摘要:

发展低碳农业是我国农业现代化的本质要求和必由之路，低碳种植是低碳农业的重要组成部分。我国低碳农业的发展并不尽如人意，其原因之一在于大多数农户在种植过程中仍然采用常规的农业种植方式。为研究农户低碳化种植的决策行为，该文以效用最大化理论为基础，建立了农户选择低碳化种植行为的效用函数模型，从理论上证明农户采取低碳化种植行为是一种有限理性行为，农户在选择种植方式时遵循了效用最大化原则，并结合前人研究推导了农业种植收入、农业种植行为以及种植预期对农户选择低碳化种植决策的影响趋势。根据对河北邯郸、保定和张家口3市360家农户的调查数据，运用Logit模型对调查数据进行计量分析。研究结果表明，对农户低碳化种植行为选择影响显著的因素有种植业收入比重、预期收益、现行种植行为、农户受教育水平、农业劳动力人数、政府政策以及同伴的种植行为。在此研究结论基础上，该文提出了促进低碳农业发展的相关建议。

Abstract:

The development of low carbon agriculture is the essential requirement to realize agricultural modernization in China. Low carbon planting is an important part of the low carbon agriculture. The development of low carbon agriculture in China is not high, one of the reasons is that the majority of farmers still use the conventional way in the process of farming. In order to research the farmers' decision-making behaviors of low carbonization planting, this paper established the utility function model of low carbonization behavior of farmers planting based on the theory of utility maximization. The results theoretically proved that adopting low carbon planting practices by farmers was a kind of finite rational behavior. The selection of planting modes was based on the principle of utility maximization. And then this paper discussed the factors influencing farmers' choice of low carbon planting which included the agricultural income, agricultural planting practices and farmers' expecting of low carbon planting. Finally, based on the investigation data from 360 rural households in Handan, Baoding and Zhang Jiakou city, Hebei province, and Logit model for quantitative analysis, it pointed out that the important factors affecting farmers' behavior of low carbon planting, i.e., the share of planting income in total income, the expected income of low carbon planting, the current planting practices, education level of farmers, the number of family agricultural labor, the government policy as well as the companion planting behavior. Based on the conclusion, this paper put forward the related suggestions to promote the development of low carbon agriculture.
