| Abstract | Agricultural products are closely related to the masses, and farmers' awareness of the quality and safety of agricultural products is closely related to their age, educational level and family income. Farmers do not know the quality standard of agricultural input and the standard production and operation norms, so the quality and safety of agricultural products is a specific requirement of the government for farmers. This paper expounds the hidden dangers of agricultural products, and summarizes the following aspects to improve the quality of agricultural products, such as the development of agricultural tourism, the improvement of infrastructure management mechanism and mode, etc. During the development of agricultural products in China, the importance of quality and safety has been gradually increased. Because the quality of agricultural products is related to people's health, we should have a deep understanding of the quality and safety of agricultural products. Through the study of farmers' perception theory of agricultural product quality and safety, it is helpful to improve farmers' perception of agricultural product quality and safety. 1. Analysis on the cognitive status of agricultural product quality and safety of peasant households The quality and safety of agricultural products are more important for affecting people's health. Therefore, it is particularly important to improve farmers' awareness of the quality and safety of agricultural products. From the actual situation, there are still some problems to be solved in this respect. These problems mainly reflect that farmers pay more attention to the price and marketing of agricultural products, but they do not pay too much attention to the quality and safety of agricultural products. More attention is paid to their own economic interests. Some farmers do not have a good understanding of the relevant regulations on the use of state inputs and the production and operation of non-polluting agricultural products. Some farmers are not clear about how to produce qualified agricultural products. In addition, from the perspective of farmers' awareness of changeability of agricultural product quality, most farmers have not recorded the production and sale of agricultural products, and it is relatively low to their awareness of changeability of quality. Moreover, the quality of agricultural 2019 International Conference on Education, Management, Social Science and Humanities Research (EMSSHR 2019) Published by CSP © 2019 the Authors 909 products and the guarantee of brand means in transportation and sales have not been improved. On the whole, farmers' awareness of the quality and safety of agricultural products is not optimistic and needs to be further strengthened in many aspects. As shown in Table 1. Table 1.

Factors Affecting Farmers' Cognition of Agricultural Product Quality and Safety The reason why the quality and safety of agricultural products can not be guaranteed lies in the low level of farmers' awareness of the quality and safety of agricultural products. There are many factors affecting the lack of awareness, mainly in the following aspects. As shown in Table 2. Figure 1. Factors Affecting Farmers' Cognition of Agricultural Product Quality and Safety 2.1 Influenced by educational level Although free and compulsory education has been implemented in China since the reform and opening up, the education level of farmers in many areas is still very low. In particular, some farmers in mountainous areas drop out of school from an early age, and the young and middle-aged families often choose to go out to work. Some old people and women are responsible for the harvest of agricultural products at home. These people are lack of education and limited in modern advanced science and technology learning. The concept of agricultural production still stays in the traditional way, which is quite different from the development of agriculture in the new era. Moreover, these people have low education level, limited learning of advanced science and technology, and blind areas in understanding the quality and safety of agricultural products. They can only rely on their own unscientific judgments to recognize. When agricultural products are attacked by pests, they often use excessive pesticides in the process of using pesticides, which also leads to excessive pesticide residues in agricultural products. Therefore, pesticides exceed the |
