Abstract: According to actual features of public goods for disaster reduction in agriculture, an evaluation indicator system of farmers’ satisfaction with the supply of public goods for disaster reduction in agriculture composed of five first-grade indicators containing 18 second-grade indicators was established firstly, and then a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model of farmers’ satisfaction was set up. Finally, farmers’ satisfaction with the supply of public goods for disaster reduction in agriculture in two counties and a district of Hubei Province was evaluated by the model. The results show that farmers are satisfied with the supply of public goods for disaster reduction in agriculture on the whole, but farmers’ satisfaction with openness about funds for disaster reduction, supply structure of public goods, work attitude and work efficiency is at a general level. Some suggestions about the four aspects were proposed, such as improving supervisory mechanisms to increase funding transparency, making information channels unblocked to improve the supply efficiency of public goods for disaster reduction, and improving the quality of government workers to increase their work efficiency.
