Wenjie Yao and Liguo Zhang
Based on the field survey data of 608 pig farmers in Zhejiang Province, this paper carries out empirical analysis on pig farmers’ current adoption behaviours of waste disposal and its influencing factors and the change of pig farmers’ waste disposal behaviour intention caused by the implementation of environmental subsidy and its influencing factors. The research shows that the implementation of environmental subsidy has a great impact on the willingness of pig farmers to change their waste disposal behaviours, and they will be more inclined to adopt the behaviours that can fully realize the utilization of resources to dispose of their waste. The implementation of environmental subsidy is effective and can encourage pig farmers to change the existing relatively unreasonable and inefficient waste disposal behaviours on the premise that the pig breeding scale, the expected net income from waste disposal, the knowledge of waste reduction methods, the willingness of waste disposal training, the awareness of policies to ban and limit pig breeding, the distance between the pig farm and the nearest river and many other factors can be controlled. Therefore, the government should focus on implementing environmental subsidy for waste disposal with high utilization of resources such as biogas technology and composting technology.
