Evolutionary Game Mechanism on Complex Networks of Green Agricultural Production under Intensive Management Pattern by Jianguo Du, Zhuoyun Zhou, Lingyan Xu

“…The diffusion of green agricultural production under intensive management pattern is an interactive process of strategy comparison and learning on complex networks among traditional farmers and new agricultural operation entities. Based on the theory of evolutionary game and complex networks, we construct evolutionary game models on the scale-free networks to simulate the evolution process of green agricultural production under the market mechanism and the government guidance mechanism, respectively. …”
