Research on the Impact of Water-saving Technology on the Efficiency of Grain Production for Farmers
As an effective way to improve the planting efficiency of farmers in the production irrigation process,water-saving technology is crucial for ensuring water and food security in China.This article is based on a survey questionnaire of grain planting farmers in the five major grain producing areas of Hebei,Henan,Shandong,Anhui,and Hubei.The SFA-Tobit model is used to study the impact of water-saving technology on grain production efficiency,and the mechanism of action is analyzed.The results indicate that:①there are still technical inefficiencies caused by insufficient mechanical input-output in the grain production process.Overall,the adoption of water-saving technology can significantly improve the efficiency of grain production for farmers;②The adoption of water-saving technology is conducive to further improving agricultural production efficiency by promoting large-scale farming and saving irrigation time;③Water conservation subsidies and land transfer have a positive incentive effect on the improvement of grain production efficiency in the process of adopting water-saving technologies by farmers;④The improvement effect of water-saving technology on grain production efficiency is limited by age and income thresholds.For high agricultural income and older farmers,the improvement effect is significant.Therefore,the government should fully play its main role in the adoption of water-saving technologies by farmers,accurately carry out agricultural water-saving subsidies,solidly promote the construction of basic irrigation facilities for agricultural water conservancy,and establish a monitoring and evaluation mechanism for technology adoption.
