農民對有機農業的認知及採行意願：以雲林縣為例

A Study of Farmers' Cognition and Adopting Intention of Organic Agriculture in Yunlin County

雲林縣是我國重要的農業生產地，其生產的農產品亦影響國人民生食材之安全性，故雲林縣政府於101年已將有機農業政策視為雲林農業發展的重要方向，並舉辦各項研習活動推廣有機耕作觀念，迄今該縣農民對有機農業的認知及採行願意之成效，將值得深入追蹤。本研究旨在探討雲林縣農民對有機農業的認知及採行有機耕作意願是否有關聯性，問卷收集方式採立意抽樣，針對參與縣政府各項研習活動的農民為主要對象，共發出620份，回收415份，回收率67%。據研究結果顯示，農民對有機農業的瞭解愈多，投入有機耕作的意願越高，其中又以年齡層較輕且教育程度較高者，投入意願更為顯著。於抽樣中，有40%的農民未來兩年內願意投入有機耕作，顯示農民對於有機農業的期待，其主因以「對環境生態保育有幫助」及「對身體健康有益」為主。然而，不願意投入有機耕作之農民則認為「投入資金太高無法支應」及「鄰近耕地未同樣有機耕作，環境易受污染」為主要因素。本研究於結論之處將提出具體建議，以供政府機關、農民及有興趣之研究者參考。
