| High-quality development is the main theme of China’s economy in the new era.As a strategic and basic industry,the realization of high-quality development of animal husbandry is of great significance for meeting people’s demand for high-quality and safe meat,eggs and milk,ensuring the continuous income increase of farmers and herdsmen,and achieving rural revitalization.Pork is the main source of meat for Chinese residents.The high-quality development of the pig industry is an inevitable choice to stabilize the production capacity of pigs,ensure the supply of high-quality and safe pork products,and promote the smooth operation of the national economy.The high-quality development of pig industry is an inevitable choice to stabilize pig production capacity,ensure the supply of high-quality and safe pork products,and promote the smooth operation of the national economy.In 2019 and 2020,the State Council issued the Opinions on Stabilizing Pig Production and Promoting Transformation and Upgrading and the Opinions on Promoting High-quality Development of Animal Husbandry,In 2019 and 2020,the State Council issued the Opinions on Stabilizing Pig Production for Transformation and Upgrading and Opinions on Promoting High-Quality Development of Animal Husbandry aiming to promote the continuous improvement of the quality,efficiency and competitiveness of animal husbandry,so as to achieve a new pattern of high-quality development with high output efficiency,product safety,resource conservation,environmental friendliness and effective regulation.Small and medium-sized pig farmers are the main body of pig breeding in China.Compared with large-scale pig farmers,their capital accumulation ability is weak and their ability to resist risks is poor.The realization of high-quality development needs more attention from the government and relevant departments.Compared with large-scale pig farmers,their capital accumulation ability is weak and their ability to resist risks is poor,so they need more attention from the government and relevant departments to achieve high quality development.Based on this,it is of great practical significance to explore the adaptive behavior and income increase effect of small and medium-sized pig farmers in the context of high-quality development of pig industry.This paper focuses on the adaptive behavior of small and medium-sized pig farmers to the high-quality development of animal husbandry and the impact of adaptive behavior on breeding income.Specifically,based on the connotation of high-quality development of pig industry,this paper firstly defines the high-quality development adaptation behavior of pig farmers from three aspects:“high efficiency breeding,quality safety and green development”;Secondly,this paper obtains the survey data of pig farmers through field survey,analyzes the high-quality development cognition and adaptive behavior of pig farmers,and constructs the theoretical analysis framework of pig farmers’ adaptive behavior selection mechanism and its income-increasing effect;Thirdly,based on the sustainable livelihood framework,build the indicator system of pig farmers’ high quality development adaptability from six aspects of human capital,natural capital,material capital,social capital,financial capital and psychological capital,and use the entropy weight method to measure and analyze the level of pig farmers’ adaptability;Thirdly,based on the sustainable livelihood framework,the adaptive capacity index system of pig farmers for high quality development is constructed from six aspects: human capital,natural capital,physical capital,social capital,financial capital and psychological capital,and the level of adaptive capacity of pig farmers is measured and analyzed by the entropy weight method.Then,the Double-Hurdle model is used to analyze the impact of adaptability and external environmental factors on the high-quality development adaptation behavior decision of small and medium-sized pig farmers;Finally,the endogenous transformation model is used to analyze the effect of pig farmers’ adaptive behavior on the breeding income.The research shows that:(1)The minimum and maximum adaptive capacity of small and medium-sized pig farmers is 0.02 and 0.77,and the overall level of adaptive capacity is low.(2)The proportion of adaptive farmers is high,and 88.85% of them adopt high-quality development adaptive behavior;Each household adopts 9 adaptive behavior measures,with high adaptation intensity.Specifically,farmers prefer to choose the adaptation behavior with low investment cost,simple operation and self-interest,and rarely choose the adaptation behavior with high input costs and unclear short-term benefits.The highest proportion of "harmless treatment of sick and dead pigs" and "resource utilization of farmed manure" is98.69%;The proportion of "purchasing automatic feeding modern breeding facilities" is the lowest,accounting for only 14.75%.(3)Adaptability is the key internal factor that affects the selection and adaptation intensity of high-quality development adaptability of pig farmers.Specifically,human capital and material capital are significantly promoting pig farmers to take high-quality development adaptation decisions;Financial capital and psychological capital have a positive effect on the adaptability of pig farmers.The external environment is the key external factor that affects the selection and adaptation intensity of high-quality development adaptability of pig farmers.Other control variables have significant differences in the impact of high-quality development adaptive behavior decisions of pig farmers.(4)The high-quality development and adaptation behavior of pig breeders has a significant income increase effect.Under the counterfactual hypothesis,when the adaptive breeders do not adopt high-quality development and adaptation behavior,their breeding income will decrease by 17.65%,and when the adaptive breeders adopt adaptation behavior,when the unadapted breeders adopt the adaptation behavior their breeding income will increase by 62.08%. |
