Effect of interaction between green production behavior of migrant farmers and local farmers
Based on data from 524 scale farmers in Tengchong City,Yunnan Province,China(including 224 migrant farmers and 300 local farmers),this study employs a binary choice model to explore the differences and effects of interaction between the green production adoption of migrant and local farmers.The research reveals:1)Migrant farmers exhibit a higher level of adopting technology-intensive and cost-saving green production behaviors,while local farmers show a higher level of adopting traditional inertia and resource-dependent green production behaviors.2)Local farmers who interact with migrant farmers can significantly improve their level of adopting technology-intensive and cost-saving green production behaviors.3)Migrant farmers who interact with local farmers does not significantly improve the level of adopting traditional inertia and resource-dependent green production behaviors.In the context of expanding the scale of cross-regional land transfer,policy-makers should recognize the differences and complementarities in green production behaviors between migrant and local farmers,develop targeted and diversified strategies to promote mutual learning and improve the level of green agricultural production.
