RETRACTED: Research Rural Ecological Stress Based on Farmers' Livelihood Strategy in Three Gorges Reservoir Area

Abstract

The paper use the AHP-DEA model to evaluate and analyze the current situation and influencing factors of rural ecological environment of farmers with different livelihood strategies in 9 administrative villages in 3 districts and counties of the Three Gorges Reservoir area. The conclusions are as follows: (1) The deeper the nonagricultural level, the worse the impact on the rural ecological environment, and the worse its ecological status. However, the degree of nonagricultural employment of farmers is not the only determinant of the quality of rural ecological environment. (2) The intensity of chemical fertilizer use, agricultural output value, pesticide use intensity, per capita net income, agricultural investment, and agricultural film use intensity are the key factors affecting the rural ecological environment of different part-time farmers in the Three Gorges reservoir area. The government should increase agricultural investment, introduce economically efficient agricultural projects, and vigorously develop low-carbon agriculture. (3) The rural ecological environment of farmers has not improved with the rapid development of the economy but instead has the opposite development trend; that is, the more developed the economy, the worse the rural ecology.
