Abstract: Plastic film plays an important role in agricultural production. It is used widely but recycled rarely. Plastic film has brought on a series of pollution hazards in some areas of China. Based on the survey data of 963 farmers in Yunnan, Logistic model was used to study the influence of ecological cognition and economic conditions on farmers' plastic film recycling choice. The results show that:(1)both ecological cognition and economic conditions had a significant impact on farmers' plastic film recycling choice. Economic conditions played a greater role in promoting farmers' plastic film recycling behavior. (2)Farmers' age, promotion from government, awareness of the importance of ecological protection, household income and environmental protection policy had positive effects on farmers' plastic film recycling behavior. The household agricultural labor had a negative impact on plastic film recycling behavior. Gender and the level of education have no significant influence on the choice of plastic film recycling of farmers. (3)Promotion and supporting policy of government played key role in farmers' choice on plastic film recycling.
