“…The household's income is positive and significant in relation to willingness to pay and amount willing to pay. Income-driven demand for environmental improvements is consistent with findings in the field of environmental economics (Wang & Tao 2020). This may be because people are now better equipped and understand the consequences of improper waste disposal.…”

“…Although fossil fuels dominate any conversation regarding climate change, the supply chain of household animals, including poultry, has been neglected as a major source of greenhouse gases (GHG) (Aryal et al 2020). For instance, by 2050, biomass energy will account for 50% of the world's energy (Wang & Tao 2020). Fossil fuels now supply about 30% of the world's energy demands in poultry farming (Atinkut et al 2020).…”

“…Recent studies on developing countries have stressed the importance of utilising alternative bioenergy in the poultry industry (Štreimikienė & Baležentis 2015), but only a few studies have examined knowledge of and willingness to pay for biogas, which is a highly rated renewable energy in the poultry industries in other African and Asian countries (Wang & Tao 2020;. A study by Wairimu et al (2020) focuses more on characterising energy sources.…”

Poultry waste management and the energy demand have generated environmental and climate change concerns. Experts have suggested converting poultry waste to biogas energy through recycling to reduce these concerns. Biogas, a poultry waste-recycling product, has yet to gain popularity in Nigeria. However, there is only limited research that has examined awareness of biogas, along with farmers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for it and their payment capacity (PC). Data generated through focus group discussions with and questionnaires completed by 225 poultry farmers selected through multistage sampling were analysed using descriptive and contingency valuation methods. The study established differentials in the magnitude of determinants of households’ WTP and PC. Farmers’ willingness to pay was mostly responsive to variables tied to the type of farm product and household endowment, while the capacity to pay was tied to income and environmental conditions. The study proposes that policy on farmers’ willingness to pay for biogas from poultry production should take into account differences in the type of poultry product, household endowment, and environmental conditions.

“…However, some studies, for example Knockaert et al [ 30 ] and Zhang et al [ 31 ], suggest that these mechanisms may impact farmer’s attitudes and subjective norms as mediators. Interestingly, among the various studies of the Chinese livestock industry, most researchers (e.g., Ge et al [ 32 ], Si et al [ 33 ], and Wang and Tao [ 34 ]) have observed that enabling an environmentally friendly waste management revolution is likely to be primarily influenced by governmental disincentive and incentive mechanisms. The present study adopts the variables and core model presented by Ge et al [ 32 ] and modifies these in relation to the context of the study.…”

Environmentally friendly waste management (EFWM) is a safer way of waste disposal that can foster a cleaner environment for both farms and their surroundings. It may lessen land, air, and water pollution, as well as moderate ecological footprints, and aid in sustainable agricultural development, which has become one of the major concerns of the modern era. To achieve these outcomes, incentives and control mechanisms initiated by the government may alter farmers’ behavior. The study involved a review of relevant literature and the conduct of interviews with 499 pig breeders to evaluate the impacts of government incentives and control mechanisms on fostering the adoption of environmentally friendly waste management practices by farmers. A theoretical framework based on existing studies is proposed, utilizing a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach to analyze the data and illustrate the relationships among incentives and control mechanisms. The results show that: (i) overall the impacts of incentive mechanisms were stronger and more effective than those of control mechanisms. Among them, subsidy policy and discount policy were the most influential for farmers’ adoption behavior. However, penalty and disincentive policy also impacted the outcome variables; (ii) a significant relationship was observed among regulatory, disincentive, and subsidy policies and a moderate relationship among penalty, insurance, and discount policies. However, bonus-community service and social critic policies did not show any significant relationship with any other variables. The research findings can assist the Chinese government in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the impacts of two crucial mechanisms and promoting the adoption of environmentally friendly practices by farmers. The government should highlight and strengthen the importance of social obligations and orientation, as well as providing monetary support at the rural level to improve farmers’ ability to adapt to environmentally friendly waste management practices.
