Data Sheet 1_Impacts of organizational support on rice farmers’ adoption of green production technologies—implications for food security and environmental sustainability.xlsx

IntroductionThe relentless focus on maximizing production has exacerbated ecological challenges, including agricultural surface pollution, soil crusting, and farmland degradation, which increasingly threaten sustainable development. Agricultural green production technologies are essential for balancing food security with environmental sustainability.
MethodsThis study examines the role of organizational support in fostering farmers’ adoption of agricultural green production technologies, using survey data from 1,426 rice farmers in Jiangxi Province, China. Ordered logit and moderated mediation models reveal a robust positive effect of organizational support on agricultural green production technology adoption, even after addressing endogeneity concerns.
Results and discussionThe findings highlight that the effect of organizational support is more pronounced among farmers with agricultural insurance and those primarily engaged in farming. Mechanistic analysis shows that operation scale partially mediates the relationship between organizational support and agricultural green production technology adoption, accounting for 7.76% of the total effect. Furthermore, social capital acts as a positive moderator, amplifying the impact of organizational support on the operation scale and, subsequently, on agricultural green production technology adoption. These results underscore the need to enhance organizational support measures, promote moderate-scale farming, and cultivate social capital as critical strategies for advancing green agricultural practices.

引言 对产量最大化的不懈追求加剧了农业面源污染、土壤板结与农田退化等各类生态挑战，这些问题正日益威胁可持续发展。农业绿色生产技术是平衡粮食安全与环境可持续性的核心手段。
研究方法 本研究以中国江西省1426名稻农的调研数据为样本，探讨组织支持对农户采纳农业绿色生产技术的促进作用。通过有序logit（Ordered Logit）模型与有调节的中介模型分析，本研究证实组织支持对农业绿色生产技术采纳具有显著正向影响，即便在控制内生性问题后该结论依然稳健。
结果与讨论 研究结果表明，在购买农业保险以及以农业经营为主要收入来源的农户群体中，组织支持的促进效果更为显著。机制分析显示，经营规模在组织支持与农业绿色生产技术采纳之间发挥部分中介作用，中介效应占总效应的7.76%。此外，社会资本发挥正向调节作用，强化了组织支持对经营规模的正向影响，并进一步传导至农业绿色生产技术的采纳行为。上述研究结果凸显，完善组织支持举措、推动适度规模经营以及培育社会资本，是推进农业绿色生产实践的关键策略。
