Effect of ecoliteracy on farmers' participation in pesticide packaging waste governance behavior in rural North China.

This study investigates how ecoliteracy affects farmers' participation in PPW governance and explores the mediating effect of farmers' willingness to participate (WTP) in PPW governance. We use structural equation modeling to analyze data collected from a questionnaire survey including 1118 samples of Chinese farmers. The results show that (1) Ecoliteracy significantly affects farmers
