The Influence of Water-Saving Technologies Adoption and the Value Perception on Farmers'Income
The adoption of agricultural technology not only bears relevance to farmers'grain pro-duction capacity but also holds the potential to impact their cost-benefit outcomes and overall household income.From a micro perspective this study conducts an analysis of farmers who have embraced modern agricultural water-saving techniques while perceiving the value of such technology.The empirical investi-gation employs an endogenous transformation model to explore the impact and mechanism of technology adoption and value perception on farmers'income.The primary findings are as follows.Firstly,there is a significant positive correlation between farmers'labor input and their level of technological awareness concerning the adoption and perception of water-saving techniques.Secondly,among those who perceive the value of water-saving technology adoption,variations exist in the influence of farmers'personal char-acteristics on household agricultural and non-agricultural income.Thirdly,farmers'positive perception of technology adoption and labor value contributes to the growth of both household agricultural and non-agricultural income.Therefore,the authors propose several policy implications.At first,it is necessary to include agricultural support policies so as to further promote water-saving technologies and improve sub-sequent technical support services.Then,efforts should be made to bolster the accumulation of human capital among rural labor forces.Moreover,policy measures should be formulated focusing on differenti-ated water-saving technology promotion.
