The peasant household livelihood assets affect the choice of livelihood strategies which may has the potential to contaminate or degrade the environment. Using grey correlation analysis, this study aims to analyze the correlation between peasant household livelihood assets and regional agricultural pollution in China. Based on the grey correlation analysis procedure, using the related indicators materialized the peasant household livelihood assets and regional agricultural pollution, the results show that intensive farming practices which are affected by livelihood assets induce more agricultural pollution emission in Eastern district. Human capital and physical capital play a key role on affecting the amount of agricultural pollution emission in Middle district. Physical capital, natural capital and financial capital have great influence on regional agricultural pollution in Western district. Therefore the specific policies targeted at controlling regional agricultural pollution should pay more attention to optimizing the peasant household livelihood assets and helping them to adopt suitable livelihood strategies.
Key words: Agricultural pollution, China, grey correlation analysis, livelihood assets, peasant household, ,
