The pig industry plays a dominant role in China’s animal husbandry.Its stable development concerns the vital interests of urban and rural residents and is an objective requirement for promoting the stable operation of the national economy.However,in the process of promoting large-scale development of hog breeding,environmental pollution problems have gradually emerged.Based on the increasingly perfect environmental protection policies for livestock and poultry pollution in China and the gradual strengthening of environmental regulations,the paper conducts research on the behavior selection of farmers(fields).The study proposes the difference between short-term and long-term behavior choices,ie,short-term environmental protection technologies such as manure treatment will be adopted.In the long-term,considering that environmental protection measures increase the cost of breeding,and because of the existence of scale compensation and economies of scale,farmers(fields)are bound to consider whether to adjust the scale of farming.How to realize the coordinated development between environmental protection and farmer household livestock and poultry large-scale breeding has become a key issue that needs to be solved urgently in the development process of animal husbandry in China.This also constitutes the starting point of practical problems in this study.In terms of research ideas,the paper first carried out literature review and theoretical framework interpretation,and then combined with the research theme to build a theoretical framework for the adoption of clean technologies and the willingness to adjust the scale of farming,including new technology adoption,scale adjustment,short-term decision-making and long-term decision-making,clean technology The theoretical framework for adopting and adjusting the scale of farming aspirations.Then,it describes the current status of aquaculture development,pollution control methods and existing problems in Sichuan Province.And based on a further descriptive analysis of environmental awareness,adoption of clean technologies,and willingness to readjust the scale of the sample farmers,the following results have been obtained: Environmental regulations are effective,and most farmers recognize the positive role of environmental inspectors in solving environmental problems.It is generally believed that environmental regulation has led to operational difficulties in their own hog farming and expressed strong dissatisfaction with environmental protection inspectors;in order to deal with environmental regulations,about half of the farmers have chosen to use standardized cleaning technologies.An empirical analysis of farmers’ awareness of environmental regulation,input and adoption of clean technologies,and willingness to expand the size of sample farmers are included.On this basis,the sample was divided,and the measurement model was used to analyze the willingness of farmers(fields)to adjust the scale in the context of environmental regulation.In the basic model,explanatory variables were added to study the adoption of clean technology by farmers and adjust the scale of farming.Influence of willingness,response to cleantech adoption of environmental regulation,impact on willingness to adjust scale of farming(post-regulation variables),scale effect of scale based on scale of farming,ie adoption of clean technology adoption of environmental regulation,scale of operation of farmers,scale empirical study of the impact of adjustments on intentions.Finally,the research conclusions are drawn: Environmental regulations lead to operational difficulties in pig farming;Cleantech adopt behavioral patterns affect the willingness to expand scale;Farmers adopt cleantech adoption behavior in line with the “Patchwork response” feature.For the existing problems,make suggestions for aquaculture production.Finally,the article explains the application of management to this research and looks forward to further research.
