Abstract: On the basis of field researches and surveys about Tianjin facility farming, binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors on urban farmers’demand for science and technology information services. The results showed that farmers had a high demand for science and technology information service. Farmer characteristic factor (education), technological induced factors (family income, type of facility, number of long-term farmers), information source factors (diversity of information channel, number of training seminars), and farmer subjective factors (attention on waste treatment technologies, fertilizer quality and pesticides) had significant impacts on farmers’demand for science and technology information service. So the author put forward some policy suggestions, including forming a diversified agricultural technology information service team, giving consideration to both practicality and prospective of information service content and innovating multi-layer and multi-dimensional information service mode.
