A study of the impact of policy-based agricultural insurance on farmers’ willingness to adopt pro-environmentally production behaviors: evidence from Jiangxi Province in China by Yanzhe Li, Kai Hu, Huiping Wu, Wei Luo, Zhaoguang Li

“…In addition, this paper also explores the mediating roles of planting scale, planting structure and risk attitude through the mediating effect model and Bootstrap method.ResultsThe main findings of this paper are as follows: (1) Policy-based agricultural insurance can effectively enhance farmers’ adoption willingness to adopt pro-environmental production willingness. (2) Policy-based agricultural insurance can enhance farmers’ pro-environmental production willingness by incentivizing them to expand the scale of planting. (3) Policy-based agricultural insurance can increase farmers’ pro-environmental production willingness by changing their risk attitudes and increasing their risk preferences.DiscussionBased on the results of the study, this paper suggests that the government should continue to optimize the policy-based agricultural insurance products, expand the coverage, improve the payout process, increase the payout capacity, and enhance its stimulating effect on farmers’ willingness to adopt pro-environmental production behaviors.…”
