农药的使用被认为是确保作物生产以实现全球粮食安全的关键。传统的化学农药对生态系统有显著的影响。纳米农药由于其更高的效率和更低的环境影响，越来越多地被认为是一种新兴的替代品。然而，公众对纳米农药的认知和支付意愿（WTP）存在很大的知识差距。因此，我们对中国各地的农药使用者和食品消费者进行了一项关于纳米农药的认知和WTP的区域性调查。我们发现，97.4%的农药使用者愿意支付纳米农药，主要价格比传统农药高25%至40%。应用农药的经验，收入，对纳米农药的熟悉程度和态度，以及对行业的信任是WTP的重要决定因素。虽然公众对纳米农药并不熟悉，但他们对纳米农药的未来发展持积极态度，并支持在产品上标注纳米成分。农药使用者对政府和行业的信任度较高，而34%的食品消费者对销售和生产行业持中立或不信任态度。该研究强调了纳米农药的社会经济和技术方面，可为行业制定市场战略和政府有效设计相关监管政策提供指导，有助于提高作物产量和可持续农业。
The usage of pesticides is deemed essential to ensure crop production for global food security. Conventional chemical pesticides have significant effects on ecosystems. Nanopesticides are increasingly considered an emerging alternative due to their higher efficiency and lower environmental impacts. However, large knowledge gaps exist in the public perceptions and willingness-to-pay (WTP) for nanopesticides. Thus, we conducted a regional survey of pesticide users and food consumers on perceptions and WTP for nanopesticides across China. We found that 97.4% pesticide users were willing to pay for nanopesticides, with a main price from 25% to 40% higher than for conventional pesticides. Experience with applying pesticides, income, familiarity with and attitude toward nanopesticides, and trust in industries were significant determinants of WTP. Although the public were not familiar with nanopesticides, they had positive attitudes toward their future development and supported labeling nanoscale ingredients on products. Pesticide users presented high trust levels in governments and industries, while 34% of food consumers neutrally or distrusted industries in selling and production. This study highlights the socioeconomic and technological aspects of nanopesticides, which could provide guidance for industries to develop market strategies and for governments to design relevant regulation policies effectively, contributing to crop yield improvement and sustainable agriculture.
