Abstract

Adopting climate-smart agricultural practices (CAPs) has the potential to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change and directly influence the well-being of households. Therefore, this research investigates the impact of CAP adoption intensity on household income, net farm income, and income diversity, using the 2020 China Rural Revitalization Survey data. We utilize the approach of two-stage residual inclusion (2SRI) to mitigate the endogeneity of CAP adoption intensity. The results show that CAP adoption intensity positively and significantly affects household income, net farm income, and income diversity. Heterogeneous analysis indicates that the impacts of CAP adoption intensity on household income increase across the selected quantiles, but the impacts on net farm income decrease across the same. In addition, CAP adoption intensity significantly improves income diversity only at the 20th quantile. Our findings suggest that enhancing farmers’ CAP adoption intensity improves rural household welfare.

气候智能型农业做法的经济效益：经验调查和政策影响

采用气候智能型农业措施（CAPs）有可能减轻气候变化的不利影响，并直接影响家庭的福祉。因此，本研究利用 2020 年中国乡村振兴调查数据，研究了采用气候智能型农业措施的强度对家庭收入、农业纯收入和收入多样性的影响。我们采用两阶段残差包含（2SRI）的方法来缓解 CAP 采用强度的内生性。结果表明，CAP 采用强度对家庭收入、农业净收入和收入多样性有显著的正向影响。异质性分析表明，CAP 采用强度对家庭收入的影响在所选数量级上有所增加，但对农场净收入的影响在相同数量级上有所减少。此外，只有在第 20 个量级上，采用 CAP 的强度才会明显改善收入多样性。我们的研究结果表明，提高农民的 CAP 采用强度可改善农村家庭福利。

期刊介绍： The Earth''s biosphere is being transformed by various anthropogenic activities. Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change addresses a wide range of environment, economic and energy topics and timely issues including global climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, acid deposition, eutrophication of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, species extinction and loss of biological diversity, deforestation and forest degradation, desertification, soil resource degradation, land-use change, sea level rise, destruction of coastal zones, depletion of fresh water and marine fisheries, loss of wetlands and riparian zones and hazardous waste management. Response options to mitigate these threats or to adapt to changing environs are needed to ensure a sustainable biosphere for all forms of life. To that end, Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change provides a forum to encourage the conceptualization, critical examination and debate regarding response options. The aim of this journal is to provide a forum to review, analyze and stimulate the development, testing and implementation of mitigation and adaptation strategies at regional, national and global scales. One of the primary goals of this journal is to contribute to real-time policy analysis and development as national and international policies and agreements are discussed and promulgated.
