“…According to the theory of behavioral stage change, behavioral decision-making is not a static event, but a dynamic multi-stage process (Prochaska and Diclemente, 1983). The complete green production decision process contains multiple stages from whether to decide to participate to decide the degree of participation (Dimara and Skuras, 2003;Doss, 2010;Chen et al, 2020). For green aquaculture, the first stage is for farmers to decide if they would like to participate in green and healthy aquaculture.…”

Implementing the action of green and healthy aquaculture is an important measure to ensure the stable and secure supply of crucial agricultural products and promote the green and high-quality development of the fishing industry in China. This article divides the willingness to participate in the green and healthy aquaculture actions (GHAAs) into three stages: whether to participate, mode of participation, and degree of participation based on the dynamic decision-making process of the farmers. Based on micro survey data of aquaculture households in Zhejiang Province, this paper applies the Triple-Hurdle model to analyze the effect of ecological cognition and environmental regulation on multi-stage participation willingness, with a particular emphasis on exploring the differences in participation willingness between two types of green aquaculture methods, traditional and emerging technologies. The results show that ecological cognition has a positive promoting effect on the willingness to participate in actions and the degree of willingness to participate in both types of technological methods, the constrained environmental regulation policies significantly positively affects the degree of willingness to participate in traditional technological methods, and the incentive environmental regulation policies significantly positively affects the willingness to choose emerging technological methods and its degree of willingness to participate. The analysis of the regulatory effect of environmental regulation shows that constrained regulation policies can enhance the willingness of high ecological cognition farmers to participate in actions, while incentive policies are helpful for high ecological cognition farmers’ adoption willingness of emerging green production technology. In addition, there are scale and intergenerational differences in the effects of ecological cognition and environmental regulation on farmers’ willingness to participate in actions.

“…Airborne microbes exchange inside and outside the pig house (Hong et al, 2021), resulting in contamination from anaerobic digestion of pig manure (Chen et al, 2021a;Ma et al, 2021). Thus, the surrounding environment of pig farms has a characteristic smell.…”

Pig farming has an effect on farmers and the farm environment. Pig gut microbes play an important role in this effect. However, which microbial composition is more likely to be affected remains unknown. Primarily, we collected 136 samples in pig farm A, including 70 pig fecal, 18 farmers, 4 individuals without contact with any type of farm animal (“non-exposed” persons) fecal, and 44 environmental dust samples (dust from inside and outside pig houses and the farm). Another 43 samples were collected from pig farm B, including 10 pig fecal, 24 environment samples, and 9 humans fecal. Whereafter, 16S rRNA sequencing and taxonomic composition analysis were performed. Result showed that pig farmers significantly upregulated 13 genera compared with non-exposed persons, and 76 genera were significantly upregulated inside the pig house than outside the pig house. Comparing non-exposed persons who were farther away from the pig farm, the results showed that the relative abundance of three microbes, including Turicibacter, Terrisporobacter, and Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1, increased between the farmers and environment inside and outside the pig farm, and significant differences were observed (P < 0.05). Moreover, the abundance increased with the exposure time of farmer animals and spatial location to pigs. The greater the distance from the farm, the less effective the three microbes were. Although the distance is about 550 km, the analysis results of pig farm A and pig farm B confirm each other. This study shows that the three microbes where pig farmers co-occurring with the environment come from pig farms, which provides new ideas for blocking the transmission of microbial aerosols in pig farms and reducing pollution.
