Behavior of Smallholder to Improve Individual Breeding Environment and Tobacco Growing Environment-A Case Study of 184 Waterfowl Farmers and Tobacco Farmers in Jiangxi Province

Abstract

Under the background of the structural reform on the agricultural supply side and the tightening of environmental protection policies, China's agricultural industry is facing prominent problems such as low scale, poor mechanization level and serious ecological environment pollution, especially the scattered breeding behavior of small farmers in waterfowl breeding industry and in tobacco growing industry, which has a serious impact on the surrounding ecological environment. In this paper, based on the survey data of 184 waterfowl farmers and tobacco farmers in Jiangxi province and from the perspective of small farmers of waterfowl breeding and tobacco growing, the factors influencing small farmers' behavior of improving their individual breeding environment and carrying out green ecological behavior are analyzed by using binary logistic regression model. It is concluded that the gender and age of farmers have a negative impact, while farmers' education level, farmers' concurrent employment, breeding technology training and government support have a significant positive impact on small farmers' behavior of improving their individual breeding and planting environment. Finally, some suggestions are put forward, such as optimizing the production layout of waterfowl industry, improve green tobacco cultivation, constructing green ecological development system of waterfowl industry, popularizing green ecological breeding mode and strengthening policy support and supervision, with a view to improve the present situation of poor breeding environment and serious pollution of small farmers in China, promote the development and transformation of waterfowl industry and tobacco industry in China, and promote the sustainable development of ecological environment and ecological economy of waterfowl industry and tobacco industry in China.
