Abstract
As the main body of green agricultural production, the production behavior of farmers largely determines the level of green development of agriculture in China. This paper constructed an ordered logit model based on the survey data of 470 tea farmers in four major tea producing areas in Anhui Province, and made an analysis and research on government support, organization and green production behavior of farmers. The results showed that, government support and organization had a positive influence on the green production behavior of farmers. The mediation effect analysis showed that, organization had a significantly mediating effect in the effect of government support on farmers’ green production behavior, that was, government support could indirectly influence farmers’ green production behavior by promoting organization. Heterogeneity analysis showed that, there was a significant difference between government support in promoting green production of small-scale and large-scale farmers. Therefore, to facilitate the green development of agriculture in China, it was necessary to strengthen the incentive effect of policies, to organize with leading companies as the backbone, to promote the cooperation between enterprises and farmers, and to drive farmers to engage in green production.
