Moderate scale operation: strategies and space for small farmers to integrate into modern agriculture
Based on the national conditions of small farmers in a large country, China's agricultural modernization must be farmers-basis. Thus, it is an important practice issue that what strategies farmers adopt to realize the modernization of agricultural management. Based on a case study of an agricultural village in the central and western regions, it is found that the marketization of farmers' enhancing productive factors and appropriate scale operation are a gradual way to integrate into modern agriculture, and that the core is to maintain an appropriate model that matches the business capabilities through family practice. The size of family capital, number of family labors, and market risk-bearing capacity of small farmers jointly determine their business capabilities and affect the size of the "appropriate scale". At the same time, under the background of urbanization, the population outflow will create a land transfer market and a socialized service market for agricultural production, which will help expand the scale of operations under the conditions of stable operation capabilities of small farmers. In the future, the country should further standardize the land transfer market, improve the socialized service system for agricultural production, establish a stable mechanism for linking small farmers with modern agriculture, and realize agricultural modernization with Chinese characteristics.
