| Abstract: |
| By comparing the ecological compensation of agricultural non-point source pollution in China and abroad,this study analyzes the regional and individual differences of ecological compensation related to agricultural non-point source pollution,and suggests that an effective policy should explicitly consider regional-level heterogeneity including the formation of non-point source pollution,land use,ecological resource endowment,and socioeconomic development as well as individual-level heterogeneity such as public awareness and individual farming practices.We advocate a targeted ecological compensation regime and offer specific suggestions on the implementation of this differentiated policy in the context of Chinese agriculture.In the western region,households that reduce their use of agricultural plastic film,the main non-point source pollutant,can be compensated.However,in the eastern region,compensation should be concentrated on cutting down the use of fertilizers and pesticides.In the south,where heavy metals in the soil are a significant obstacle to regional development,the main methods of alleviation should focus on the improvement of the soil,including adding chemical additive or planting vegetation that adsorbs heavy metals. |
