The impact of the grassland ecological compensation policy on the modernization of grassland animal husbandry: evidence from Inner Mongolia by Mei Yong, Lili Xu, Chen Xue, Fulin Du

“…IntroductionAgainst the background of China’s modernization, which emphasizes harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, it is highly important to explore whether the grassland ecological compensation policy (GECP) can protect grassland ecosystems while promoting the modernization of grassland animal husbandry and whether it has spillover effects on rural revitalization.MethodsOn the basis of survey data from 475 herding households in Inner Mongolia, this study constructs an index system for the modernization of grassland animal husbandry, measures the level of modernization via factor analysis, and analyzes the impact of the GECP on the modernization of grassland animal husbandry.Results and discussionThe conclusions are as follows: (1) Through ordinary least squares regression (OLS) and moderation effect models, the GECP can significantly promote the modernization level of grassland animal husbandry. …”
