Has the Construction of Well-facilitated Farmland Increased the Enthusiasm of Farmers to Grow Crops?An Investigation Based on the Planting Behavior of Double Cropping Rice among Farmers
The construction of well-facilitated farmland is an important measure to enhance the comprehensive production capacity of grain and strengthen national food security.Based on 1556 micro farmer survey data in Jiangxi Province,the planting behavior of double cropping rice was used to measure the enthusiasm of farmers for grain cultivation.The impact of well-facilitated farmland construction on the enthusiasm of farmers in traditional double cropping rice main production areas and its mechanism were empirically analyzed.Research has found that(1)the construction of well-facilitated farmland has significantly increased the enthusiasm of farmers for grain cultivation,promoted the cultivation of double cropping rice by farmers in traditional double cropping rice main production areas,and expanded the scale of double cropping rice cultivation.This conclusion still holds after conducting robustness tests.(2)Mechanism analysis shows that promoting the development of agricultural socialized services,reducing agricultural production costs,and inducing the transfer of farmland are three important paths to improve the enthusiasm of farmers for grain cultivation in the construction of well-facilitated farmland.(3)Heterogeneity analysis finds that the construction of well-facilitated farmland has a more significant promoting effect on the double cropping rice planting behavior of farmers in agricultural land adjustment,low fragmentation,and non-plain areas.To further strengthen food security and better leverage the grain incentive effect of well-facilitated farmland construction,we should continue to vigorously promote the construction of well-facilitated farmland,optimize the construction mode of well-facilitated farmland,and focus on reducing the degree of fragmentation of well-facilitated farmland.
