数字能力何以影响山区农户绿色生产行为OACHSSCD

Digital capability,as a new production factor,has become an important factor in promoting farmers'environmentally friendly production decisions.Based on micro-survey data from 529 mountainous households in the pilot counties for digital rural development,in Guizhou Province in 2023,this study employs fixed effects models and mediation effects models to analyze the impact of digital capability on farmers'green production behaviors and its mechanisms,and explores heterogeneity issues.Results show that:Digital capability positively promotes green production behaviors among mountain farmers.With 1%increase in the digital capability level of farmers in mountainous areas,their green production behavior score rises by 26.6%;Digital capability fosters green production adoption among mountain farmers by enhancing their perception of eco-friendly products(6.39%),im-proving information access(14.29%),and increasing pollution awareness(8.65%);Compared with the groups with no re-sponse,those with financial services,the green production risk-averse group,and the group with mistrust of green production technologies,digital capabilities have a more pronounced positive impact on the green production behaviors of the groups with pol-icy response,those without financial services,the green production venture-tolerant group,and the group with trust in green pro-duction technologies.This study offers new reference points for cultivating digital capabilities of mountain farmers to overcome the challenges of transforming mountain agriculture into a green industry.
