Abstract

Based on 500 samples data of rural farmer households by questionnaire survey and interview, the study empirically analyzes farming behavior mechanism for agriculture related pollution prevention and control, using logistic model of farmer production and living conditions. The study indicates that farmers’ education time, policy awareness, technological training experiences, agricultural land use, planting structure, risk attitudes and other social and economic factors are importantly affecting farmers’ behaviors. All these involve decreasing agricultural chemical inputs and adopting environment-friendly technologies. It could be helpful to policy-making of appropriate agriculture related environmental economic policies.
