Study on differences in influencing factors of farmers' willingness to recycle agricultural film and their behavior based on meta⁃analysis
In view of the inconsistency of empirical research results on the influencing factors of farmers' willingness and behavior to recycle agricultural film and existence of a gap in the transformation from willingness to behavior, this study comprehensively sorts out and re⁃analyzes relevant literature. After searching domestic and foreign empirical studies related to willingness and behavior of agricultural film recycling, 52 documents were finally included after screening. Through heterogeneous test, publication bias test, effect value analysis and meta⁃regression analysis, this study explores the effect and difference of the influencing factors on farmers' willingness and behavior to recycle agricultural film. The results show: (1) Core influencing factors and differences: among cognitive variables, ecological environment value cognition only has a significant positive impact on the willingness to recycle, while agricultural film pollution hazard cognition a significant positive correlation both with the willingness and behavior; among the individual characteristics, age only has a significant positive impact on the recycling behavior, while education level and agricultural income have a significant positive effect on behavior willingness, respectively; among the external environment variables, guidance regulation, restrictive regulation, incentive regulation, and the presence of recycling points all have a significant positive impact on the willingness and behavior and the correlation strength of "whether there is a recycling point" is the highest; (2) Publication bias and moderating effects: among the factors affecting the willingness, the mulching area and participating in relevant training may have publication bias; among the factors affecting the behavior, the scale of planting, guidance regulation, and restrictive regulation may have publication bias; the sample size is an important moderating factor of the "restrictive regulation" effect value, and the "restrictive regulation" has regional heterogeneity——it has a stronger effect on the recycling willingness of farmers in the west, and a more significant effect on the recycling behavior of farmers in the east; (3) Key practice support: perfecting and optimizing the coverage of recycling points are the core external support to narrow the gap between willingness and behavior and to promote the transformation from willingness to behavior. According to this, we put forward policy suggestions such as strengthening the publicity of environmental protection knowledge, perfecting the system of agricultural film recycling, optimizing the recycling network, strengthening the regional adaptability of policies, and reducing the impact of publication bias on scientific research.
