The Implementation Effect, Blocking Factors and Relief Paths of The Policy on Cultivating New Professional Farmers Based on The Perspective of Policy Network Theory

This study examines the effectiveness of policies aimed at cultivating new professional farmers in East China, with a particular focus on the role of government support, stakeholder collaboration, and the challenges faced during the implementation of training programs. The aim of the study was to critically assess the impact of these training initiatives and identify key factors that influence their success. A qualitative case study approach was employed, using secondary data analysis of government reports, academic studies, and local evaluations. The findings revealed that while government policies provided a strong framework for agricultural modernization, the success of training programs was impeded by insufficient local resources, fragmented stakeholder collaboration, and farmers' reluctance to adopt new farming techniques. Additionally, the quality of training varied significantly across regions, limiting the program’s effectiveness. The study concludes that the full potential of these training programs can be realized through enhanced stakeholder collaboration, localized policy implementation, and addressing resource and motivation barriers. The implications for policy include the need for more tailored, region-specific strategies, greater investment in infrastructure, and improved coordination between stakeholders to ensure the sustainability and inclusivity of the training initiatives.
