It is an important practical significance for increasing farmers' income. Using principal component
analysis, this paper used the statistical data of 13 districts and counties in Chongqing in 2007-2013 to calculate the
composite score of progress of agricultural science and technology, in order to evaluate the county's progress of
agricultural science and technology. Then the paper carried on regression analysis to study the relationship between
the progress of agricultural science and technology and farmers' income. The results showed that there were two ways
to improve farmers' income through the progress of agricultural science and technology. First, innovation accelerated
the progress of agricultural science and technology, then improved the income of farmers. Second, by improving
production efficiency, producing labor surplus, the progress of agricultural science and technology indirectly
increased farmers爷income. Finally, the paper proposed policy countermeasures to improve farmers' income. |
