Small farmers' participation in the realization of the value of ecological products: A research review

Abstract

The theory of two mountains is an important concept of sustainable development and rural revitalization in China. Small farmers' active participation in green development is the key to rural revitalization in China. This paper discusses the internal mechanism of farmers' behavior and the realization of the value of rural ecological products, and its significance for China's green sustainable development. This paper reviews the literature on the participation of small farmers in the field of value realization of ecological products. At present, the main research contents in this field include three parts, including the value realization mechanism of ecological products, the theory of small-scale peasant economy, and the relationship between farmers' behavior and ecological environment protection. On the basis of literature review, this paper proposes the priority research areas and basic research framework of this research topic. On the basis of literature review, this paper proposes the priority research areas and basic research framework of this research topic. First, we can build the theoretical framework of the value realization mechanism of ecological products based on the theories of ecological economics, agricultural economics, and new institutional economics, and explain the logical relationship between the realization of ecological product value and the decision-making of small-scale farmers; Second, we should investigate the behavior mechanism, influencing factors and interest mechanism of small-scale farmers in the typical model of ecological product value realization; Third, through case analysis and quantitative analysis, we can explore the linkage mechanism between the realization of ecological product value, farmers' income increase and ecological environment protection from the perspective of small farmers' participation.
