ABSTRACT
In order to study the factors influencing the willingness of family farms to adopt green agricultural
technology, we looked at survey results from six prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu Province. Cluster
stratification and the Logit model were used to empirically analyze the level of desire and influencing
factors related to the adoption of agricultural technology by family farmers. The study found that family
farmers tend to choose improved seed technology, water-saving irrigation technology, high-efficiency
pesticide spray technology, and soil testing formula fertilization technology. This decision is closely
related to crop growth, capital endowment, and other factors affecting the selection of technology by
farmers. It is also related to variables such as market economic returns and surrounding social networks.
Based on this, suggestions are made to improve the land transfer system, implement the occupational
farmers’ cultivation plan, create a good market environment, and optimize the social network resources
available to farmers.
