Abstract:

Based on the analysis framework of “policy path-policy tool-policy evaluation”, this paper took the relevant policy text of agricultural green development issued by Zhejiang Province, the first pilot area of agricultural green development promoted by the whole province, as the object, and adopted content analysis method and policy modeling consistency (PMC) index model to systematically and quantitatively analyze the agricultural green development policy of Zhejiang Province. The results showed that the change of agricultural green development policy in Zhejiang Province was mainly caused by the institutional change path caused by external pressure in the early stage, and gradually by the internal self-adjustment path in the later stage. In general, the choice of policy tools showed a tendency to focus on the first generation of substantive policy tools based on control, and the second generation of procedural policy tools such as participation, cooperation and consultation. The overall evaluation grade of the six selected policies was “good”, indicating that the overall design of Zhejiang agricultural green development policy was reasonable, but there is still room for improvement.

Key words: agricultural green development, Zhejiang, policy pathway, policy tool, quantitative policy evaluation
