摘要
保护性农业(CA)被各种组织和学者作为传统农业的替代品加以推广,以满足日益增长的粮食需求,同时尽量减少对环境的破坏;但其采用因素尚未得到很好的确定。本研究采用 Takam Fongang 等人(2023 年)最近开发的采用保护性农业的综合指数,分析了魁北克玉米和大豆种植者采用保护性农业的因素。该研究使用了 93 位玉米和大豆生产者的数据和分式对数模型,结果表明,采用保护性耕作会随着农民对产量和实施保护性耕作难易程度的有利看法、农场外就业和高等教育程度的提高而增加。因此,该研究表明,高等教育、技术援助和普及 CA 的性能可在促进魁北克采用 CA 方面发挥重要作用。
What Determines the Adoption of Conservation Agriculture? Evidence from Quebec
Conservation agriculture (CA) is promoted by various organisations and scholars as alternative to conventional agriculture to meet growing food demand with minimal damage on environment; but its factors of adoption have not been well identified. The study uses the recent composite index of adoption of CA developed by Takam Fongang et al. (2023) to analyse the factors of adoption of conservation agriculture among maize and soybean farmers in Quebec. Using data from 93 maize and soybean producers and a Fractional logit model, the study shows that adoption of CA increases with farmer’s favourable perceptions of yield and easiness of implementing CA, off-farm employment and higher education. The study therefore indicates that higher education, technical assistance and popularisation of performance of CA can play a significant role in boosting adoption of CA in Quebec.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Management offers research and opinions on use and conservation of natural resources, protection of habitats and control of hazards, spanning the field of environmental management without regard to traditional disciplinary boundaries. The journal aims to improve communication, making ideas and results from any field available to practitioners from other backgrounds. Contributions are drawn from biology, botany, chemistry, climatology, ecology, ecological economics, environmental engineering, fisheries, environmental law, forest sciences, geosciences, information science, public affairs, public health, toxicology, zoology and more.
As the principal user of nature, humanity is responsible for ensuring that its environmental impacts are benign rather than catastrophic. Environmental Management presents the work of academic researchers and professionals outside universities, including those in business, government, research establishments, and public interest groups, presenting a wide spectrum of viewpoints and approaches.
