摘要
陕西省是全国苹果供应的主要产区之一,其种植户的可持续生计与国内苹果产业发展息息相关。生计资本是农户应对日常生产与生活风险的重要资源。笔者借鉴英国国际发展部提出的可持续性生计框架,采用描述性统计分析方法,对陕西省洛川县、白水县、礼泉县、延安市210份实地调查数据进行分析。研究结果表明,陕西省苹果种植户的社会资本、人力资本、物质资本、自然资本、金融资本水平均不足。其中,可获取社会资源有限,劳动力匮乏,居住环境差,自然灾害严重,金融服务不完善等问题突出。建议从加强社会资本网络建设,改善种植户生存环境,提升土地资源利用率,完善金融服务等方面进一步优化陕西省苹果种植户的生计资本水平,以增强其防范与抵抗风险的能力,从而促进区域苹果产业的可持续发展。
