the probability of farmers’ recycling behavior from within the farmers,and reduce the deviation.(3)Interpersonal trust,institutional trust,and rewards and punishment policies have a certain inhibitory effect on the deviation of farmers’ willingness to recycle and behavior.For each increase in the degree of interpersonal trust among farmers,the probability of farmers’ willingness to recycle and the positive agreement of behavior increases by 7.84%,and the probability of deviation and negative agreement decreases by 6.32% and 1.53%,respectively.From the perspective of institutional trust,for every unit increase in institutional trust,the probability of positive agreement increases by 8.22%,and the probability of deviation and negative agreement decreases by 9.58% and 1.36%,respectively.Compared with those in areas where there are no rewards and punishments,the probability of farmers in areas with positive agreement to reclaim their willingness and behavior increases by 18.5%,while the probability of deviation and negative agreement decreases by 18.8% and 2.88%,respectively.(4)Combining the results of empirical research,propose suggestions to promote farmers’ willingness to recycle into recycling behavior from three aspects: farmers’ self-cognition,rural self-construction,and government’s strengthening of supervision and incentives.In green production,reward and punishment policies are the primary factor that affects farmers’ pro-environmental behaviors,but the guidance and restraint of social trust are also necessary,and the impact of informal systems such as social trust should also be emphasized while the policy is mandatory. |
