An Empirical Analysis of Farmers’ Willingness to Participate in Forest Carbon Sequestration Projects——Based on the Data of 300 Sample Farmers in Fujian Province

Forest carbon sequestration projects are important means for China to address global climate issues.As the main participants in forest carbon sequestration,farmers’ willingness to participate will directly affect the planting and management of carbon sequestration forests in China,thereby affecting the realization of China’s dual carbon goals.Based on the theory of planned behavior,this paper proposed theoretical assumptions that affect farmers’ willingness to participate.Then,it conducted an empirical analysis based on the sample data of 300 farmers in the sample areas of Fujian Province by using a binary logistic model.The results showed that the willingness to sell forest carbon sinks through the Internet,the willingness to own ecological public welfare forests as carbon sinks,and whether to recognize REDD as a carbon reduction product had a significant positive impact on farmers’ willingness to participate in forest carbon sink projects.Age and difficulty in obtaining forestry information had a significant negative impact on farmers’ willingness to participate in forest carbon sink projects.Finally,based on the empirical results,it proposed relevant suggestions to improve farmers’ willingness to participate in forest carbon sequestration projects.
