目的 在中国的背景下,本文的目的是实证回答三个相关问题:循环农业(CA)能否同时获得经济、生态和社会效益?在新兴经济体中成功开展 CA 业务的关键是什么?谁在建立和维持循环业务方面发挥着至关重要的作用? 设计/方法论/途径 这篇论文基于实地研究,考察了中国的一个农场。它使用三角测量方法来收集信息。除了在农场进行纵向实地调查外,研究人员还采访了多个利益相关者,并对当地市场进行了实地调查。 发现 通过具体的绩效数据,该研究证明循环方法可以帮助共同实现生态、经济和社会目标。它表明,经济可行性对于循环经营的成功至关重要,需要足够的生产途径才能使这种经营可持续,而企业家精神是建立和发展循环企业的关键。 研究局限性/影响 研究结果表明,创业精神在促进新兴经济体循环模式方面发挥着至关重要的作用。然而,鉴于案例研究方法的局限性,这些发现可能不容易推广。 实际意义 该研究强调了政府援助可以发挥作用的几个领域,包括财政激励、信息提供、技术支持,以及最重要的是为创业发展创造积极的环境。 原创性/价值 虽然之前的研究强调了政府在发展中和新兴市场促进循环经济方面的作用,但该研究证明,企业家精神是将政府举措转化为经济上可行和可持续的循环运营的关键。
Purpose In the context of China, the purpose of this paper is to empirically answer three related questions: Could circular agriculture (CA) attain economic, ecological and social benefits simultaneously? What is key to a successful CA business in emerging economies? And who plays the vital role in building and sustaining a circular business? Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on a field study and looks at a farm in China. It uses a triangulation methodology to collect information. Besides longitudinal filed work at the farm, the researchers have also interviewed multiple stakeholders and conducted field research at the local markets. Findings With concrete performance data, the study proves that a circular approach can help achieve ecological, economic and social goals together. It shows that economic viability is essential to succeeding in circular operation, sufficient production pathways are required to make such operation sustainable, and entrepreneurship is key to build and grow a circular business. Research limitations/implications The findings point to the crucial role of entrepreneurship in promoting the circular model in emerging economies. These findings, however, may not be readily generalizable, given the limitations of the case study approach. Practical implications The study highlights a few areas in which government assistance can make a difference, including financial incentives, information provision, technical support and most importantly the creation of a positive environment for entrepreneurial development. Originality/value While prior research emphasizes the role of government in promoting circular economy in developing and emerging markets, the study proves that entrepreneurship is key to turning government initiatives into economically viable and sustainable circular operation.
