The development of new e-commerce platforms has become a crucial driver economic growth in developing countries, driven by the global wave digitalization and informatization. However, research on underdeveloped rural areas China remains scarce, with even less focus farmers’ behaviors. Based China’s unique characteristics, this study conducts field survey 346 households Inner Mongolia. Using Triple-Hurdle mediation effect models through lens social capital, examines how capital digital...

Food waste in the catering industry currently accounts for almost half of total food China and entails a large amount land, water, labor costs, addition to carbon footprint’s impacts on climate change. Under background increasing consumption from online catering, this study investigates factors influencing behaviors (FW) ordering provides policy recommendations reduction. Using survey data 482 consumers, we constructed theoretical framework examined influence path each factor using...

In the past 10 years, implementation of grassland ecological compensation policy has played an important role in sustainable development pastoral economy. How much impact on herders will delineating conservation redline have? Such delineation is significant for smooth redline. Based this, taking three banner counties with a large area under control Xilin Gol as examples, OLS and quantile regression were used to analyze herdsmen’s income level, ordered Probit model was influencing factors...

With the help of CiteSpace software and Web Science core collection database, we quantitatively analyzed global research progress food waste, explored hotspots, compared methods findings based on literature. The results show following: (1) studies in field are multidisciplinary, with researchers from different countries drawing each other’s work. United States, China, Kingdom, Italy, Sweden top five terms number articles published. (2) Research hotspots have gradually transitioned waste...

Through the analysis of various typical cases, this study examines whether establishment an agro-product regional public brand (ARPB) can effectively boost revenue farmers and increase their share in supply chain. The findings suggest that early-stage ARPB command a price premium for products, yet its overall contribution to farmers’ remains limited due scale constraints. ability is influenced by product characteristics sales strategies, underscoring need enhance control over terminal sales....

In recent years, global climate change has profoundly influenced natural ecosystems and human societies, making mitigation carbon emission reduction a point of consensus among the international community. The issue emissions in agriculture, particularly livestock sector, is garnering increasing attention. This study focuses on large-scale dairy farms central western regions Inner Mongolia, exploring their low-carbon production behavioral intentions influencing factors. By constructing...

Evidence of China's food loss and waste (FLW) its increasing impacts on security environmental sustainability is urgently needed to guide policy intervention avoid unnecessary damage human health the environment. This paper estimates scale FLW in 2019 assesses major types along entire supply chain (FSC) by using a balance material flow analysis (MFA) based existing empirical research. The results show total 422.56 Mt which around 22.37% production (1889.12 Mt). There are also serious land...

Heterogeneity among China’s pastoral households raises the prospect that efficient transfer of grassland-use rights may improve grassland management. More understanding rental is needed if policy incentives on management are to be refined. Based a survey 252 herders in typical steppe, desert steppe and sandy areas Inner Mongolia, significant part overall grasslands, multinomial logit model was used explore factors influencing decision to: (i) rent grassland, (ii) out or (iii) neither nor...

Energy consumption is important to consume less power, reducing toxic fumes released by plants, preserving natural resources, and protecting ecosystems against damage. The challenging characteristics in energy supply include lack of renewable adoption, policy management are 0considered essential factors. An artificial intelligent building with a multi-energy planning method (AIBMEM) has been proposed design systems achieve the best techniques. construction problem framed as predictive model...

Green farming is the inevitable path to solving problem of pasture ecological protection and a fundamental guarantee realize high-quality development grassland animal husbandry. This study explores differences in green behaviors different operating agents pastoral areas. The mechanism formation based on 274 working agents’ survey data from Xilin Gol league areas Inner Mongolia, China, by constructing Logit model Fairlie decomposition method. results show that family ranch primary agent...

Addressing serious grassland degradation without exacerbating already low herder incomes is a major challenge for the Chinese government. In response, Grassland Ecosystem Subsidy and Award Scheme (GESAS) was introduced in 2011 where herders receive payments if they comply with specified stocking rates set at more sustainable levels. However, compliance GESAS, as well some years, an ongoing issue. Using stochastic, dynamic bioeconomic model of representative households desert steppe...

China is investing heavily in agri-environmental and eco-compensation schemes to address growing environmental problems rural areas. However, assessments of the often overlook transaction costs. Transaction costs are particular importance pastoral areas characterised by remoteness, dispersed populations, diverse agro-ecological conditions heterogeneous livestock systems. Drawing on principles from institutional economics, this analysis investigated associated with China's current grassland...

Introduction The lack of trust in eco-labels is a significant reason for the slow growth demand sustainable food, and reducing information gap between relevant parties crucial means to improve consumer eco-labels. Methods In order investigate influence driving pathways consumers' acquisition abilities on their eco-labels, total 1,072 urban rural consumers Inner Mongolia, China were surveyed this study, with an analysis conducted using structural equation model. Results It was found that...

Abstract The non-market values of changes in grassland management stimulated by policies were estimated choice modeling. Four-hundred twenty-seven residents Hohhot city Inner Mongolia selected using the popular mobile phone application WeChat. Conditional logit (CL) and random parameter (RPL) models to analyze preference respondents for environmental social attributes. Based on preferred RPL model, average per household willingness pay over 10 years best policy outcome scenarios was be...

China is about to embark on a new round of grassland policies as part its 14th Five-Year-Plan. Although current have generally been perceived positively in arresting widespread degradation, concerns arisen that the may not be effective achieving desired reduction livestock numbers. Furthermore, there are incentive-based payments these policy programs reflect herder opportunity costs or marginal environmental benefits program, with associated issues satisfaction and compliance. Changes...
