AGRICULTURAL ECOLOGICAL COMPENSATION:CONNOTATION,ELEMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS AND POLICY DESIGN
Agro-ecological compensation is one of the most important policy tools to promote the realization of agro-ecological values. Existing studies lack systematic analysis on the scope,application conditions,and reasonable policy design of agroecological compensation. Based on literature review,theoretical analysis,and international experience,this study systematically analyzed the concept and connotation of agroecological compensation,and summarized the core elements and applicable conditions of agroecological compensation. Building upon the characteristics of agricultural externalities,it proposed a policy framework for agricultural ecological compensation,analyzed the existing problems and limitations,and put forward key measures for improving agricultural ecological compensation policies based on this analysis. Then it proposed to establish a five-in-one ecological compensation mechanism:'cities compensating rural areas,industries compensating agriculture,government compensating farmers,consumption regions compensating production regions,and the central government compensating production regions'. Furthermore,it presented a policy framework for agricultural ecological compensation based on the externality attributes and spillover effects of agriculture. Finally,this study puts forward policy recommendations such as benchmarking against WTO subsidy rules,promoting the greening and ecologization of agricultural financial funds,strengthening the scientific nature of compensation standards design,and promoting the marketization and diversification of agricultural ecological compensation.
