The Control Mechanism of Vegetable Safety Based on Multipartite Cooperative Governance

Abstract:

This paper applies public governance theory to develop a model for controlling the quality and safety of vegetable, and analyzes the process of which government, vegetable suppliers, and vegetable cooperatives take party in vegetable safety governance. Based on the model analysis, our view is that the performance of vegetable safety governance can not improved only by the government. When the vegetable suppliers and the vegetable cooperatives participate in controlling vegetable safety, the governance performance can be improved effectively. The conclusion of model analysis is that the improvement of controlling vegetable safety should be based on the mechanism of which government, vegetable suppliers, and vegetable cooperatives participates in controlling quality and safety of vegetable together.
