Research on Eco-compensation Preference for Recycling of Beef Cattle Breeding Waste:An Empirical Analysis from the perspective of Farmers
The recycling of beef cattle breeding waste is of great significance for the promotion work in prevention and control of agricultural non-point source pollution.Based on discrete choice experiment,using survey data from 1045 non-scale beef cattle breeding farmers in the four main production areas,this paper anaylses farmers'preferences for various attributes of beef cattle waste recycling plans and quantify their willingness to be compensated by constructing a mixed-logit model.The results indicate that the non-scale beef cattle breeding farmers'cognition of en-vironmental pollution caused by breeding waste is different from pigs and poultry breeding farmers'.Farmers in the four main production areas have a significant willingness to participate in the standardized utilization of compost and land resources.Farmers in the northeast and northwest production areas have a significant preference for the use of bedding materials,whereas,farmers in the central and southwest production areas have a significant preference for household biogas,eco-nomic animal and plant production.Meanwhile,technology and training have a significant incentive effect on farmers'participation in waste resource utilization.Under the conditions of"better"improvement of environment and"comprehensive technical support",the average will-ingness to accept compensation of standardized compost return,pad material conversion,household biogas,and economic animal and plant production is 1004.2 yuan/household,861.9 yuan/household,1042.2 yuan/household,and 1133.3 yuan/household,respectively.Fi-nally,policy recommendations are proposed,such as formulating phased and differentiated com-pensation policies,strengthening diversified construction of ecological compensation participants and compensation methods,and promoting coordinated development of environmental,economic,and social benefits through recycling.
