Abstract

Straw returning is important for rural ecological management and sustainable agricultural development. Using farm survey data for Anhui Province, China, in 2020, we applied the double‐hurdle model to investigate the impact of agricultural machinery services and land fragmentation on farmers' straw‐returning behavior, and to explore the relationship between agricultural machinery self‐service and outsourced service. Self‐service had a significant positive effect on farmers' straw‐returning behavior, while outsourced service had a significant positive effect only on degree of adoption. Land fragmentation had a significant negative effect on farmers' straw‐returning behavior, and significantly inhibited the effect of self‐service on adoption decision. Complementarity existed between self‐service and outsourced service in farmers' straw‐returning adoption decision, and the effect was more pronounced among smaller‐scale farmers. There was significant substitutability between self‐service and outsourced service in degree of adoption among larger‐scale farmers. Transfer and integration of rural land, increasing agricultural machinery purchase subsidy, upgrading farmers' self‐service capability, and promoting development of socialized agricultural machinery services should be implemented to promote crop straw returning.

农机服务和土地分割对农民秸秆还田行为的影响

秸秆还田对农村生态治理和农业可持续发展具有重要意义。利用中国安徽省 2020 年的农户调查数据，运用双兔模型研究了农机服务和土地细碎化对农户秸秆还田行为的影响，并探讨了农机自助服务和外包服务之间的关系。自助服务对农民的秸秆还田行为有显著的正向影响，而外包服务仅对采用程度有显著的正向影响。土地破碎化对农民的秸秆还田行为有显著的负向影响，并显著抑制了自助服务对采用决策的影响。在农户秸秆还田决策中，自助服务与外包服务之间存在互补性，且在规模较小的农户中效果更为明显。在规模较大的农户中，自助服务与外包服务在采用程度上存在明显的替代性。应通过农村土地流转与整合、增加农机购置补贴、提升农民自我服务能力、促进农机社会化服务发展等措施促进农作物秸秆还田。EconLit 引用：Q01, Q16.

期刊介绍： Agribusiness: An International Journal publishes research that improves our understanding of how food systems work, how they are evolving, and how public and/or private actions affect the performance of the global agro-industrial complex. The journal focuses on the application of economic analysis to the organization and performance of firms and markets in industrial food systems. Subject matter areas include supply and demand analysis, industrial organization analysis, price and trade analysis, marketing, finance, and public policy analysis. International, cross-country comparative, and within-country studies are welcome. To facilitate research the journal’s Forum section, on an intermittent basis, offers commentary and reports on business policy issues.
