Deviation between the willingness and behavior of farmers to adopt water saving irrigation technologies:A survey in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region
In response to the deviation between the willingness and behavior of farmers to adopt water-saving irrigation technologies,based on their economic rationality and collective behavior attributes,a theoretical framework for analyzing the deviation between the willingness and behavior of farmers to adopt water-saving technologies was constructed.By using survey data from 835 households in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region,the factors influencing the deviation between the willingness and behavior of farmers to adopt water-saving technologies were empirically tested.The research indicated that:1)There is a significant deviation between the willingness and behavior of farmers to adopt agricultural water-saving technologies in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.2)Economic factors such as monthly household income,proportion of agricultural income,agricultural water-saving investment,and satisfaction with water-saving investment significantly and negatively impact the deviation between the willingness and behavior of farmers to adopt water-saving technologies,as well as incentive policy environments such as participating in water-saving training and receiving water-saving publicity.The water-saving attitude of farmers significantly positively impact the deviation between their willingness and behavior to adopt water-saving technologies.3)There are significant regional differences in the deviation between the willingness and behavior of farmers to adopt water-saving technologies in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region phenomenon and the influencing factors.Based on the research results,suggestions are proposed to promote the transformation of farmers'willingness to adopt agricultural water-saving technology into the behavior,including improving the mechanism of agricultural water-saving investment,strengthening policy guidance,reducing the difficulty of operating water-saving irrigation techniques,and formulating differentiated agricultural water-saving technology promotion plans.
