本研究は、中国の農民を対象に、低炭素農業技術（LCAT）の普及プログラムの設計属性（組織主体、提供者、形式、参加費用）に対する選好を離散選択実験で分析した。結果、提供形式が最も重要であり、地元農業局や研究機関による組織化が好まれ、参加費用も重要な制約であることが示された。また、高齢農家や大規模農家など特定の農家層で参加意欲が高い。福祉シミュレーションにより、公共・研究機関による組織化、正式な技術提供、現地指導を組み合わせたプログラムが最大の厚生改善をもたらすと示唆された。
English
This study uses a discrete choice experiment to analyze Chinese farmers' preferences for low-carbon agricultural technology (LCAT) extension program attributes: organizing body, delivery agent, format, and participation cost. Results show delivery format is most influential, with local agricultural bureaus and research institutions preferred over input suppliers, and participation cost remains a key constraint. Preferences vary by farmer characteristics, with older, larger-scale, healthier, and tech-positive farmers more willing to participate. Welfare simulations suggest programs combining public/research organization, formal technical delivery, and on-site guidance yield the largest welfare gains.

日本のGX文脈において
本研究成果は、日本の農業分野におけるGX推進にも示唆を与える。特に、普及プログラムの設計において提供形式や組織主体の重要性を定量的に示しており、日本の農業普及制度や地域の脱炭素施策の設計に参考となる。また、農家の選好を考慮したプログラム設計は、日本の農業分野でのカーボンニュートラル達成に向けた政策立案に有用である。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global GX scholarship by providing empirical evidence on farmer preferences for low-carbon agricultural extension programs, a critical yet understudied aspect of climate mitigation in agriculture. The findings are relevant for designing effective extension strategies in emerging economies and beyond, aligning with global efforts to promote sustainable agriculture and reduce emissions. The methodological approach using discrete choice experiments can be applied to other contexts, enhancing understanding of behavioral drivers in technology adoption.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Low-carbon agricultural technologies (LCAT) are central to climate mitigation, yet their adoption remains low, including in emerging economies. While prior research has focused mainly on technology attributes and broad adoption barriers, less attention has been paid to how the design and delivery of organized LCAT extension programmes shape farmers’ willingness to engage. This study uses a discrete choice experiment to examine Chinese farmers’ preferences for organized LCAT extension programmes and focuses on four key attributes: organizing bodies, delivery agents, delivery formats, and participation costs. The findings show that the delivery format emerges as the most influential attribute, suggesting that policy-makers should prioritize it in programme design. Farmers place higher value on programmes organized by local agricultural bureaus and agricultural research institutions than on those organized by agricultural input suppliers, and they evaluate local extension personnel less favourably than the other delivery-agent categories. Participation cost remains an important constraint, and preferences vary systematically across farmer groups. In particular, older farmers, those operating larger farms, those in good health, and those with favourable attitudes towards agricultural technology exhibit greater willingness to participate. Welfare simulations further suggest that extension programmes combining public or research-based organization, formal technical delivery, and on-site field guidance generate the largest gains in farmer welfare. By quantifying farmers’ preferences for specific institutional and delivery configurations, our paper provides evidence for designing LCAT extension strategies that better reflect farmer priorities and for determining how programme components should be prioritized, sequenced, and supported under real-world budget and implementation constraints.
