Construction and Operation of Close-Knit Agricultural Industry Benefit Linkage Mechanisms in Poverty Alleviation Areas:An Analysis Based on Actor-Network Theory
Promoting the formation of close-knit benefit linkages between impoverished farmers and new agricultural business entities such as cooperatives and agricultural enterprises is an important exploration for achieving effective integration between impoverished farmers and modern agriculture,thereby promoting rural industrial revitalization.Taking Village Y in the poverty alleviation area of southeastern Chongqing as an example,an analysis based on actor-network theory reveals that an alliance of actors,with cooperatives as the core actors,forms three fundamental mechanisms during the translation process:the extension of the industrial chain,institutional embedding,and targeted measures.These mechanisms enable the heterogeneous actors in the benefit linkage network to achieve mutual benefit and win-win outcomes.Therefore,the construction and operation of close-knit agricultural industry benefit linkage mechanisms in poverty alleviation areas should focus on leveraging the resource advantages of heterogeneous actors,stimulating the intrinsic motivation of each entity to participate in the linkage,and building a stable and close-knit actor network to ensure the smooth operation of the close-knit agricultural industry benefit linkage mechanisms.
