Study On The Demand Of The Agricultural Science And Technology In Jiangsu Province

Under the pressure of the population explosion,land and water resource constraints,the destruction of the natural environment and the climate change,Agricultural technology innovation have become an important source of food and protection continued effective supply of major agricultural products and it also has made an outstanding contribution for China's agricultural production and farmers' income and rural development.However,the transformation rate was 30-40%,which is far lower than that of 60-80%conversion rate in more developed countries.The vast majority of public financial investment to produce agricultural technology innovations hysteresis or do not meet the farmers' needs,the agricultural technology of Farmers' urgently needed is difficult to be met.Therefore.based on the farmer technology needs,from the perspective of supply and demand of agricultural technology.Understanding the supply and demand of agricultural technology comprehensively.Thereby providing a reference for the agricultural technology research innovative ways to changing and improving the agricultural extension.The main contents include:Content 1:The supply and demand of agriculture technology in Jiangsu province.On the supply side,describing the supply situation and problems of Agricultural technology from the government agricultural extension agencies,research institutes and agricultural universities and Agricultural Technology Park;On the demand side,using the micro household survey data and descriptive statistical analysis to analyze the farmers' need of Jiangsu agricultural technology from the micro-level.The results show that;from the supply point of view,although the supply of agricultural technology has achieved some success in our province,there also faced with some trouble such like follows:lack of agricultural technical staffs,the structure is irrational,the promotion system is not perfect;Lack of market-oriented agricultural research,production,academia,research phase separation;Lack of following-up management,a serious brain drain phenomenon.In demand section,the demand for farmers' modern agriculture technology is very urgent.Reflected in the new agriculture varieties,new breeding technology,new farm machinery,agricultural inputs of pollution-free,processing,preservation and storage of equipment and technology.And the specific needs of farmers for the above technologies are also targeted.Content 2:The analysis of Farmers' demand factors.Using the binary Logit model empirical the factors of agricultural technology needs and its mechanism.The results show that the household age,the number of family-owned agricultural labor,agricultural production year and agricultural profit are significantly affect farmers' need of agricultural technology.Specific performances:the greater the age and the higher the profits,farmers need more agricultural technology.And the more the operating year and the greater the agricultural labor force reduce the farmers' demand for agricultural technology.Finally,based on the above conclusions,this paper attempt to propose several suggestions:improve the ability of farmers to adopt agricultural science and technology;increase scientific and technological training;promote non-agricultural employment transfer;pay more attention to grassroots agricultural science and technology promotion;improve the supply structure of agricultural scientific and technological achievements.
